The other 30% isn't significant. The only thing you might run into is hospital fees (if you go to a hospital without a referral, you have to pay a fee that is usually a lot more expensive - around 6,000 yen or so).

Also, the list posted above isn't entirely correct. Overseas treatments are covered, but only reimbursed for the amount they would be in Japan (and only if an "emergency" - you can't go overseas for treatment).

lenoreelux, it was Glenski that seklarwia was asking if he'd missed the joke deliberately. He usually gives very good advice here, but in this case he seems fixed on the idea that everything you are asking is related to childbirth, unless he's trying to make a joke himself, which is not really clear...

Sorry. Jokes do not translate well in written text. I used to have lots of humor and sarcasm in my posts, but I stopped doing that when it got too confusing for everyone.

Carry on.
