Medical Insurance in Japan

I have medical insurance from my home country that I can use while living in Japan. To submit a claim, my insurance company requires an itemized billing statement from the doctor or hospital that includes:

  • Provider’s full name and medical title
  • Office address
  • Billing address
  • Phone number
  • Dates of treatment
  • The medical conditions or services I received care for

Has anyone gone through this process in Japan before? How would I go about requesting this from a Japanese clinic or hospital? Is there a specific document or Japanese term I should ask for?

Any advice would be appreciated.
