Internal Medicine
We provide insurance-covered care, so please present your health insurance card if you wish to use it. We ask that you present your insurance card once each month (uploading it to our medical questionnaire is also acceptable).
We strive to provide high-quality care by acquiring and utilizing clinical information.
My Number insurance cards can also be used.
If you forget your insurance card, you will first be asked to pay the full amount, and we will refund the difference when you bring your insurance card at a later date (within the same month).
Conditions We Treat
We provide a wide range of care, from acute symptoms (symptoms that have appeared suddenly) such as fever, cough, phlegm, sore throat, abdominal pain and nausea, to chronic conditions including lifestyle-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia (hyperlipidemia), hyperuricemia, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.
As we do not have medical equipment such as X-ray, CT or MRI, we will refer patients who we determine require these examinations, or who are considered to require inpatient treatment or surgery, to an appropriate medical institution or specialist.
The main symptoms we handle are listed below. We may also be able to examine other symptoms, so please contact us.

For Those with Fever or Cold Symptoms

If you have cold symptoms such as fever or sore throat, we may conduct the consultation outside the clinic building from an infection-prevention standpoint.
Prices
When consultations, testing and treatment (prescriptions) are provided under insurance coverage, the approximate costs are as follows.
Even if you are a first-visit patient without a referral letter, no “selected medical care fee” beyond the initial consultation fee applies (at hospitals with 200 or more beds, this is often 5,000 yen or more). (Reference site is here)
Please consider us for visits at night and on holidays. Compared with care received at the emergency outpatient department of a secondary emergency medical institution or via emergency transport, you can be seen with an out-of-pocket cost of about 1/2 to 1/3.
