Inpatient

Hospitalization Fees & Payments
  1. Calculation Method

    Oita University Hospital uses a "Flat-fee System" (DPC/PDPS) to calculate hospitalization costs.

    Note: This applies to all departments except Dentistry and the Psychiatric Ward.

    If you would like more details, please ask at the Inpatient Admission desk.

  2. Changes in Medical Costs

    Your billing amount may change if your diagnosis or treatment plan changes during your stay.

    If this happens, we will adjust the difference in your monthly bill or at the time of discharge.

  3. Billing Schedule

    Monthly Billing: Costs from the 1st to the last day of the month will be calculated and notified around the 11th of the following month.

    Discharge Billing: You will be notified of your total amount by the time you leave the hospital.

  4. How Days are Counted

    In accordance with Health Insurance regulations, hospital days are counted starting from 12:00 AM (midnight). This differs from standard hotel stays. For example, staying overnight is counted as two days.
