MyNa Health Insurance Card: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use your My Number Card as a health insurance card to simplify your medical visits in Japan.
The MyNa Health Insurance Card allows you to use your existing My Number Card as your official health insurance card for medical services.
Who it's for
This is available to anyone who is already a holder of a My Number Card.
What you get
Instead of carrying a separate, dedicated health insurance card, you can simply use your My Number Card to prove your insurance status when visiting a doctor or pharmacy.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary cost mentioned for the card itself, but you must take the time to link your existing card through the MynaPortal to make it functional for healthcare.
The catch to know
While the goal is to use only your My Number Card, some medical clinics may still ask to see your physical, traditional health insurance card.
How to apply
- Ensure you have a valid My Number Card.
- Access the MynaPortal to link your card to your health insurance.
- Present your My Number Card at the reception of your medical provider.
