💡 Taiwan's healthcare is excellent and affordable even without insurance. An ER visit is typically NT$500–2,000 (~$15–60 USD). Bring your passport. Most major hospitals have international patient departments with English-speaking staff.
💡 Keep a photo of your insurance card on your phone. Most policies require you to call before seeking treatment for non-emergencies. Note the coverage window is the Japan leg only — confirm what (if anything) covers the Taiwan dates separately.

💡 English-speaking staff is less reliable outside Sapporo proper — in Hakodate, lead with #7119-style triage where possible, or have the front desk at OMO5 call ahead for you.
