Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a medical expense information output device, a medical expense information output system, a medical expense information output method, and a medical expense information output program. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to receive medical expense deductions, applicants must attach a medical expense deduction statement to their income tax return. Applicants create a medical expense deduction statement by referencing medical expense receipts. The medical expense deduction statement includes the amount of medical expenses paid and the name of the payee.

[0003] In recent years, it has become possible to obtain medical insurance medical expense notification information from My Number Portal. Applicants can use the medical expense notification information obtained from My Number Portal when filing their tax returns via e-Tax.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique related to facilitating the creation of a statement for medical expense deductions.

[0005] On the other hand, there is a special exception to the medical expense deduction called the self-medication tax system. Under this system, the purchase costs of products that are subject to the self-medication tax system are eligible for income deductions. Products that are subject to the self-medication tax system include switch OTC (over-the-counter) medicines, and specific items that are subject to the system are specified.

[0006] To qualify for the self-medication tax system, applicants must attach a self-medication tax system statement to their tax return. Applicants create a self-medication tax system statement by referencing receipts and invoices for products that qualify for the self-medication tax system. The self-medication tax system statement will include the amount paid, the name of the medicine, the name of the payee, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-312556 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] As mentioned above, applicants can obtain medical insurance medical expense notification information from My Number Portal. However, even if medical expenses are eligible for medical expense deductions, medical expenses not covered by medical insurance are not included in the medical expense notification information. In addition, products that are subject to the self-medication tax system are not covered by medical insurance, and therefore are not included in the medical expense notification information. Therefore, applicants cannot obtain information on medical expenses not covered by medical insurance, such as the purchase costs of products that are subject to the self-medication tax system, from My Number Portal.

[0009] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present disclosure is to provide a medical expense information output device, a medical expense information output system, a medical expense information output method, and a medical expense information output program that enable applicants to reduce the effort required to prepare medical expense statements.

[0018] The receiving unit 11 receives payment information from the payment information providing device. The payment information is information related to payment for a product. The payment information includes paid product information and payer information. The paid product information is identification information for the product that has been paid for. The payer information is identification information for the payer who made the payment. The payment information providing device provides the payment information.

[0019] The identification unit 12 identifies the target payment information from the payment information based on the target product information and the payment information. The target product information is identification information for products that are eligible for medical expense deductions. The target payment information is payment information for products that are eligible for medical expense deductions. Note that products that are eligible for medical expense deductions may be products that are not covered by medical insurance, or may be products that are covered by medical insurance.

[0020] The output unit 13 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information. The medical expense information is information relating to the target payment information for each settler information.

[0021] Next, we will explain an example of the operation flow of the medical expense information output device 10. An example of the operation flow of the medical expense information output device 10 is shown in FIG.

[0022] The receiving unit 11 receives payment information from the payment information providing device (step S101).

[0023] The identification unit 12 identifies the target payment information from the payment information based on the target product information and the payment information (step S102). The target payment information is payment information for products that are eligible for medical expense deductions.

[0024] The output unit 13 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information (step S03). The medical expense information is information relating to the target payment information for each settler information.

[0025] As described above, in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the medical expense information output device 10 includes a receiving unit 11, an identification unit 12, and an output unit 13. The receiving unit 11 receives payment information from the payment information providing device. The payment information is information related to the payment of a product. The payment information includes paid product information and payer information. The paid product information is identification information of the product for which payment has been made. The payer information is identification information of the payer who made the payment. The payment information providing device provides the payment information. The identification unit 12 identifies target payment information from the payment information based on the target product information and the payment information. The target product information is identification information of a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The target payment information is payment information for a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The output unit 13 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information. The medical expense information is information related to the target payment information for each payer information.

[0026] As a result, the medical expense information output device 10 identifies payment information for products eligible for medical expense deductions from the payment information and outputs information regarding the applicable payment information for each payment person information. As a result, the medical expense information output device 10 can provide the applicant with information regarding products eligible for medical expense deductions from among the payment information of payments made by the applicant. This reduces the applicant's effort in creating a medical expense statement.

[0027] [Second embodiment] Next, a medical expense information output device 20 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Note that a specific example of the medical expense information output device 10 according to the first embodiment is the medical expense information output device 20 according to the second embodiment.

[0028] 3 shows an example of the configuration of a system including a medical expense information output device 20. The medical expense information output device 20 is connected to a payment information providing device 30.

[0029] The payment information providing device 30 provides payment information. The payment information is information relating to payment for products. Details of the payment information will be described later.

[0030] A payment information providing device 30 is provided for each payment service provider, for example. A payment service provider is a business that provides payment services. A payment service is a service that can provide payment information. A payment service may be, for example, a service that provides cashless payment. Cashless payment is a payment service that does not involve the direct exchange of cash, such as credit card payment, debit card payment, code payment (barcode payment, QR code (registered trademark) payment, etc.), and contactless IC (Integrated Circuit) payment.

[0031] The medical expense information output device 20 receives payment information from the payment information providing device 30 and outputs medical expense information. The medical expense information will be described later.

[0032] A medical expense information output device 20 may be provided for each payment service provider. For example, Fig. 4 shows an example configuration of a system including medical expense information output devices 20-i (N is an integer equal to or greater than 1). As in the example configuration shown in Fig. 4, medical expense information output devices 20-i may be connected to payment information providing devices 30-i. In the example configuration shown in Fig. 4, each of medical expense information output devices 20-1 to 20-N corresponds to the medical expense information output device 20 shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N corresponds to the payment information providing device 30 shown in Fig. 3.

[0033] Furthermore, a medical expense information output device 20 may be provided for two or more payment service providers. For example, Fig. 5 shows an example configuration of a system including a medical expense information output device 20. As in the example configuration shown in Fig. 5, a medical expense information output device 20 may be connected to each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N. In the example configuration shown in Fig. 5, each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N corresponds to the payment information providing device 30 shown in Fig. 3.

[0034] Next, an example of the configuration of the medical expense information output device 20 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the medical expense information output device 20. The medical expense information output device 20 includes a receiving unit 21, an identifying unit 22, and an output unit 23.

[0035] Receiving unit 21 receives payment information from payment information providing device 30.

[0036] The payment information includes payment product information. The payment product information is identification information of the paid product. The payment product information may be, for example, the name of the paid product or a product code. The product may be an object, or may be something that does not involve an object, such as medical treatment or a service. The product code may be, for example, a GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) code (JAN (Japanese Article Number) code).

[0037] The payment information also includes payer information. The payer information is identification information of the payer who made the payment. The payer is a person who purchases a product using a payment service. The payer information may include, for example, user identification information of the payment service provider. The user identification information is identification information assigned by the payment service provider to each user who uses the payment service. The payer information may also include payment service provider information, which is identification information of the payment service provider.

[0038] The payment information may further include price information. The price information is information about the price of the product that has been paid for. In other words, the price of the product is the purchase price paid by the person making the payment (purchaser).

[0039] The payment information may further include provider information. The provider information is information about the provider of the product for which payment has been made. The provider may be, for example, a seller of the product, such as a pharmacy or drugstore. The provider may provide the product online. The provider information may include, for example, the name and identification information of the provider.

[0040] The payment information may further include payment date information. The payment date information is information indicating the date on which the product was paid for. The payment date information may be information on the date and time of payment.

[0041] The receiving unit 21 receives the payment information at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing may be at predetermined intervals (for example, once a month, once a day, etc.), may be when payment is made, or may be when an instruction to output medical expense information is issued.

[0042] An example of payment information is shown in Figure 7. The example shown in Figure 7 is an example in which the receiving unit 21 receives four pieces of payment information. In the example shown in Figure 7, each piece of payment information includes payer information, payment product information, provider information, and amount information. Also, in the example shown in Figure 7, the payer information includes payment business operator information and user identification information. When one medical expense information output device 20 is associated with one payment business operator, the payer information does not need to include payment business operator information.

[0043] 7, the receiving unit 21 receives payment information for three sets of settler information (settler 2-1 to settler 2-3), but the receiving unit 21 may receive payment information for specific settler information. The specific settler information may be specified by an instruction to output medical expense information for the specific settler information.

[0044] The identification unit 22 identifies the target payment information from the payment information acquired by the receiving unit 21 based on the payment information and the target product information received by the receiving unit 21. The target product information is identification information for products that are eligible for medical expense deductions. The target payment information is payment information for products that are eligible for medical expense deductions.

[0045] The eligible product information is stored in internal or external storage means (not shown) of the medical expense information output device 20. As mentioned above, the applicant can obtain medical insurance medical expense notification information from Mynaportal. Therefore, here, it is assumed that products eligible for medical expense deductions are products not covered by medical insurance. Products not covered by medical insurance may be products subject to the self-medication tax system, such as switch OTC (over-the-counter) medicines. The eligible product information may include information indicating whether the product is subject to the self-medication tax system. The eligible product information may also include information on products covered by medical insurance. In this case, the eligible product information may include information indicating whether the product is covered by medical insurance.

[0046] The identification unit 22 identifies the target payment information from the payment information acquired by the reception unit 21 based on the payment information received by the reception unit 21 and the target product information.

[0047] The output unit 23 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information identified by the identification unit 22. The medical expense information is information relating to the target payment information for each settler information. The medical expense information is, for example, the target payment information for each settler information. The medical expense information may also be, for example, the target payment information for specific settler information. The specific settler information may be specified by an instruction to output medical expense information for the specific settler information.

[0048] The medical expense information may be information about products not covered by medical insurance, or may be information that distinguishes between products not covered by medical insurance and products covered by medical insurance.The medical expense information may also be information that distinguishes between products that are subject to the self-medication tax system and products that are not subject to the self-medication tax system, with respect to products not covered by medical insurance.

[0049] The output unit 23 outputs the medical expense information at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing may be at predetermined intervals (for example, once a month, once a day, etc.), may be when a payment is made, or may be when an instruction to output the medical expense information is issued.

[0050] Furthermore, the output unit 23 may output non-target payment information. The non-target payment information is payment information that is acquired by the receiving unit 21 and is not target payment information.

[0051] The output unit 23 may output the medical expense information, for example, to a storage means inside or outside the medical expense information output device 20. The output unit 23 may also output the medical expense information stored in the storage means at a predetermined timing.

[0052] Furthermore, the output unit 23 may output the medical expense information to, for example, a settler terminal (not shown) used by the settler. For example, when an instruction to output medical expense information corresponding to specific settler information is input from the settler terminal, the output unit 23 may output the medical expense information corresponding to the settler information.

[0053] For example, when a settlor logs in to an application installed on the settlor terminal and requests the output of medical expense information, an instruction to output medical expense information corresponding to the settlor information of the logged-in user may be input from the settlor terminal to the medical expense information output device 20. Information based on the medical expense information output by the output unit 23 may then be displayed on the settlor terminal. The settlor may also use the medical expense information output from the output unit 23 to the settlor terminal as a statement of medical expense deductions or a statement of the self-medication tax system. In this case, the payment information and medical expense information include information on the items to be listed on the statement of medical expense deductions or the statement of the self-medication tax system.

[0054] Furthermore, if the payment product information included in the payment information is a product code, the output unit 23 may output medical expense information including the product name as payment product information based on a correspondence table between product codes and product names. In this case, the correspondence table between product codes and product names is stored in a storage means inside or outside the medical expense information output device 20.

[0055] Furthermore, when the provider information included in the payment information is the provider's identification information, the output unit 23 may output medical expense information including the provider's name as the provider information based on a correspondence table between the provider's identification information and name. In this case, the correspondence table between the provider's identification information and name is stored in a storage means inside or outside the medical expense information output device 20.

[0056] The medical expense information may be divided into medical expense information for products not covered by medical insurance and medical expense information for products covered by medical insurance. The medical expense information for products not covered by medical insurance may be separated into medical expense information for products eligible for medical expense deductions and medical expense information for products eligible for the self-medication tax system.

[0057] An example of medical expense information is shown in Figure 8. The example shown in Figure 8 is an example of medical expense information when the receiving unit 21 receives the payment information shown in Figure 7 and products 3-1 and 3-3 are eligible for medical expense deductions. In this way, the medical expense information may indicate eligible payment information for each of one or more sets of payment person information.

[0058] Another example of medical expense information is shown in Figure 9. The example shown in Figure 9 is an example of medical expense information when the medical expense information output device 20 receives payment information from two or more payment information providing devices 30, as in Figure 5. In the example shown in Figure 9, the medical expense information includes target payment information for two or more payment business information. In the examples shown in Figures 8 and 9, the medical expense information includes information for two or more settler information, but the medical expense information may be separated by settler information.

[0059] Next, an example of the operation flow of the medical expense information output device 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0060] Receiving unit 21 receives payment information from payment information providing device 30 (step S101).

[0061] The identification unit 22 identifies the target payment information from among the payment information acquired by the reception unit 21, based on the payment information received by the reception unit 21 and the target product information (step S102).

[0062] The output unit 23 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information identified by the identification unit 22 (step S103). The medical expense information is information relating to the target payment information for each settler information item.

[0063] As described above, in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the medical expense information output device 20 includes a receiving unit 21, an identification unit 22, and an output unit 23. The receiving unit 21 receives payment information from the payment information providing device. The payment information is information related to the payment of a product. The payment information includes paid product information and payer information. The paid product information is identification information of the product for which payment has been made. The payer information is identification information of the payer who made the payment. The payment information providing device provides the payment information. The identification unit 22 identifies target payment information from the payment information based on the target product information and the payment information. The target product information is identification information of a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The target payment information is payment information for a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The output unit 23 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information. The medical expense information is information related to the target payment information for each payer information.

[0064] As a result, the medical expense information output device 20 identifies payment information for products eligible for medical expense deductions from the payment information and outputs information regarding the applicable payment information for each payment person information. As a result, the medical expense information output device 20 can provide the applicant with information regarding products eligible for medical expense deductions from among the payment information of payments made by the applicant. This reduces the applicant's effort in preparing a medical expense statement.

[0065] The payment information may also be information relating to a cashless payment. In a cashless payment, information relating to the payment is recorded, so that provision of the payment information can be easily realized.

[0066] The eligible product information also includes information on products not covered by medical insurance, which makes it easier to apply for medical expense deductions for the purchase of products not covered by medical insurance.

[0067] [Third embodiment] Next, a medical expense information output device 20 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. Note that a specific example of the medical expense information output device 10 according to the first embodiment is the medical expense information output device 20 according to the third embodiment.

[0068] In this embodiment, a case where the medical expense information output device 20 outputs medical expense information to the My Number portal information management device 40 will be described.

[0069] First, Fig. 10 shows an example of the configuration of a system including a medical expense information output device 20. The medical expense information output device 20 is connected to a payment information providing device 30. The medical expense information output device 20 is also connected to a My Number Portal information management device 40. The medical expense information output device 20 and the My Number Portal information management device 40 are included in a medical expense information output system 60.

[0070] The My Number Portal information management device 40 manages information output from the My Number Portal.

[0071] Unless otherwise specified, the payment information providing device 30 and the medical expense information output device 20 are the same as those in the second embodiment. The output unit 23 of the medical expense information output device 20 outputs medical expense information to the My Number Portal information management device 40.

[0072] A medical expense information output device 20 may be provided for each payment service provider. For example, Fig. 11 shows an example configuration of a system including medical expense information output device 20-i (N is an integer equal to or greater than 1). As in the example configuration shown in Fig. 11, medical expense information output devices 20-i may be connected to payment information providing devices 30-i and one another. In the example configuration shown in Fig. 11, each of medical expense information output devices 20-1 to 20-N corresponds to the medical expense information output device 20 shown in Fig. 10. Furthermore, each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N corresponds to the payment information providing device 30 shown in Fig. 10. Furthermore, medical expense information output system 61 corresponds to the medical expense information output system 60 shown in Fig. 10.

[0073] Furthermore, a medical expense information output device 20 may be provided for two or more payment service providers. For example, Fig. 12 shows an example configuration of a system including a medical expense information output device 20. As in the example configuration shown in Fig. 12, a medical expense information output device 20 may be connected to each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N. In the example configuration shown in Fig. 12, each of payment information providing devices 30-1 to 30-N corresponds to the payment information providing device 30 shown in Fig. 10.

[0074] Next, the My Number portal information management device 40 will be described.

[0075] When instructed to output medical expenses information corresponding to a My Number, the My Number portal information management device 40 outputs medical expenses information regarding the payer information associated with the My Number of the person for whom the medical expenses information is to be output.

[0076] More specifically, when an instruction to associate a My Number with the payer information is input, the My Number portal information management device 40 first stores the correspondence information for the My Number for which the association has been instructed in a storage means (not shown) inside or outside the My Number portal information management device 40. The correspondence information is information that indicates the correspondence between the My Number and the payer information. The instruction to associate the My Number with the payer information is input to the My Number portal information management device 40, for example, by the user operating a terminal on which the My Number portal is displayed.

[0077] An example of correspondence information is shown in Figure 13. In the example shown in Figure 13, payer information including payment business information and user identification information is associated with an Individual Number. For example, Individual Number 5-1 is associated as payer information with user identification information "Payer 1-1-1" at a payment business whose payment business information is "Business 1-1."

[0078] Furthermore, one or more pieces of payer information can be associated with one My Number. For example, if one person uses two or more payment services, the payer information for each payment service can be associated with the person's My Number. Furthermore, one piece of payer information can be associated with one My Number.

[0079] In addition, when a user associates the My Number with the payer information in My Number Portal, it is advisable to obtain the user's consent to link the payment information with My Number Portal. Then, if the user's consent is obtained, My Number Portal information management device 40 may store the correspondence relationship information for the My Number for which the association has been instructed in the storage means.

[0080] The My Number Portal information management device 40 receives medical expense information from the output unit 23 of the medical expense information output device 20. The My Number Portal information management device 40 then stores the received medical expense information in a storage means. For example, the My Number Portal information management device 40 may periodically receive medical expense information, similar to medical expense notification information for medical insurance.

[0081] In addition, when instructed to output medical expenses information corresponding to a My Number, the My Number portal information management device 40 outputs medical expenses information regarding the payer information associated with the My Number of the person for whom the medical expenses information is to be output.

[0082] Furthermore, if a proxy has been set on the My Number Portal, the My Number information management device 40 can also output medical expenses information for the payer information associated with the My Number for which the My Number for which the medical expenses information is to be output is set as the proxy. Note that the proxy setting for medical expenses information may be the same as the proxy setting for other information on the My Number Portal, or it may be independent.

[0083] FIG. 14 shows an example of proxy setting information. In this way, let us assume that My Number "My Number 5-1" is set as the proxy for My Number "My Number 5-3." If the My Number for which medical expenses information is to be output is "My Number 5-1," My Number Portal information management device 40 outputs medical expenses information for the payer information associated with My Number "My Number 5-1." My Number Portal information management device 40 can also output medical expenses information for the payer information associated with My Number "My Number 5-3."

[0084] The My Number Portal information management device 40 outputs medical expense information to, for example, a terminal (user terminal) (not shown) of a user who uses My Number Portal. The output medical expense information can be displayed on My Number Portal. The output medical expense information can also be used for filing tax returns.

[0085] The medical expense information output from the My Number Portal information management device 40 includes payment product information, provider information, and amount information. The medical expense information output from the My Number Portal information management device 40 may further include payment business operator information. The user identification information included in the payment provider information is information used for association with the My Number, and therefore does not need to be included in the medical expense information output from the My Number Portal information management device 40.

[0086] This will allow applicants to check medical expenses not covered by health insurance on Mynaportal, just as they can check medical expense notification information for health insurance on Mynaportal, thereby improving convenience for applicants.

[0087] The My Number Portal information management device 40 may also calculate an estimated deduction amount based on medical expenses subject to medical expense deductions, including medical expenses under medical insurance, and an estimated deduction amount based on medical expenses subject to the self-medication tax system. The My Number Portal information management device 40 may also output information regarding whether the application of the medical expense deduction including medical expenses under medical insurance or the self-medication tax system will result in a larger estimated deduction amount.

[0088] Next, an example of the operation flow of the medical expense information output device 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0089] Receiving unit 21 receives payment information from payment information providing device 30 (step S101).

[0090] The identification unit 22 identifies the target payment information from among the payment information acquired by the reception unit 21, based on the payment information received by the reception unit 21 and the target product information (step S102).

[0091] The output unit 23 outputs medical expense information to the My Number Portal information management device 40 based on the target payment information identified by the identification unit 22 (step S103). The medical expense information is information relating to the target payment information for each settler information.

[0092] 15 to 17 show examples of the operational flow of the My Number portal information management device 40. Fig. 15 is an example of the operational flow relating to associating My Number with payer information. Fig. 16 is an example of the operational flow relating to receiving medical expense information. Fig. 17 is an example of the operational flow relating to outputting medical expense information.

[0093] More specifically, first, when an instruction to associate a My Number with the payer information is input, the My Number portal information management device 40 stores the correspondence information for the My Number for which the association has been instructed in a storage means inside or outside the My Number portal information management device 40 (step S201 in FIG. 15). The instruction to associate a My Number with the payer information is input to the My Number portal information management device 40, for example, by the user operating a terminal on which the My Number portal is displayed.

[0094] The My Number portal information management device 40 also receives medical expense information from the output unit 23 of the medical expense information output device 20. The My Number portal information management device 40 then stores the received medical expense information in storage means (step S202 in FIG. 16). For example, the My Number portal information management device 40 may receive medical expense information periodically.

[0095] In addition, when instructed to output medical expenses information corresponding to a My Number, the My Number portal information management device 40 outputs medical expenses information regarding the payer information associated with the My Number of the person for whom the medical expenses information is to be output (step S203 in Figure 17).

[0096] As described above, in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, the medical expense information output device 20 includes a receiving unit 21, an identification unit 22, and an output unit 23. The receiving unit 21 receives payment information from the payment information providing device. The payment information is information related to the payment of a product. The payment information includes paid product information and payer information. The paid product information is identification information of the product for which payment has been made. The payer information is identification information of the payer who made the payment. The payment information providing device provides the payment information. The identification unit 22 identifies target payment information from the payment information based on the target product information and the payment information. The target product information is identification information of a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The target payment information is payment information for a product that is eligible for medical expense deduction. The output unit 23 outputs medical expense information based on the target payment information. The medical expense information is information related to the target payment information for each payer information.

[0097] As a result, the medical expense information output device 20 identifies payment information for products eligible for medical expense deductions from the payment information and outputs information regarding the applicable payment information for each payment person information. As a result, the medical expense information output device 20 can provide the applicant with information regarding products eligible for medical expense deductions from among the payment information of payments made by the applicant. This reduces the applicant's effort in preparing a medical expense statement.

[0098] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the output unit 23 outputs medical expense information to the My Number Portal information management device 40. The My Number Portal information management device 40 manages information output from the My Number Portal. Furthermore, when instructed to output medical expense information corresponding to a My Number, the My Number Portal information management device 40 outputs medical expense information for the payer information associated with the My Number of the person for whom the medical expense information is to be output. This makes it possible to provide medical expense information based on payment information to users via the My Number Portal. It is also possible to provide medical expenses not covered by medical insurance via the My Number Portal, improving user convenience.

[0099] Furthermore, when an instruction to associate the My Number with the payer information is input, the My Number portal information management device 40 stores correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the My Number and the payer information in the storage means. The My Number portal information management device 40 may store the correspondence information in the storage means when the individual's consent is obtained. This can improve the security of linking payment information with the My Number portal.

[0100] Furthermore, if a proxy is set in the My Number Portal, the My Number information management device 40 may also output medical expense information for the payer information associated with the My Number for which the My Number of the person whose medical expense information is being output is set as the proxy. This makes it easier for the user to refer to medical expense information about, for example, the medical expenses of family members.

[0101] [Hardware configuration example] An example of the configuration of hardware resources for implementing the medical expense information output device (10, 20, 20-i) in each of the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure using one information processing device (computer) will be described.
