Purchase and Repair of Prostheses

更新日:2020年11月09日

Depending on the type of disability, you can purchase and repair prostheses to improve functions in your daily life, work, and school.

Self-payment for purchase or repair will be around 10% of the total cost. The maximum monthly burden is set according to the income situation of the household, but tax-exempt households do not have to pay the self-payment fee.

However, for those who are eligible for long-term care insurance, the long-term care insurance system will be given priority depending on the kind of the prosthetic device.

Kinds of Prosthetic Devices

Those with Visual Impairments

Seeing-Eye cane (White Cane), corrective glasses, shading glasses, artificial eyes, etc.

Those with Hearing Impairments

Hearing Aids

Those with Physical Handicaps

Prosthetic hands/legs, lower limb or upper limb orthosis, wheelchairs, walkers, communication devices, walking aids (canes, etc.), sitting support devices, etc.
