Notification of participation

A certificate of eligibility will be sent from the Regional Coalition at the end of the month before the 75th birthday month. In addition, those who are receiving welfare are not insured.

If you have a family member who is transferred from the company's employee health insurance to the medical system for elder senior citizens.

If your family is a dependent of the company's employee health insurance or health insurance union, your family will withdraw from the medical insurance if you move to the medical system for elder senior citizens.
In this case, your family will take out other medical insurance such as the National Health Insurance of Yokohama City. You need to apply for National Health Insurance at your ward office, Insurance and Pension Division National Health Insurance Section.
