Once a family member (dependent) starts a new job, the health insurance provided by the family member’s employer will take precedence.

However, the family member will not automatically lose eligibility as a dependent under the Hitachi Health Insurance Society.

In addition to the notification under the Income Tax Law, you are required to remove your dependents from

Hitachi Health Insurance (notification under the Health Insurance Law).

 

[Humanimate21/ESS or SHAREX EXself users]

・On the employee support system (Humanimate21/ESS or SHAREX EXself), register the health insurance dependent status as

“non-dependent” under Basic information of the person Application > Family Information Application.

 

・You will be redirected to the Hitachi Health Insurance Society Application Support System.

Follow the instructions provided on the screen to complete the application.

 

・A PDF of the Notification of Health Insurance Dependent Change (Removal) form will be displayed once you complete the application.

Print this form.

 

・Submit the printed Notification of Health Insurance Dependent Change (Removal) form and the family member’s health insurance card

or eligibility verification certificate,  (if you have one issued by Hitachi Health Insurance).

 

* Consult with your employer’s health insurance contact (e.g., General Affairs, Labor Management) if you are unable to complete the procedures

in this way (for example, if you cannot access the employee support system).

*Please note*.
If you have used your Hitachi Health Insurance policy or certificate of eligibility after the date of employment of your family, you will be required to return the medical expenses paid by Hitachi Health Insurance.

 In addition, if you delay the procedures for removing yourself from Hitachi Health Insurance coverage, the procedures for returning medical expenses, etc. due to the retroactive expiration of your eligibility may become more complicated.
