Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ？ is now and then ask the previous insurance company ？ if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it. Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.


Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.


Thank you both for your valuable stories. This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.

If they won't raise your salary anyway, just use the company. If they won't let you quit, that means you need them ！
Make money by pretending you're working by the hour.
What belongs to the company is mine.
If the pay is too small, make your money somewhere else.
Keep a good face to your superiors and you won't get fired.

I think the reason strange people come to you is because you can't say no
I used to get tired of putting on a good face to people I didn't like, but
If I don't like this person when I first meet them, I usually end up not liking them afterwards
I try to focus on people I feel good with. I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't leave early, it's a hassle to get involved with my friends and acquaintances

If I buy stocks, it's at my own risk.

Yes, that's right. It would be better if they did not start dating in the first place. It is true that such people do come close.

I try to focus on people I feel comfortable with and let go of people I don't like immediately
If I don't get away from them early, it will be troublesome after they get involved with my acquaintances and friends
You're right. You can bring a friend without a car from the beginning and they say it's close,

stock self-responsibility. But I trust people right away. Whether it's an acquaintance or a brokerage firm.
You're not sure of yourself, but I'll be careful.
I will cut ties with people like #111 as fast as I can. I will not even enter into a light relationship here.

People leave not only because they believe in you or not
there are many reasons

I have been finding it troublesome to hang out with people lately
it's not that I have any bad reasons
I honestly feel that I have no reason to hang out with them
I have left people I have been hanging out with due to inertia
I only spend time with people I enjoy

I don't enjoy casual conversations with people I enjoy
I think it's time to reset

I think it's time to reset.

I was able to spend my holidays slowly
I started to think about starting something new
I started to learn a lot
I got to know people who share the same values

I only share things I can share

At my age, no one fits everything
We only share the parts that fit each other

I feel very comfortable

So I have only a few friends that I can call friends
but I like them this much I've come to realize that I like it this way.

My parents are pilots and say they make 10 million yen a year, but they are always saying they have no money, no money.
I live in an apartment for about 300,000 yen a month, and honestly I think it would be cheaper to move home, which is very silly. I've lived here for about 10 years now, and if it's 300,000 yen a month, I thought, why not buy a house from the beginning?
The main question is whether 10 million yen a year is too much or not. Please.

This couple seems to be adjusting their income by saving the husband from his part-time pizza delivery job once the wife starts working full time.
I'm sure there are people out there who make a good living while on welfare. But this guy has been exposing all of that on video until now. No, it would be fine if they were earning their own money and living that way without relying on assistance. It's like he said he was going to live in a low income apartment for the rest of his life when he didn't. And then he makes the statement that he doesn't want to breathe the same air ！ as the people at Walmart.

If you give free medical care to such people, there will be more such people in Japan. There are already many foreigners of that kind. China, Korea, Philippines and others. In Japan, once you get that qualification, there seems to be no check in the middle of the process.
So many of them come to Japan only when they need to rewrite or something, and then live in their home country
and receive only benefits from Japan. Since they have no income in Japan
they are tax-exempt households. Of course, they automatically receive corona and other benefits.

The law is also unmanageable because it was made when the number of gaijin in Japan was still small.
It is sometimes discussed in the Diet, but the Japanese do not like to change laws and precedents, so
it has been a cheat. It would be better if the laws were amended or changed
in line with the current situation, as in the U.S.

There is a theory that the Japanese are trying to keep the welfare and medical budgets in the red in order to use it as an excuse to raise taxes.

I'm thinking of having a bottle of my favorite medicine sent from Japan
it's an over-the-counter medicine for allergies and I love it because it works, but I've run out of it
the shipping site seems to have a special mark and I can't seem to send it and Amazon in the US doesn't carry it
I'm thinking of asking a friend to send it to me in a small box. I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to have them sent in a small box
I'm thinking of asking a friend, but I'd like to find out as much as possible before I ask
It would be fine to have the pills sent in a ziplock without the bottle, but if anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Please let me know if you have any experience with this.

You should check if the medicine can be sent by mail.

some require a doctor's prescription, and

Even over-the-counter drugs commonly sold in Japan may not be approved by the U.S. FDA without checking the details of their ingredients. If a foreigner is staying in the U.S. for a short period of time, he/she may bring a 90-day supply of the drug into the U.S. ） even if it is not （ FDA-approved. The reference URL is as follows.
https://www.fda.gov/industry/import-basics/personal-importation#foreign
However, it is possible that the contents of the mail may be confiscated by customs just because it is a medicine. However, it is possible that the contents of the invoice will be confiscated at customs inspection. However, if it is a so-called supplements, it may be OK. I imported Taisho Kampo gastrointestinal medicine from Japan under the name of supplements.
Therefore, the following four methods are recommended.
1 ． Check the details of the ingredients of the medicine used in Japan （ You can usually find it on the internet. ） and look for over-the-counter drugs in the U.S. that contain those same ingredients.
2 ． If you can't find the same thing, try an over-the-counter drug in the US that contains the main ingredient of that drug.
3 ． Give the doctor details （ of the drug's ingredients in English ） and ask for a prescription for a drug with similar effects.
4 ． Try to import it from Japan under the name of supplements. （ The possibility of confiscation at customs will be great. ）
