Summary
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 144 of 2026, promulgated on 2026-09-30 with an effective date of 2026-10-01, adjusts ministry ordinances in connection with partial implementation of the Act Partially Amending the Medical Care Act and Other Acts. The listed amendment concerns the Ordinance Prescribing Matters to Be Included in the Operational Procedures for the Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund's Linked-Information Provision Operations (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 165 of 2021).
Business Impact
The Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund may need to account for changes to the required contents of its operational procedures for linked-information provision; this listed amendment concerns that specific activity rather than medical care generally.
Recommended Action
Review of the official Japanese text would help identify the amended operational-procedure requirements and any transitional provisions applicable from 2026-10-01.
