Notification for Processing Personal Data

In Japan, overseas visitors with outstanding debts of unpaid medical fees from one or more Japanese medical institutions may be strictly examined in immigration for re-entry to Japan in order to prevent further unpaid situations.

Therefore, if the medical fee for this medical care is not paid, personal information of a patient who is a non-resident of Japan and is not covered with Japanese public health insurance may be provided to “Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare”, “Immigration Services Agency of Japan” and other public authorities which engage in operations related to the entry of the patient into Japan.

Personal information may be shared with “Immigration Services Agency of Japan” via “Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare”  and will be used for future entry examinations in immigration only when medical fees are not paid. Personal information will not be used for any other purposes than entry examination.
