Further simplification of certificates to be issued to COVID-19 patients staying at designated facilities or at home

　On May 15, 2020, the FSA issued a notice to insurance companies to request them to simplify clerical procedures in response to claims for insurance benefits for hospitalization filed by insurance policyholders for their medical care at designated facilities or at home, such as making payments based on certificates in a simplified form.
 
This time, the Ministry of Heath, Labour and Welfare issued an administrative circular on further simplification of certificates.
