Basic health checkup
Once each fiscal year, the Hitachi Health Insurance Society subsidizes one of the following health checkups: complete medical checkup, abbreviated complete medical checkup, health checkup for women, and periodic health checkup. Each of these serves as both a statutory health checkup (periodic health checkup) and a specific health checkup. (Note that the establishment pays the full cost of Periodic Health Checkup A/B.)
- * No subsidy will be provided for complete medical checkups, abbreviated complete medical checkups, or health checkups for women for employees who have already received a statutory health checkup (e.g., Periodic Health Checkup 35/A/B) through group checkups organized by their establishments.
- * You are eligible for the subsidy only once per fiscal year even if you transfer to another establishment during the fiscal year. Take care to avoid duplicated checkups; the second checkup for a given fiscal year is not covered by the subsidy.
- * Also check the information provided by your establishment concerning health checkups.
Follow the instructions provided by the establishment if the establishment coordinates procedures for health checkups and subsidy applications.
