How long does it take to come?

Is it after the first pay?

You need to get your ARC card first, then someone from your school will take your ARC card to the National Health Insurance comp. And after they do that, you should have the card within a week. I am led to believe that you start paying into it, as soon as you have your E2 visa, so you are covered if you have it. You will have to pay more at the doctor's office, but keep the receipt, and you can get re-imbursed after you get your card.

I got my medical booklet thing.

Is that all you get? Do i have to take that to the doctors? Or do I get anything else to take with me?

Yes you have to take it to the Doctors and yes you have to show them.. even if you go back to the same place.. same with the pharmacy.. They will charge you the extra money if you dont show them your booklet.. Well that is what happened to me anyways..

No, its jsut that little booklet thing. If you don't have it with you, they can use your ARC card number to look you up.
