Summary
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 144 of 2026 adjusts ministry ordinances in connection with partial implementation of the Act Partially Amending the Medical Care Act and Other Acts. This entry identifies an amendment to the Ordinance on Calculation of Insurers' Early-Stage Elderly Grants and Other Amounts under the Act on Assurance of Medical Care for Elderly People (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 140 of 2007), with promulgation on 2026-09-30 and an effective date of 2026-10-01.
Business Impact
Insurers covered by the Act on Assurance of Medical Care for Elderly People may be affected through changes to rules for calculating early-stage elderly grants and related amounts; this entry concerns those calculation rules rather than medical care providers generally.
Recommended Action
Reviewing the official Japanese amendment and amended ordinance would help establish which calculation provisions changed and whether transitional rules apply.
