Compensation of expenses from Kela
What part of the Työterveyshuolto costs does Kela reimburse?
Kela reimburses up to 60% of the costs for medical preventive care (in particular, for measures included mandatory by law) and up to 50% of the costs for treating employees.
The size and calculations of compensation depend on the number of employees and the form of the enterprise.
We have created a calculator for you that will help you calculate the maximum possible reimbursement from Kela for Työterveyshuolto expenses.
When does the compensation from Kela occur?
Self-employed individuals covered by YEL insurance receive compensation immediately upon paying their bills, while companies have the opportunity to receive reimbursement from Kela within six months after the end of the fiscal year.
What needs to be done to receive compensation?
The main thing to understand is that Kela does not simply reimburse a part of the paid bills, but the costs of actually completed work according to the annual Työterveyshuolto action plan.
In particular, if you have purchased a fixed-cost package but have only completed a small part of the planned work, then only a small part of the package cost will be reimbursed.
At the end of the fiscal year, we will prepare an annual report for you for Kela.
What documents need to be provided to receive a refund from Kela?
You need to provide form SV98a, which is a report on työterveyshuolto activities carried out and the company's expenses for them. The cost of this work is included in the price.
Does Kela reimburse foreign companies for Työterveyshuolto expenses?
Foreign companies operating in Finland have the right to compensation from Kela provided that contributions are paid into the Finnish pension fund. If pension contributions are paid in another country, there is no right to compensation from Kela.
