Outstanding health insurance slips when leaving Japan?

In June, I receive 10 health insurance slips which I pay regularly over the following months of June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March and April. Each one is 31500 yen each. I was wondering if I leave the country on, say, December 29, do I have to pay the outstanding slips of Jan, Feb, Mar and April? I'm not sure how the calculations are made, so I would appreciate it if a knowledgeable someone could break it down. I am guessing I would have to pay them, but not sure.

How would the calculations be different if I left in mid November or any other month earlier in the year?

Thank you for your help.

  1. You would need to pay for insurance up until the month/time you left the country. (This differs from, say, resident tax, where you need to pay the remaining balance, but the same as pension)
