Summary
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 144 of 2026, promulgated on 2026-09-30 and effective on 2026-10-01, adjusts ministry ordinances in connection with partial implementation of an Act amending the Medical Care Act and other laws. It amends Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 145 of 2011, which specifies matters to be included in the operational rules for the Medical Information Infrastructure and Medical Fee Review and Payment Organization's work concerning payment of benefits to specified hepatitis B virus-infected persons.
Business Impact
The Medical Information Infrastructure and Medical Fee Review and Payment Organization may need to account for changes concerning its operational rules for specified hepatitis B benefit payment work. The identified amendment concerns this specific work, rather than healthcare providers generally.
Recommended Action
Reviewing the official Japanese amendment could clarify which operational-rule requirements change and whether any transitional provisions apply.
