Have you paid your healthcare fee yet? If not, pay it now
In February, Kela sent a past due notice to the students who failed to pay the healthcare fee for students in higher education by the deadline. Unpaid healthcare fees will be referred to the enforcement authority on 17 April 2023.
In order to avoid collection by enforcement, you must pay the healthcare fee immediately, using the payment details in the past due notice. Students who have misplaced the past due notice can look up the payment details in the OmaKela e-service.
The healthcare fee that higher education students must pay to Kela covers all of the services available from the Finnish Student Health Service. There are no other fees for service or per-visit charges.
