Health Insurance
In addition to your own health insurance, KCP provides students with minor medical and accident coverage.
KCP’s minor medical insurance begins the day after arrival in Japan and continues through the last day of the program. However, KCP coverage is a supplemental or “top up” policy of health insurance for study abroad in Japan. You must be covered by another insurance policy while in Japan or while on any independent travel excursion. It is your responsibility to secure additional coverage before departing for Japan.
The KCP coverage is offered to students entering on a tourist visa or one term study only.
The KCP health insurance covers:
| Death by injury | ¥2,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Residual disability | ¥2,000,000 |
| Death by sickness | ¥2,000,000 |
| Medical treatment cost per case | ¥500,000 |
| Reparation liability per case | ¥30,000,000 |
| Coverage is subject to change without notice. | |
