The Japanese government has decided that the current health insurance card will be abolished on December 2, 2024. 
Health insurance cards will no longer be issued thereafter, and in principle, you will need to prepare a Myna health insurance card (*).


Health insurance cards already issued will remain valid for up to one year after this date as a provisional measure. However, if you change your name after the abolition date, a new health insurance card cannot be issued even during the transitional measure period.
 

* Myna (My Number) health insurance card: This is an Individual Number Card (also called "My Number Card") registered for use as a health insurance card. 

* Plans call for those who do not have or do not use Myna health insurance cards to be able to get examinations and treatment at medical care institutions using eligibility verification certificates issued by YG Health Insurance Societies. 

 

You must be issued an Individual Number Card and complete registration for use on Myna portal or elsewhere. Illness and injury are unpredictable. To avoid panicking at the deadline, please prepare your MyNa insurance card now.
