Guide for Outpatient Visit

Chiba University Hospital (CHU) is an "Advanced treatment hospital" that has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW). Advanced treatment hospitals provide high quality medical service efficiently to people in the area.

On principle, CHU is only intended for severe patients referred from other medical institutions (hospitals, doctor's offices, etc.), thus requires first time patients to bring a letter of referral. We ask for your understanding of this system.
In accordance with the Health and Welfare Ministry Law enacted April 1, 1996, CHU asks patients without a letter of referral to pay for First-Visit Consultation Fee (13,200yen) in addition to the regular cost of treatment.

Please note that making a special payment of 13,200 yen for the first visit based on the system for payment of medical fees including those for care outside insurance coverage does not necessarily ensure that you will be able to see a doctor at Chiba University Hospital. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

About Off-Hours Medical Treatment

Our hospital prioritizes acceptance of patients requiring emergency treatment, and/or hospitalization around the clock. Patients with mild symptoms will be charged a selective treatment fee for off-hours in addition to standard medical fees.

Selective Treatment Fee
for Off-Hours		 13,200 yen (including tax)

Even if patients arrive via ambulance, they may still be subject to the selective treatment fee for off-hours. If you are a resident of Chiba Prefecture and are not certain whether to call an ambulance, please call #7119 (for adults) or #8000 (for children) for consultation.

By "off-hours," we refer to the hours outside the regular medical consultation and treatment hours on weekdays.
