My family’s health expenses last year were quite high due to unexpected surgery.
Last month I got a letter about the surgery cost being high so I could get a small reimbursement. (¥430, wow, thanks).
Anyway so now I’m doing the kakutei shinkoku online.
You mentioned about having myna linked making it easier.
What do I need to do? Any guides anywhere to help me through the process?
Thanks in advance.

I just tried for 40 minutes to even get to the part in the guide that was right at the beginning to start entering income etc. but I couldn’t. The website kept requesting to log in through Mynaportal app. And every page it would request to log in again. Then because I’d logged in too many times it just timed me out and told me to try again later.
Doing it manually didn’t help either as the guide wasn’t accurate to what was on the forms and Google translate was not helpful.
How hard is it to
1. design a simple website
2. Know how much tax I’ve paid and how much healthcare I’ve paid and get the government to figure it out automatically.

◆How to use a smartphone

Install the Mynaportal app
Launch the app and tap "Application for Health Insurance Card"
Check “Mynaportal Terms of Use” and tap “Agree and proceed”
Read your My Number card using your smartphone
Enter the PIN number (4-digit number) for the electronic certificate for user certification.

◆How to use a computer

Access the Mynaportal website
Click "Apply for use" on the page
Check the “Mynaportal Terms of Use” and click “Agree and proceed”
Insert your My Number card into the IC card reader and click "Apply"
Enter the PIN number (4-digit number) for the electronic certificate for user certification.

Once you have completed registering your Myna Insurance Card, you will be able to check your medical expense information on Myna Portal. This is because Mynaportal is linked with the National Tax Agency's electronic filing and tax payment system " e-Tax ."

On Mynaportal, you can view and obtain monthly medical insurance medical expense notification information from September 2021 onwards. You can also view medical expense notification information from medical institutions and pharmacies that do not support Myna Health Insurance Cards. Please keep in mind that you will be able to view medical expense notification information from the 11th of the month following the month in which you visited a medical institution.
