PCR test for returning to Japan after summer vacation in June

Hello, I will be returning to Japan with my elementary school child during the summer vacation in June.  According to
information, the lowest price was about $ 120, but I heard from someone who has already returned to Japan that it was ok with free inspection. So, I think we can probably go with the free inspection.
However, the free test will be available until the end of May, and it has not been decided yet whether the test will be available in June or not.
❶ If you know of a place where you can take a free test after June,
❷ please let us know.
Thank you very much.

REDmk,
sorry, I see you are already back in the US.
I know the PCR test in Japan is also expensive if you take it at a clinic or other places.
I hope the negative proof will be gone soon.

I am a Kaiser, and there is a section for Reimbursement, which requires submission of test details.
I will try to inquire somewhere.

Nomi Hawaii's free inspections may be extended.
I will check on the web site or at the Ala Moana inspection station.
It would be great if we could go free after June !.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know about this amazing system where you can have it verified via online, have it inspected and email me the certificate. It's sold out right now, but I heard it's CDC approved, so it's inexpensive if that's what you need. I'll let you know if anyone else asks. I also waited until the last minute to book an appointment, hoping that I might not need proof to enter the US, but no luck. I had no choice but to book an inspection with the Kinoshita Group, but when I checked the web a few days before departure, it was "closed" and I could not book. It might be better to book early. I was lucky at least that the dollar was strong. The U.S. government will cover the corona-related costs, so maybe it will be free through the insurance company. Kaiser vaccinates the uninsured, so I'd like to see them use their available space to conduct the tests as well. if you can get to Kaiser 3 days or more in advance, I think they might be able to do a travel test for you if you make an appointment.

When I returned, I uploaded all my documents on ANA's own website and submitted them. I was in a hotel, so there was no scanner, so I had to use my cell phone to copy and upload the affidavit, etc. After submitting it, ANA gave me an error and I had to resubmit it.

REDmk,

Looks like the Kinoshita group is booked 5 days in advance.
I just looked in to see if I could book an exam about the time I was going back to the US, but it was not possible at all ( lol )
I'll have to put it on my calendar, as I might inadvertently forget.

I checked the iHealth page, it's sold out.
Is this a temporary sellout? Someone said they used this method on Vivinavi.
It is convenient to receive it anywhere.

Kaiser's testing center in Hawaii is closed on Sundays,
I have an appointment at a fee-based clinic that is also open on Sundays.
It would be easier on my wallet if my insurance would cover it.

I am JAL, so I think I will be VeriFLY on the way back.
Probably not much different from ANA's system.
I will have to enter my date of birth or passport number either by hand ・ or digitally on the Kinoshita Group inspection certificate
a scanner or PC would be helpful ( I'm not used to editing on my phone ).
I would like to have the inspection the day before departure if at all possible, so that I can calmly prepare and upload the documents.

I contacted HMSA and they said they don't cover travel purpose, so in my situation, I guess I'll have to pay $ 110 ✖️ for the number of people I'm paying for at the moment.
