Instructions for an easier Kela reimbursement application process 

Did you know that Pihlajalinna Occupational Health Care can send employer-specific information about occupational health expenses and activities directly to Kela? This makes the processing of reimbursement applications for occupational health expenses faster and saves the company’s time.  

How it works:  

  1. An occupational health nurse sends employer-specific basic information to Kela (minimum fee: 1 h).  
  2. The employer checks the information sent by the service provider in the Kela e-service.  
  3. The employer can edit the information in the e-service and approve it for use as a reimbursement application template.  

Here is a direct link to Kela’s instructions (in Finnish). Please contact your organisation’s designated occupational health nurse to start using this service.  

NB! If you as an employer do not want a pre-completed Kela reimbursement form from occupational health (electronic, paper or PDF) but wish to continue to fill it in yourself, please notify your organisation’s designated occupational health nurse as soon as possible. The timing of the reimbursement application depends on your financial period. The occupational health expense and activity information is collected when the invoice for the last month of the financial period has been sent for payment.  

You can find information about the reimbursement of occupational health expenses on Kela’s website (in Finnish).
