The payment ceiling on client fees for the municipal health care is €683 per a calendar year. 

The following issues will be taken into account in the payment ceiling on client fees: 

• fees for appointments with a health centre physician (annual fees, emergency fees, fees charged for appointments) 
• fees for outpatient clinic appointments (appointments with a medical specialist) 
• fees for outpatient surgery treatment and pain treatment 
• fees for individual physiotherapy (municipal, not private) 

• fees for day care and night care (short-term inpatient care) 
• fees for rehabilitation period in inpatient care 
• fees for short-term inpatient care 

The payment ceiling system is nationwide. If you already have a free card, please, show it when registering. 

The payment ceiling does cover some costs and expenses to be reimbursed for by certain insurances and not, among other things, fees for oral health care, home hospital, long-term inpatient care, home care, private practitioners and not either home travel expenses, costs for medicinal products, hires of the housing units (for example Katrinkoti, Kiviharju and Kotiranta), services provided by a physician which have been bought with a service voucher or those fees compensated by social assistance. 

The amount of fees for municipal health care and the inpatient care within social welfare will be monitored by a client payment card.  Should the total amount of the fees exceed €683.00 (= the payment ceiling) during a calendar year, the services are free of charge after this, with the exception of short-term inpatient care, which will be charged for a fee €22.50 per each care day. When calculating the payment ceiling, the minor children in the family will be taken into account, at the choice of persons who have custody of a child when the payment ceiling related to the other person who has custody of a child is being calculated. 

The client counselling point of the health centre provides additional information on the payment ceiling.
