  3. When the child is delivered at a medical facility that is a member of the obstetrical care compensation system, 12,000 yen, the amount equivalent of the premium for the obstetrical care compensation system, will be added to the childbirth benefit (the amount equivalent to the actual premium will be paid if it is less than 12,000 yen).
