National Health Insurance card that will　be updated from April in 2012 will be changed to card type, made from paper, one for each family member.
It will be usable in families separately at the same time, for a trip or the office.
It is also convenient to put it in wallets because of the same size as bankcards.
The new card is sent to family nurturer for all the members by simple registered mail by the end of March.
If you do not get it by 31st of March, please call Hoken-Nenkin-ka (insurance and annuity division)
