Private School Mutual Aid System >Short-Term Benefits from the Age of 75 Short-Term Benefits from the Age of 75
 The Medical System for the Old Elderly will start in April 1, 2008. Those who are 75 and older, residing in the districts of the extended association (insurer) that is to be established in each prefecture, will be the insured persons for the Medical System for the Old Elderly.
For this reason, the members who are 75 years and older are exempted from the application of the Short-Term Benefits of the Private School Association, and become insured by the Medical System for the Old Elderly.
With the exemption of the members who are 75 and older from the application of the short-term benefits, their dependents will also be exempted from the application of the short-term benefits. Such individuals must enroll in National Health Insurance themselves.
Once the dependents reach the age 75, they will also be insured by the Medical System for the Old Elderly.
Note 1: The Medical System for the Old Elderly begins to apply on the 75th birthday.
Note 2: Once members or dependents become insured by the Medical System for the Old Elderly, they will be exempted from the application of the Private School Mutual Aid System. Thus, they will not be able to receive medical treatment with the Private School Association's insurance card, starting from the date of exemption.

In this case, the Private School Association also notifies about the cancellation of the dependent status of Dependent A to the respective school in early April.
Note that even if the member or his or her dependent is 65 years old or above and under 75 years old, is recognized as being in a disabled state by the extended association, and becomes insured under the Medical System for the Old Elderly, he or she will be exempted from the application of the Short-Term Benefits of the Private School Mutual Aid System.
