Shimane University Hospital
About
Shimane University Hospital, located in Enya-cho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, is a designated advanced treatment hospital operated by a national university corporation, offering highly specialized medical care including hematology. The hospital accepts new patients from 8:30 to 11:00 a.m., and a referral letter from a primary care physician is generally required. Patients without a referral will be charged an additional out-of-pocket fee of 7,700 yen on top of regular medical costs, so it is strongly recommended to obtain a referral in advance. The hospital is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period (December 29 to January 3). In terms of payment, the hospital accepts cash as well as major credit and debit cards including JCB, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, and Discover. A deferred medical payment credit service is also available, allowing patients to leave after their appointment without waiting at the billing counter. The facility is fully accessible for patients with disabilities and offers on-site parking. The hospital is also equipped to provide services in multiple languages, including English and Korean, creating a welcoming environment for a diverse range of patients. As a core medical institution in the region, it has established a comprehensive system that excels in both advanced specialized care and patient convenience.
