Do you know what nursing care insurance is?

かいごほけんせいど

介護保険制度について

The nursing care insurance system is designed to support society as a whole so that everyone can live an independent
life with peace of mind. If a person needs a certain level of nursing care, he or she can receive the services after receiving
certification from the city.
◆An insured person's card (pink) will be sent to those who turn 65 years old.
This is necessary for applying for nursing care certification and for using nursing care services. Pleasekeep it in a safe place when you receive it.
◆Those who are 65 or older will receive a notice of nursing care insurance payment after July 12.
The premium amount is calculated based on your income and tax status of the previous year.
Nursing care insurance premiums are deducted from your pension.
*The premiums for those aged 40 to 64 are paid in a lump sum with the medical insurance premiums they are enrolled in.
*Depending on the situation, you may be eligible for a reduction, exemption or a deferment of payments. Please consult with us.
