From December 2, 2024, the health insurance card will be based on the Minor Health Insurance Card. For this reason, Digital Agency will implement a "How to Receive Medical Care in the Future" introduction campaign at drugstores and dispensing pharmacies nationwide, introducing how to receive medical care using the Minor Health Insurance Card and a certificate of eligibility.

Campaign Content

In this campaign, we will convey information that we want people to know more about, along with the benefits of the Minor Insurance Card, focusing on the following points.

  1. With the support of pharmacists and store clerks, you can safely register to use My Number Card as a health insurance card with the face-recognition card reader of nearby drugstores and dispensing pharmacies nationwide.
  2. You can continue to use your current health insurance card for up to a year.
  3. For those who do not have a Maina Health Insurance Card, a confirmation of eligibility will be submitted by the insurer without issue.
  4. Even if you are unable to use your Maina Health Insurance Card, you will not have to pay one hundred percent of your medical expenses if you bring your My Number Card with you.

Specifically, we will set up a wagon with a small monitor and a leaflet case in the waiting area of drugstores and dispensing pharmacies, and make people aware of the advantages of the Minor Insurance Card through signage and the fact that they can register for the use of the Minor Insurance Card on the spot with a card reader with facial recognition. We will also distribute leaflets explaining the safety of the Minor Insurance Card and the "Qualification Confirmation Letter."

In addition, this campaign encourages customers to use and experience the Maina Health Insurance Card with the cooperation of pharmacists and store clerks at drugstores and dispensing pharmacies, and supports the registration of use of the Maina Health Insurance Card by introducing that customers who bring their My Number Card can register for use on the spot with a card reader with facial recognition.
In addition, those who use, register, and experience the Minor Insurance Card will receive Maina-chan goods.
