Outpatient Guide for Overseas Private Insurance & GOP
Kameda Medical Center accepts various international private health insurances. We offer direct billing (cashless service) for patients who can provide a valid Guarantee of Payment (GOP) prior to their consultation.
A GOP is an official document issued by your insurance company or assistance company. It confirms that they will cover the medical expenses for your specific treatment at our hospital.
Without a valid GOP, you will be required to pay the full amount out-of-pocket on the day of your visit.
Process Flow
| STEP1 | Contact Your Insurance Provider Before your appointment, please contact your insurance company to verify your coverage for medical services in Japan. Request them to issue a Guarantee of Payment (GOP) addressed to Kameda Medical Center. |
| STEP2 | Submit the GOP to Our Hospital The GOP must be sent directly from your insurance company to our International Patient Support Center via email or fax at least 3 business days prior to your appointment.

Important Notice Regarding Self-Payment
You will be required to pay the medical fees upfront (Self-Pay) under the following circumstances:
- We do not receive a valid GOP from your insurance company prior to your consultation.
- Your insurance company does not offer a direct billing arrangement with our hospital.

If you pay upfront, we will provide you with an itemized receipt and a medical certificate (upon request) so you can file a claim directly with your insurance company later.
