If you are ill, injured, or need consultation regarding physical exams, vaccinations, medicine, or finding healthcare facilities, please call the WellBe Alarm Center. Our services are available 24/7/365 in Japanese. We coordinate with WellBe's network of healthcare facilities, including general hospitals, specialized hospitals, and clinics.
If you are in an area with resident medical support staff, one of our team members will come to the healthcare facility to provide assistance, including medical interpretation, even in emergency situations. (Designated caregivers are not included in this service.)
If you are in an area without resident medical support staff, we will dispatch our staff from the nearest location based on the severity of your illness or injury. (Expenses for transportation and accommodation are not included.)
We refer you to an interpreter when you visit a healthcare facility.
If you have eligible insurance covered by WellBe, we facilitate a cashless service for illnesses or injuries included in your coverage. You will not need to pay at the time of treatment, as we will handle the payment on your behalf and submit a claim to your insurer.
This cashless service is limited to facilities affiliated with or in-network with WellBe.
