The amount of young-old payments to be collected from each Insurer pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is to be the estimated amount of young-old payments for the relevant fiscal year; provided, however, that when the estimated amount of young-old payments for the fiscal year before the previous fiscal year exceeds the fixed amount of young-old payments for that fiscal year, it is to be the amount obtained by deducting from the estimated amount of young-old payments for the relevant fiscal year the sum total of the excess amount and the young-old payment adjustment amount pertaining to the excess amount, and when the estimated amount of young-old payments for the fiscal year before the previous fiscal year is less than the fixed amount of young-old payments for that fiscal year, it is to be the amount obtained by adding to the estimated amount of young-old payments for the relevant fiscal year the sum total of the shortfall and the young-old payment adjustment amount pertaining to the shortfall.
The Young-Old Payment Adjustment Amount prescribed in the preceding paragraph is the amount calculated for each of the Insurers pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare by taking into consideration the interest arising from the excess or deficiency between the estimated Young-Old Payments and the fixed Young-Old Payments pertaining to all of the Insurers in the fiscal year before the previous fiscal year and other circumstances.
