What to know
- Maternity waiting periods on international plans are long. Add maternity coverage as soon as you begin planning a pregnancy.
- Packages are itemized. Epidural, extra nights, and NICU care are usually billed in addition to the published package price.
- Some families have prenatal visits at a UFH clinic closer to home and deliver at the Lido hospital.
- Reported package prices are about ¥66,000 for a natural birth and ¥88,000 for a C-section, with about ¥19,500 for prenatal care. Parents report that extras often take the total well above the package.
- United Family’s published fee schedule lists newborn intensive care at ¥9,660 for the first day and ¥5,250 for each day after.
An English-speaking doctor
This site does not list named obstetricians. Rosters change. Ask the international or special-needs desk for the current English-speaking attending list, then meet two doctors before you buy a package. At United Family and OASIS, doctor profiles are on the hospital site. See the translator guide if you will use a public ward.
Best for Families with maternity insurance or sufficient savings who want English-speaking staff and a partner in the room.
