Supplementary Provisions, Article 5
第五条
A hospital or clinic that, on the Effective Date, is actually approved as a specially approved medical institution providing services covered by health insurance pursuant to the provisions of Article 86, paragraph (1), item (i) of the Health Insurance Act before the amendment by the provisions of Article 1 is deemed to have received the designation referred to in Article 63, paragraph (3), item (i) of the Health Insurance Act on the Effective Date; provided, however, that this does not apply if its establisher has notified otherwise, as specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, by the day before the Effective Date.
施行日において現に第一条の規定による改正前の健康保険法第八十六条第一項第一号の規定により特定承認保険医療機関の承認を受けている病院又は診療所は、施行日に、健康保険法第六十三条第三項第一号の指定を受けたものとみなす。ただし、当該開設者が施行日の前日までに、厚生労働省令で定めるところにより別段の申出をしたときは、この限りでない。
With regard to a hospital or clinic deemed to have received designation pursuant to the provisions of the main clause of the preceding paragraph, notwithstanding Article 68, paragraph (1) of the Health Insurance Act, the period during which the designation is effective is to be the same as the period remaining on the Effective Date of the period during which the approval was to be effective for that hospital or clinic pursuant to Article 68, paragraph (1) of that Act as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 86, paragraph (12) of the Health Insurance Act before the amendment by the provisions of Article 1.
前項本文の規定により指定を受けたものとみなされた病院又は診療所に係る当該指定の効力を有する期間は、健康保険法第六十八条第一項の規定にかかわらず、その病院又は診療所について第一条の規定による改正前の健康保険法第八十六条第十二項において準用する同法第六十八条第一項の規定により承認の効力を有するとされた期間の施行日における残存期間と同一の期間とする。
