There is a payment cap on client fees for public health care. The monitoring period for the annual maximum of fees is the calendar year (January 1–December 31), and the calendar year’s fees are calculated towards the annual maximum according to the date of the visit, not the due date of the invoice or the date when the invoice is paid.

In 2026, the payment cap is EUR 815. The invoice indicates whether the fee accrues the payment cap. Once you have exceeded the payment cap, public healthcare services will primarily be free of charge for you until the end of the calendar year. Even after the payment cap has been exceeded, we will continue to charge a reduced fee per treatment day for short-term inpatient care.

You must monitor the accrual of the annual maximum yourself. Fees payable for patients under 18 years of age can be included in the payment cap for either of their guardians.

More information about the payment cap is available on the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health’s website.

The following count towards the payment cap

• fees for outpatient physician services at health centers
• physiotherapy fees
• serial treatment fees
• hospital outpatient fees
• ambulatory surgery fees
• fees for short-term inpatient care and institutional services at healthcare and social care facilities, such as on a ward at a hospital or health care center
• night care and day care fees
• rehabilitation fees
• oral health care appointment and procedure fees that do not include dental technology expenses such as expenses for prostheses, mouth guards for grinding teeth or sleep apnea, or orthodontic devices,
• temporary home healthcare and hospital-at-home fees
• therapy fees

• payments made with income support.

   

The following do not count towards the payment cap

• transportation fees
• fees for medical certificates and statements
• laboratory and imaging examinations performed under a referral from a private physician
• social care services, except for short-term institutional service
• income-tested services
• the co-payment for service vouchers
• the co-payment for transportation services
• fully private services that are not organized by the wellbeing services county
• Public health services received in Åland
• A fee charged to a person who does not have a municipality of residence in Finland, except for a fee charged to a person who is entitled to health services under European Union law or an international agreement binding on Finland under the same conditions as a person residing in Finland or who is considered as equivalent to a resident of a municipality.
   

Payment cap for the year 2025

Request the calculation of your accumulated fees towards the payment cap by contacting customer service in your wellbeing services county or at HUS. In your request, list the wellbeing services counties where you have received treatment during the calendar year.

Wait for the payment cap calculation. Information about your accumulated fees will be checked and shared between the wellbeing services counties and HUS, after which the organization where the payment cap was exceeded will calculate the payment cap.

After the calculation, you will be informed of invoices to be paid or refunds for any overpayments. Any overpayments will automatically be allocated to outstanding invoices.

Payment cap for the year 2026

When you have accumulated fees only at HUS we will automatically calculate your payment cap when fees accumulated at HUS exceed the payment cap.

When you have also accumulated fees from somewhere else than HUS:

• Request the calculation of your accumulated fees towards the payment cap by contacting customer service in your wellbeing services county or at HUS. In your request, list the wellbeing services counties where you have received treatment during the calendar year.
• Wait for the payment cap calculation. Information about your accumulated fees will be checked and shared between the wellbeing services counties and HUS, after which the organization where the payment cap was exceeded will calculate the payment cap.
• After the calculation, you will be informed of invoices to be paid or refunds for any overpayments. Any overpayments will automatically be allocated to outstanding invoices .
   

If you are in long-term institutional care (with an estimated or actual duration 3 months or more) with HUS, you will be charged a fee that is determined on the basis of your ability to pay pursuant to the Act on Client Charges in Healthcare and Social Welfare. 

The long-term institutional care fee will be reduced or waived if charging the fee endangers the conditions for your or your family’s livelihood or the fulfillment of your legal maintenance obligation (Section 11(1) of the Act on Client Charges in Healthcare and Social Welfare). In such situations, you need to contact client invoicing or the HUS unit that confirmed your original long-term institutional care fee. 
 

Reduction can be granted for flat-rate fees if you receive guarantee pension or if the you have been granted debt adjustment by a district court. However, no reduction is granted for fees for missed and not cancelled appointments, nor is it granted for patients who do not have a home municipality in Finland and who are responsible for the full cost of their treatment. 

Please deliver requests for reductions to our client invoicing customer service by mail (HUS Financial Services, Asiakaslaskutus, P.O. Box 680, FI-00029 HUS) or use the online portal. The request must be accompanied by a certificate of the guarantee pension issued by Kela or the district court’s decision to grant debt adjustment. 

Guarantee pension from Kela

• the reduction will come into effect on the date it is processed at client invoicing
• the reduction will be valid until further notice, or until the end date of a fixed-term guarantee pension.

District court debt adjustment

• the reduction will come into effect on the date it is processed at client invoicing, or on the starting date of the payment schedule if the payment schedule starts after the reduction has been processed at client invoicing
• the reduction will end on the date the payment schedule ends.

We do not grant reduction for fees that have been invoiced before the reduction came into effect.

This guideline for making a claim for a revised decision does not apply to an invoice associated with a payment decision for long-term institutional care determined by your ability to pay.

If you are dissatisfied with a client fee invoice for something other than the payment decision for long-term institutional care, you can appeal by submitting a claim for rectification to the HUS Group. You can appeal the invoice if the invoice is addressed to you or the invoice has an immediate impact on your rights, obligations, or benefits.

Make a written claim for rectification at the latest within 30 days of having received the invoice. We consider that you have received the invoice at least on the seventh day from its sending date, unless there is evidence of anything else. The day of arrival of the invoice shall not be included in the claim period. If the last day of the claim period is a public holiday, Independence Day, First of May, Christmas Eve, Midsummer Eve, or a normal Saturday, the claim for rectification may be filed on the following working day.

In the claim for rectification, please indicate your name, personal identity code, contact details, number of the invoice to be corrected, the change you are requesting, and your reasons for the claim. Include any documents you are invoking if you haven't already provided them before. If your right of action is being exercised by your legal representative or agent, or if the claim for rectification is drawn up by another person, also provide their name and contact information.

Send the claim for rectification to the HUS Group’s registry, P.O. Box 200, FI-00029 HUS or by email to kirjaamo@hus.fi

The processing of the claim for rectification is free of charge for you. The invoice cannot be appealed to the courts.

Service vouchers complement our in-house operations. We can issue service vouchers to patients on the waiting list in situations where our own capacity is not enough for providing treatment in compliance with the Care Guarantee Act. You cannot yourself request or opt for a service voucher.

Our purpose in this is to guarantee you high-quality care and to improve access to treatment flexibly, thereby shortening waiting times.

Your deductible will be no more than the fee charged by HUS for the same service. Treatment that you obtain using a service voucher will cost you no more than the same treatment at HUS. By law, you have the right to refuse a service voucher if offered and choose to stay on the HUS waiting list instead.

If you do accept a service voucher, you may choose where to go for your treatment from a list of service providers approved as our partners. Once you have received a service voucher through the “palse” system, you may book an appointment for a procedure with the service provider of your choice and agree on the time and other details with them. You may also purchase extra services from that service provider beyond that which the service voucher covers.

A service voucher is issued to you personally. It cannot be exchanged for cash, and you may not use it for any other purpose than that specified in the issuing decision. You cannot claim a tax credit for household expenses for a service obtained using a service voucher.

You will retain all the rights of a patient provided for in the Act on the Status and Rights of Patients, as with all public healthcare services. The Consumer Protection Act also applies with respect to any service provider that you go to. If you are unhappy with the service you obtain using a service voucher, you may file a complaint with us and the service provider. 

Telephone: 09 471 78570, open weekdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

We do not provide service to other client groups using this contact information.
 

If your bank does not accept our reference number as it is, remove the first four digits, or include the entire reference number as a message.

For data security reasons, our invoices do not include detailed information about your treatment. HUS treatment information can be found in MyKanta and Maisa. You can also submit a request for us to provide you with your patient data.

If your payment cap has not yet been calculated, you will continue to be invoiced as normal. In this case, please contact our customer service to have the payment cap calculated and the invoice adjusted.
Invoicing will not stop completely once the cap has been met. Once the payment cap has been calculated, you will be invoiced for short-term inpatient care at discounted prices.

We will postpone the due dates of outstanding invoices by three months from the date of death upon notification from a family member for estate inventory purposes. If any additional time is granted for the estate inventory, please provide our customer service with a copy of the tax authorities’ decision to obtain an extension to the due dates.

If the estate inventory finds the estate to be over-indebted or indigent, please provide our customer service with a copy of the estate inventory. It is not necessary to provide the estate inventory if the estate’s funds are sufficient to pay the outstanding receivables. 

We will always send you a payment reminder in the mail, even if you have an e-invoicing plan.

You can request a copy of an invoice by phone, email or mail from our customer service.
A fee may be charged for multiple requests for copies of invoices.
