Our Role in Your Medical Journey
Japan Medical provides administrative, informational, and coordination support for international patients communicating with independent healthcare providers in Japan. We are not part of your treating medical team.
What We Can Help With
Administrative support that keeps roles clear
Provider communication
Help communicate a patient’s inquiry to an appropriate medical institution based on the service requested.
Appointment requests
Coordinate appointment requests and scheduling information, subject to provider acceptance and availability.
Records preparation
Organize medical records and transmit relevant documents when the patient authorizes us to do so.
Translation coordination
Arrange or support translation and interpretation needed for administrative communication.
Practical planning
Provide non-clinical information about timing, documents, estimated provider costs, and practical travel considerations.
What We Cannot Do
We do not replace a qualified clinician
We do not diagnose diseases or medical conditions.
We do not provide patients with independent interpretation of laboratory, imaging, pathology, or genetic results.
We do not prescribe medication or direct patients to begin, stop, or change a medical treatment.
We do not determine dose, cell number, treatment frequency, treatment protocol, or other clinical parameters.
We do not predict whether a treatment will work for a particular patient or guarantee any result.
We do not provide urgent or emergency medical assistance.
Treatment Eligibility
An inquiry is not acceptance
Preliminary contact
Receiving general information or discussing a possible service with Japan Medical does not mean a patient has been accepted for treatment.
Provider review
Where clinical assessment is required, eligibility is determined by the relevant physician or medical institution after reviewing the information it considers necessary.
Further evaluation
The provider may request additional records, testing, an in-person consultation, or may decide that the requested treatment should not proceed.
Independent Medical Providers
Clinical responsibility stays with the provider
Costs and Estimates
An estimate can change
Provider charges
Treatment, examination, hospitalization, medication, laboratory, imaging, and other clinical charges are determined by the relevant provider unless expressly stated otherwise.
Additional care
The final amount may change after examination if further testing, medication, hospitalization, follow-up, or another service is required.
Coordination fees
Any separate fee charged by Japan Medical for coordination, translation, administrative support, or another non-medical service should be identified separately where applicable.
Your Existing Doctor Still Matters
Do not interrupt necessary care without advice
Patients considering treatment abroad should discuss important medical decisions with their existing doctor or another qualified healthcare professional who understands their medical history whenever appropriate.
Traveling abroad for treatment should not be used as a reason to delay or stop necessary conventional care without appropriate medical advice.
If you experience a medical emergency, contact the emergency services or an appropriate medical facility where you are currently located. Do not wait for a response through Japan Medical’s website, WhatsApp, or LINE.
