- When you visit a contracted hospital (medical or dental) or receive medicine from a contracted pharmacy
Whenever you visit a contracted medical institution around the campus, be sure to bring your student ID card and insurance card and present them at the counter of the institution. When you visit a contracted medical institution, the contracted medical institution will send your medical and dispensing data directly to the Waseda University Student Health Promotion Mutual Aid Association for processing, so you do not need to apply for medical expense benefits. You do not need to apply for medical expense benefits. Please make sure that your MyWaseda “Account in your name” is registered correctly.
- When you visit a “non-contracted hospital” or receive medicine from a “non-contracted pharmacy“
You are eligible for medical benefits if you receive treatment at a medical institution in Japan. Please fill out the “Application for Reimbursement of Medical Fees” by yourself and apply for it at the reception desk of the Waseda University Student Health Service Center with your receipt (a copy is acceptable). The deadline for application is the 10th day of the third month following the month in which you received medical treatment (e.g., if you received medical treatment in January, the deadline for application is April 10). Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Please make sure that your MyWaseda “Account in your name” is registered correctly in advance.
