The process of going to Japan for medical treatment: First of all, patients need to know their medical needs, choose hospitals and doctors suitable for their own conditions, sort out their pathological data, submit them to Japanese hospitals for review, apply for Japanese medical visas, go to Japan for medical treatment as planned, and settle the expenses after treatment.

Process of going to Japan for medical treatment:

1. First of all, patients need to know their own medical needs and choose hospitals and doctors suitable for their own situation. Generally speaking, patients who go to Japan for medical treatment need to seek help from institutions. After all, institutions are familiar with the choice of hospitals and doctors and can provide good reference for patients.

2. Organize your own pathological information. Because Japanese hospitals implement the appointment system, while foreign hospitals attach great importance to patients' pathological information, many patients' information is incomplete or irregular, which takes time to retranslate the information, and some of them are directly rejected. Japan Medical Network has professional medical translators who can easily help patients solve such problems.

3. Submit the translated case data to Japanese hospitals for review. If it is received, the Japanese hospital will give a written feedback with a clear date of seeing a doctor. We should purchase air tickets, apply for visas, book accommodation, order medical translators and remit medical expenses according to this date.

4. Apply for a Japanese medical visa. Japanese tourist visas are only valid for 2 weeks, so friends who plan to go to Japan for treatment need to apply for special medical visas. There are single and multiple medical visas in Japan. A single Japanese medical visa is valid for three months. If you want to go to Japan for treatment after three months, you need to apply again. Multiple round-trip medical visa to Japan-the permit is valid for up to 3 years, and multiple round-trips can be made within 3 years.

5. Go to Japan for medical treatment as planned. After obtaining the medical visa, the patient and his entourage will go to Japan according to the original treatment plan and receive treatment at the appointed Japanese medical institution. The medical network will arrange medical translation to accompany in advance, and the medical translation fee will be borne by the patient. According to the requirements of some medical institutions, foreign patients who go to Japan for medical treatment must pay the treatment fee in advance or have a third-party agent to pay; Patients are required to pay in advance to the hospital or by the Japanese head office of the medical network, and the expenses will be refunded more and supplemented less.

6. After the treatment is completed, after the patient returns to China, the medical network will settle the actual expenses with the Japanese medical institutions and translation agencies, and provide the details of the expenses. At the same time, we will continue to coordinate with Japanese medical institutions, provide follow-up medical services, and give regular feedback on the illness.
