2 What is Sentei ryoyo fee (sentei means to choose or select, ryoyo means treatment) It is an additional fee charged to first-time visiting patients without a referral letter in large medical facilities (facilities with over 200 beds); This system was established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to promote cooperation and division of labor among medical institutions by encouraging patients to make non-emergency or initial visits to smaller clinics and specialized treatments to large medical facilities. Please note that aside from the consultation fee, an additional Sentei Ryoyo fee of \4,320(tax included)is charged to first-time visiting patients without a referral letter. You are also considered as a first-time visiting patient when you visit us without appointment and more than 6 months have passed since your last visit. Moreover, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department is classified under a different category, and thus, when visiting the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department and another Department at the same time, and for the first time, the sentei ryoyo fee applies separately to each department.
