Admission Costs

Payment Counter

The payment counter is located on the 1st floor of the main building.

Payment Hours

Payment can be made from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm (except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays). Please try to come in the afternoon as it tends to be crowded in the morning.

Payment during Hospitalization

We will bill you for the previous month's hospitalization costs around the 10th of each month. Please make payment promptly at the 1st-floor payment counter, through the automatic payment machine, or at the nearest bank.
Please note that bank transfer fees are the responsibility of the patient.

Payment upon Discharge

Please make payment on the day of discharge at the 1st-floor payment counter or through the automatic payment machine. An Ashikaga Bank ATM is located in the center (south side of Reception A).

In addition, we also accept credit card payments. If you are discharged on a holiday, the bill will be sent after the holiday. However, if you have an outpatient appointment immediately after discharge, we may bill you on the day of the outpatient appointment.

Receipts

We do not reissue receipts, so please keep them carefully.

Special Room Rates

The rates for special rooms are as shown in the table below. Room charges will be covered by the patient. If there are no vacant rooms available in the desired room type, you may not be able to use the room. Additionally, even if you have already been admitted to a private room, you may be asked to move to a regular room depending on the hospital ward's circumstances.
Please note that the daily charge applies to the day you enter and the day you leave the room, regardless of the time you spend in the room.

DPC

At our center, we calculate hospitalization expenses using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) method. DPS is a method of calculating medical expenses based on a fixed daily point value determined by the classification of diagnosis groups set by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

However, in special cases such as being admitted to the Palliative Ward (East Ward 5: 5th floor of the New Wing) or exceeding a certain length of stay, only the fee for the excess period will be calculated using the fee-for-service method, not DPC. However, in special cases such as being admitted to the Palliative Care Ward (East 5th Floor of the New Building) or the fee for the excess period in case of exceeding a certain length of stay, the fee will be calculated using the fee-for-service method, not DPC.

Please note that the daily charge applies to the day you enter and the day you leave the room, regardless of the time you spend in the room.
