Student! Please remember to pay the healthcare fee by the end of January
In 2022, the student healthcare fee in higher education will be EUR 35.80 per term. For the spring term, the due date is 31 January provided that you have registered as attending by then. You can pay the healthcare fee via the OmaKela e-service.
No bill will be sent on the healthcare fee, and thus you have to pay the fee on your own initiative. If you do not pay the healthcare fee by the due date, Kela will send you a reminder. If you pay the fee after the due date, Kela will charge a fixed late-payment fee of EUR 5.
