I heard that most of the insurance policies available in the U.S. allow you to pay the full cost of the insurance once you apply for it,
and then pay the fee that will cover you later.

I heard that there is an insurance in Japan that can cover the co-payment
If you have such an insurance, please let me know.

If so, then the insurance coverage varies from policy to policy, but it does not mean that you have to pay the full amount of your own insurance.
Full co-pay is for people who do not have insurance, for example.
There are usually three types of insurance, ( a doctor ) who is like the first clinic you see when you decide on a family doctor,
ophthalmology, and dentistry, so if you are living here, which one is the insurance you want to buy?
And by insurance that you can get in Japan, do you mean travel insurance or something like that ?
( Travel insurance had a duration or something, right? )
I don't know what you want to use the insurance for, so I think it is difficult to answer your question
if you don't have a clear idea of what you intend to use the insurance for.

You say "enrolled in the US," but the insurance situation is quite different between Hawaii and the mainland US, so I don't think we can have a blanket discussion about the US.
I have HMSA's Medicare Advantage ™ (PPO ™) insurance here in Hawaii, but usually a family doctor, specialist, or even a dentist will see you first and send you a bill afterwards that takes your insurance coverage into consideration. Lab tests ( X - Ray or blood tests ) also get billed later. As far as I know, the only people who have to pay the full amount out-of-pocket at the time of the medical exam are those who do not have insurance here, as Halo mentioned.
For travelers from Japan who have travel insurance when they leave Japan, I think it is common for them to pay the full amount here at one time and receive payment for the portion covered by their insurance after they return home. However, there are some travel abroad insurance policies that sell "cashless ・ medical services," so in the case of such policies, you will not have to pay the co-payment.

> Halo and SJDummy

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I understand now. I am relieved to know that my employer will provide HMSA insurance and I will be charged the amount after the insurance coverage.
I was suddenly concerned when I heard someone say that even if you have HMSA or other insurance provided by the company, you have to pay the full amount once you get it. If that is not the case, I am relieved. Thank you for your response.

I think it would be better to ask directly to some banks in the U.S. directly. This is safer than relying on unclear word of mouth or information from personal blogs or websites whose credibility is not known. In some cases, if you are suspected of money laundering or other crimes, it could be quite troublesome later on.

There seems to be no way to open an ) account while in Japan without coming ( there. However, the following three banks in Hawaii seem to allow Japanese residents to open an account by visiting their branches in Hawaii. Please refer to the following article.

Anyone who is renting real estate 、 or in the profession?
I am wondering if I should sell or rent my condo.
If I rent 、 is the amount I pay to the realtor monthly ? or only at the time of contract ?
Thank you very much.

It depends on whether it is short term or long term, as well as negotiations with the real estate company, but I think 10% ~ 20% of the monthly rent is typical if you ask for property management. Ours is 10% for a lease of six months or more, but I think 20% is more common for vaqueroan management. In Hawaii, if you live out of state ( including returning to Japan ), you need to manage your property with a management company in Hawaii, but if you manage it yourself, you do not need to pay monthly property management fees. If you manage your own property, you do not need to pay monthly property management fees. When you add tenants, you will need to pay a one-time tenant introduction fee, but in many cases, you do not need to go through a real estate agency if you manage your own property. If you manage the property yourself, you will be responsible for any eviction, so there is a higher risk involved. Also, if you rent the property, the tax rate will change, GET will be charged, and HOA will also affect your profit margin.

From this October, "invoice system" for sole proprietors will be started in Japan.

Up until now, we have not been subject to Japanese consumption tax because we are sole traders and our clients are individuals, but
I wonder if it is possible that our clients will request an invoice from us in the future.

I am a beginner who wants to buy virtual currency.
I heard that currently there are only a few exchanges that Hawaii residents can use.
If you are a virtual currency user, which exchanges do you use to buy and sell virtual currency ?
Please let me know which exchanges and wallets you use.

I am new to electric toothbrushes ♪
So, I have a question for all of you who always have white teeth.

What brand of electric toothbrush do you recommend?
I will be returning to Japan temporarily soon, so I would be more than happy to buy a brand that I can buy in Japan to take advantage of the weak yen ♪
I would like a replacement attachment that I can buy in Hawaii ♪.

I think the Braun Oral-B is the only choice.
The last few versions are compatible with foreign voltages and have many attachments.
I plan to replace mine next year, but it is a great series.

I have a prescription from a doctor in Japan for an injection called Dupixent, which is effective for atopic dermatitis.
If there are any Hawaii residents who have received the same prescription, which hospital, with which insurance, and for how much

I would love to hear about your experiences and stories.

A friend of mine uses Dupixent and I asked him about it and he said he gets it prescribed by a dermatologist named Dr. Ryan Sato. He said his friend's insurance is HMSA. He said that without insurance it would cost him $1,000 a bottle, and that he has a friend who has Kiser insurance and gets his prescriptions from other doctors. Sorry I don't know the details as it is not my own, but I hope I can be of some help.

Thanks for the useful information. I am just glad to know the fact that I can actually get it in Hawaii.
Thank you for even telling us what type of insurance you have. I was really wondering how to get it after I come to the US, since it is a special medicine that is not yet recognized.
I will use this as a reference.

My son used them until last year.
Both hospital and insurance are Kaiser.
They won't give you ointment or drink medicine without test results that don't work, so if you are still in Japan and it is possible,
I think it would go smoothly if you get your current certificates and test results from your doctor.

The cost is about $ 700 for 3 months of one injection every 2 weeks, self-injection.
The reason I stopped was because my son got married and was told that it could affect his children if he continued.
I have now changed to UV treatment.

I myself have been in Hawaii for 30 years, but
in Japan, it was so bad that I got Zurumuke.
but in Hawaii, I feel better
because of the climate, humidity and clean air.
But my son was fine as a child, but it started to get worse when he was in high school.

Dupixent was developed in the U.S., so I think you can get a prescription from a dermatologist.
But it is expensive.

Thank you for your valuable experience. I will try to prepare the certificate of prescription in Japan. I often hear that symptoms improve under Hawaiian environment.
I hope it will be the same for me ・ ・ ・.
For 3 months' worth $ 700, certainly not cheap.
I will be happy to help.
