(Note) 1. With the launch of long-term care insurance system in April 2000, some of the expenses that were subjected to national medical care expenditure were transferred to long-term care insurance fees and are no longer included in national medical expenditure on and after FY2000.

2. Estimation of figures in this table has been made since FY1962.

3. Pharmacy dispensing was included in outpatient medical fees until they were newly classified as a separate item in FY1977.

4. Figures until FY2005 indicate “hospital meal expenses” (total amount of hospital meal expenses and standard co-payment) and figures since FY2006 indicate the total amount of hospital meal expenses, standard co-payment for meal expenses, hospital living expenses, and standard co-payment for living expenses.

5. Medical treatment fees at health service facilities for the elderly are not included in national health expenditure on and after FY2000 because the these fees are those who are certified for long-term care need.

6. “Medical fees of medical treatment” and “medical care expenses, etc.” were included in “general medical fees” until they were newly classified as a separate item in FY2008.
