    Patients without a referral letter are charged a first-time visit fee.

    Shiga University of Medical Science Hospital is designated as an advanced treatment hospital.
    Advanced treatment hospitals are institutions regulated under the Medical Care Act and tasked to provide advanced medical care to patients referred by other medical institutions in the region or patients in the acute phase of illness.

    • We prioritize hospital referrals. Wait times for patients without a referral letter from another hospital may be longer.
    • Patients without a referral letter are charged a Sentei Ryoyohi (fee for initial visit) of ¥11,000 in addition to any other medical consultation fees. (Medical and dental treatment are considered separately under the Health Insurance Act. Therefore, if you visit both, you will be charged ¥11,000 for each.)
    • As a university hospital, we are designed to contribute to the local healthcare system, while sharing roles and functions and cooperating with primary and specialized hospitals and clinics in the region. Our specific role is to provide care to patients who require advanced medical treatment or who are in the acute phase of illness. Patients recovering from surgical procedures and patients being seen at this facility specifically for supervised administration of drug therapy are expected to return to their primary hospital or clinic near their home for continuing care.
