Confirmation Before Consultation
About Referral Documents
Koseikan promotes cooperation with primary care providers. Therefore, please bring referral documents when you first visit the hospital if possible.
Please note that if you do not bring referral documents from previous hospitals or clinics, you will be charged 5,500 yen at your first visit as the initial examination fee for non-referral patients.
In addition, even if it is not your first visit, it may be considered as the first consultation depending on your symptom. In this case, also, you will be charged 5,500 yen if you do not have a referral.
We will provide referral documents(clinical information document)to your primary care provider when professional treatment is terminated at Kosaikan. This is a document that describes information necessary for both Koseikan and your primary care provider to continue treatment together. The referral letter(clinical information document)cost will be determined by the medical treatment fee.
