Since I found out about my wife's pregnancy, we had the opportunity to receive documents and booklets roughly twice: at the government office where we received the maternal and child health handbook, and at the metropolitan hospital we went first time.
There are so many documents and booklets that we have received, so I will not think about information magazines such as Tamago Club, Hiyoko Club, and Zexy Baby for the time being. haha
*Tamago Club, Hiyoko Club, and Zexy Baby are Japanese magazines about childbirth and parenting.
For the time being, the sea of documents in front of me is full of various documents, so I decided to rescue the documents I got from the government office first from there.
While singing, "Where are the documents I got from the government office～♪" and swimming in the ocean of prints with the cheerful rhythm...,
~ Guidance for pregnant women ~
I found a document with the above name!
This document was sandwiched between documents with "Toshima Ward" and the name of the ward, so it seems that this is the document I got from the government office.
In this ~ Guidance for pregnant women ~, there was an item About the cost of the pregnant woman's medical checkup!!
About the cost of the pregnant woman's medical checkup
● In Toshima Ward, out of regular health checkups, "1st health checkup after confirmation of pregnancy and issuance of Maternal and Child Health Handbook", "2nd to 14th health checkup after that", "1 time ultrasound examination" and "Cervical cancer screening for pregnant women", part of cost of them are subsidized.
● About the furtherance of expense, we support with fixed amount as the upper limit, and self-pay occurs when you exceed the amount of public expenditure by guidance contents and examination contents in medical institution. If there is a claim for self-pay, please pay at the medical institution window.
【2021 Public Expenditure Maximum Amount]】*The subsidy amount may change depending on the year.
1st time: 10,850 yen 2nd to 14th: 5,070 yen Ultrasound examination: 5,300 yen Cervical cancer screening: 3,400 yen

I see, i see.
Not all medical examinations are free, and the upper limit of the subsidy is decided.
I had no idea that such an important matter was written on the first document I received from the government office. hahaha
"Oh… Come to think of it, I paid 0 yen for the second checkup, but I paid close to 20,000 yen for the first one!?"
The total amount of 1,619 insurance points including 1,031 points of checkup on the first sheet was 0 yen, and the total amount of 1,814 points of checkup on the second sheet was 18,140 yen.
*In Japan, the price for medical practice is calculated based on the points determined for each medical practice, with "1 point = 10 yen".
I was relieved that my payment had been properly subsidized.
After 2 days and 4 hours of organizing, I was able to put all the prints into one file.
