New patients
Find a kakaritsuke physician, or family doctor, in your community.
Special initial consultation fee/Special follow-up consultation fee/Self-pay care fee
Note for outpatient visits: Make an appointment for an outpatient visit.
Since January 20 (Monday), 2020, we have encouraged patients to make an appointment in advance for an outpatient visit regardless of whether or not they have a referral letter. Without a prior appointment, you may have to wait until the next day or later. After receiving a referral letter from your kakaritsuke physician or other doctor, be sure to make an appointment in advance. If you need to see a doctor as a result of a medical examination, you also need to make an appointment for an outpatient visit. You can reduce your waiting time by making a prior appointment. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

Referral letters
Iwata City Hospital takes part in regional medical cooperation in which local hospitals, clinics, and other medical institutions play different roles. Accordingly, new patients without a referral letter are charged a Specified First Visit Fee of 7,700 yen. We recommend that you first visit a nearby hospital or clinic to receive a referral letter. |
