Thirty percent of the bill
Japan has universal health insurance, and the patient pays thirty percent of the listed price of whatever is done, with the rest covered by the scheme. Prices are set nationally, so the same procedure costs the same everywhere. The practical advice is to start at a small local clinic rather than a hospital: large hospitals charge an extra fee if you arrive without a referral, precisely to keep them for the cases that need them. Bring your insurance card to every visit.
