The pros and cons of making the “My Number Health Insurance Card” mandatory are being contested in court. A total of 1,415 doctors, dentists and others are suing the government, claiming that it is illegal for medical institutions to be required to conduct “online eligibility verification” via My Number cards, in connection with the general transition from health insurance cards to “My Number Health Insurance Cards.” Doctors say that the burden on the medical field is so great that it has forced them to file lawsuits, and that a growing number of doctors are considering going out of practice. Voices from the field warning of the potential collapse of the medical system due to the “My Number Health Insurance Card.” Since its introduction, the “My Number Health Insurance Card” has caused confusion in the medical field. We spoke to Dr. Atsuta Eimasa, director of Atsuta Dental Clinic, who continues to work in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, an area struggling with aging and population decline, about the current situation. ■ No use of My Number health insurance cards…but still paying the “maintenance and inspection fee”
[Atsuta Dental Clinic, Dentist Atsuta Eimasa]
We have a lot of elderly patients, so no one has ever brought their My Number health insurance card. As far as I know, no one has a My Number health insurance card. However, you still have to continue paying a maintenance fee every month for a card reader that you don’t use. In the first place, online qualification verification was introduced in a semi-threatening manner by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, which said, “If you don’t do this, we won’t let you be an insured doctor.” It would be a big problem if we couldn’t get insurance coverage. That was a big deal. In the end, we were forced to introduce it in an atmosphere that it had to be done at all costs. Even if they have the medical skills, some doctors quit because they’re “not good with computers”
Even though subsidies are available for the introduction of a system for My Number Health Insurance Cards, applying for them is a struggle. I called the front desk but couldn’t get through at all. This is probably because the government tried to do it in a short period of time. Once they’re connected, they’ll ask you to print out the instruction manual, but people who aren’t good with computers won’t understand what they’re being told. There are quite a few older teachers who are thinking of taking this opportunity to quit. However, there are no problems with the clinical skills of doctors who have quit or are thinking about quitting. Even if you’re not good with computers, it doesn’t affect your medical skills. Why should our colleagues have to give up just so the government can do what they want? I also feel sorry for the patients who rely on him. I want people to know that there are many doctors who have left practice because they felt frustrated. (Source below.

I think you should hire a secretary or get hired by someone.

I’m also really bad with machines so I understand how you feel.
4Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:16:16.59ID:gsjVWUXk0
Does your PC have a manual? Even if there is, I don’t read it. Just click.
6Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:17:13.94ID:dDDgHb8b0
No, at that level it would make the patients more anxious.
7Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:18:05.56ID:vVWmVnvi0
Don’t touch medical equipment.
8Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:18:09.46ID:5UncQBhm0
Are all the receptionists bad with machines?
9Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:18:13.21ID:02UXaDVw0
If you’re not good with computers, you can’t keep up with advanced medical treatments. Electronic medical records are now the norm. Doctors who are stuck on outdated knowledge should leave the field.

Has anyone gained any knowledge during this Coronavirus pandemic?
14Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:19:01.12ID:bdqSLZ9P0
There are enough private practitioners, so it won’t be a problem if they disappear.
15Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:19:12.20ID:7mZntgrv0
Computers these days don’t come with manuals.
I think there were when I used FMV.
I don’t think Macs (OS9 era) ever had them…

The number of doctors in rural areas is decreasing, this is serious.

Older dentists are scary.

This is old harm.

Wow, doctors are stupid.

There are a lot of idiots
Especially dentists.
20Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:20:13.27ID:yA2HCUv50
Wouldn’t it be better to fire these people and bring in decent doctors from overseas?
Considering medical costs, it’ll be no problem.
22Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:20:30.33ID:J4+ucQB90
Use it in Kanji Talk too.

The doctors are simply too incompetent.
25Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:20:57.79ID:kw6JwJda0
Old Macs had pictures that explained it like this: Plug it in → Turn it on. That’s it.
27Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:21:04.14ID:a/DwjP7c0
It’s been over 10 years since electronic receipts became mandatory, so why is this being brought up now?
28Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:21:17.59ID:FDEkER8e0
The My Number Health Insurance Card is truly useful as it has the function of weeding out incompetent doctors.
29Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:21:21.10ID:8Tvl55Mj0
I don’t want to see a doctor like that.
30Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:21:40.26ID:CJE6OXnh0
I’d be more scared if someone would use their intelligence to tamper with me or prescribe me drugs. Please do an IQ test every 10 years.
31Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:21:43.32ID:+LXHsvSQ0
We don’t need old men like that, they should go out of business.

Neurosurgery is useless without a high-performance MRI. The equipment is the key.
33Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:22:02.50ID:JfpKqWu10
I don’t think you can become a doctor unless you’re brainy enough to use a computer.
34Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:22:13.25ID:R/GES+Cs0
If you don’t understand, hire a medical secretary. It seems like you haven’t even read the GL for your specialty.
36Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:22:47.29ID:/mke+nRR0
Then just withdraw from the health care system.
37Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:22:48.09ID:6bobFZN40
You have a fair amount of money, so why not just hire someone?
40Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:23:01.38ID:6ii5J5/L0
I don’t know how to use a smartphone either, so a flip phone would be better.
41Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:23:02.26ID:RvKXvDXX0
Shouldn’t a doctor have a mind that is able to readily accept new things?
This isn’t a matter of specialist level, since anyone can use a computer.

Let me just say that the hassle of using a receipt computer has nothing to do with your computer skills.
42Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:23:10.67ID:nuZcAflA0
There are some doctors who are a little bit stupid too. If you can’t get into a private medical school in Japan, you can buy a diploma from a Korean medical school, become a doctor, and then apply for an additional Japanese license!

There are many areas where it would be a problem if they disappeared. There are plenty of hospitals in the city. This is the only one in the countryside! Or something like that.
45Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 22, 2024 (Sun) 20:23:18.56ID:W7MV+cmq0
Are you practicing medicine with incredibly old knowledge and outdated equipment? Stop it now.

Highly educated old men need computers, so doctors are weird.
