福井県立病院

What 福井県立病院 does

Fukui Prefectural Hospital (福井県立病院) is a public prefectural government hospital established in 1950 and operated by Fukui Prefecture, headquartered in Fukui City, Japan. It serves as the sole tertiary emergency medical center, prefectural cancer treatment coordination hub hospital, regional medical support hospital, and comprehensive perinatal/maternal medical center for Fukui Prefecture. The facility comprises 28+ clinical departments organized around eight specialized centers: Emergency Medical Center (24/7 North American-style ER; ~18,000 patients, 4,000 ambulances, 180 helicopter transports annually), Proton Therapy Cancer Treatment Center (5,900 sqm facility with PET/CT and MRI), Cancer Medical Center, Maternal and Child Medical Center (MFICU/NICU), Brain and Cardiovascular Center, Palliative Care Center, Mental Health Center, and Health Checkup Center.

The hospital's technology stack is built around capital-intensive clinical equipment rather than software: proton beam therapy with layered conformal irradiation and CT-based daily positioning, ROSA Hip robotic surgery (first in the prefecture), hybrid operating room with digital subtraction angiography, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and a DPC-based hospital information system supporting clinical indicators and PDCA quality management. The DPC institutional coefficient is 1.6240 (base 1.0583 + function evaluation I 0.3945 + function evaluation II 0.1481 + emergency correction 0.0231), reflecting above-average complexity and capability.

Revenue mechanics combine per-diem DPC inpatient billing under Japanese national health insurance, fee-for-service outpatient, advanced medical treatment fees for proton therapy (¥2.4-2.6M per patient), self-pay health examinations (¥19,550-51,150), palliative care ward daily charges (~¥50,510/day), childbirth packages (~¥520,000-530,000), second opinion fees, and operational subsidies from Fukui Prefecture. The hospital operates under a referral-driven go-to-market model anchored in regional medical cooperation networks with Fukui University Hospital, Fukui Red Cross Hospital, Fukui Saiseikai Hospital, and City Tsuruga Hospital, supplemented by satellite proton therapy consultation clinics.

Revenue model

1. DPC-Based Inpatient Medical Services (包括評価): As a DPC-registered hospital (since April 21, 2009), the hospital charges using the DPC (Diagnostic Procedure Combination) system — a per-diem flat-rate payment based on the patient's disease classification and severity. The hospital's institutional coefficient is 1.6240 (base 1.0583 + function evaluation I 0.3945 + function evaluation II 0.1481 + emergency correction 0.0231). Revenue is received from public health insurance (1-3% patient co-pay).
2. Health Examination and Medical Checkup Services (ドック・健診): Fee-for-service medical examinations including 1-day dock (47,300 JPY), corporate dock, brain dock, lung cancer dock, and lifestyle disease prevention examinations. These are self-pay (not covered by insurance). Health examination center generates revenue from both individual and corporate clients.
3. Advanced Medical Treatment (先進医療) - Proton Therapy: Proton therapy for non-public insurance covered conditions is classified as 'advanced medical treatment'. Treatment fees range from 2.4M JPY (≤20 sessions) to 2.6M JPY (≥26 sessions), paid by patients directly in advance. This is a significant revenue stream for patients traveling from outside Fukui Prefecture.
4. Outpatient Consultation Fees (外来診療): Outpatient services billed through the national health insurance system, including consultation fees, diagnostic procedures, medications, and treatments. Additional fees apply for patients without referral letters (非紹介患者受診加算).

6. Prefectural Government Subsidies (県からの補助): As a public prefectural hospital, Fukui Prefectural Hospital receives operational subsidies and donations from Fukui Prefecture to support its role as the prefectural core hospital providing advanced medical care.
7. Donations (寄附金): Accepts donations from individuals and organizations. Donations are used for medical equipment and facility improvements. Tax deduction benefits available for donations of 2,000 JPY or more.
