Regarding the treatment of combined medical costs for high medical expenses for long-term care, is the treatment applicable to co-payments borne by my father who lives with me and is covered by the Advanced Elderly Medical Service System?
Insured persons covered by the Advanced Elderly Medical Service System are not treated as belonging to the same household under the Japanese medical system. Therefore, their medical expenses are not allowed to be combined. However, if the calculation period on the co-payments included days during which your father had been your dependent, the co-payment portion over such period is allowed to be combined.
