Requests and precautions regarding the confirmation of the target person
When providing information based on the “Guidelines for Provision of Medical Information”, we place great importance on protecting the privacy of patients.

It is not included. And we handle it with extreme caution so that false medical information is not provided. In particular, since there is no tolerance for “confirming the target”, we handle it strictly.
Therefore, if you are requesting medical information provision during a period other than during the medical examination, be sure to bring the following to confirm the target person.


Certificate (identification card, license etc.) that can confirm the person
In addition to the above, the agent designated by the patient himself / herself is a certificate (insurance card, etc.) that shows the relationship with the patient.
In the case of an application by the patient himself/herself, as a general rule, we will inform you of our review results in a written response within two weeks after receiving the application.
However, in the case of a request from someone other than the patient, please note that there may be a slight delay from the time the application is received until the response to the screening results is processed in order to confirm that the person is eligible.
In addition, information cannot be provided if it cannot be confirmed that the patient is a target for providing medical information or if it is unclear.

In addition, since it is the duty of the staff to provide a clear and easy explanation, please do not hesitate to ask the staff in charge, such as a doctor in charge, if you have any questions.
