When a medical corporation opens a new clinic (hospital), it is called a branch hospital, and at Support Administrative Scrivener Corporation, we act on behalf of medical corporations in applying for branch clinics.

We begin with the procedure to add a new clinic to the medical corporation's articles of incorporation (or donation in the case of a foundation), and then proceed with the procedures with the public health center and welfare bureau.
In order to apply for a branch hospital, it is necessary to proceed with each step of the procedure with a sense of schedule.

Necessary procedures for opening a new clinic (hospital)

In order to open a branch hospital, it is necessary to go through various procedures in addition to the public health center, and if the timing is wrong, it can be difficult.

If you wish to receive insurance treatment at a general clinic, you will need to follow the following procedures:

Key points for branch hospital application

Schedule until clinic opening

When opening a branch hospital, schedules are often set around securing personnel such as doctors and staff, and interior construction work, but it is also extremely important to incorporate applications to administrative agencies into the schedule up to the opening of the hospital.

It is easy to end up paying rent unnecessarily because you make a schedule without taking into account the application period to the administrative agency.

Generally, the period required to apply to the administrative agency is as follows.
(Please note that this varies depending on the administrative agency.)

Procedures for medical corporations based on the Medical Care Act

In order to establish a branch hospital, it is necessary to change the articles of incorporation and donation acts to the prefecture, but at this time we will check to see if the application based on the Medical Care Act has been properly made.

The following procedures are required as routine procedures at medical corporations.
You will need to reconfirm that your application has been completed without any omissions.

・Notification of changes in appointment, resignation, retirement, and re-appointment of directors, auditors, etc.

・Business report, etc. submission form

・Notification of changes to articles of incorporation, etc.

Management status of medical corporations

The timing of changes to the articles of incorporation and donation acts can be said to be the timing of major changes in the management of a medical corporation.

Prefectures that have jurisdiction over medical corporations will also examine the business and operational status of medical corporations when applying for this change of approval.

There are various points of view when it comes to screening, but

・Is there any accounting treatment that corresponds to the provision of profits to directors and councilors?

・Are you falling into excessive debt?

・Is there a problem with the public interest of the medical corporation?

You need to prepare your response in advance.
