■ Reporting
Your Pregnancy
As soon as you find out that you are pregnant, be sure to report
your pregnancy to Residents Health
Consultation Offices (Shimin Kenko Sodan Shitsu). You will receive a
Maternal and Child Health Handbook (Boshi Kenko Techo). This handbook
records prenatal checkups as well as postnatal health conditions of both
the mother and baby, and the growth of the child. It is also required for
consultations and medical treatment.

■ Medical
Expense Subsidies for Infants
Matsudo
City provides subsidies for children up to sixth grade to pay a part of
their medical expenses, given that a specified set of conditions for
the children are met.
When you move into Matsudo, please be sure to get "Child Medical Expense Subsidies Tickets"
(Kodomo Iryohi Josei Jukyuken) for children who are in third grade or
under. Without the tickets you cannot receive the subsidies.
For children between fourth and sixth grade, Matsudo City doesn’t
provide "Child Medical Expense Subsidies Tickets" (Kodomo Iryohi Josei
Jukyuken). The subsidy is provided after the child goes to the hospital
and pays the medical bill.
For application of reimbursement (payback), please come to the Subsidy
Office with the receipt from the hospital, personal seal, child’s
health insurance card, and parent/guardian’s health insurance card
within two years.
