Claiming compensation
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI will be replaced by a referral from a specialist at Terveystalo from the beginning of 2025. You no longer need to apply for support from fund for the scan. Terveystalo will invoice the examination from the fund when you present your Kela card at the reception.
Compensation for Special Procedures
Based on Section 14 a of L&T Sickness Fund's rules, costs incurred for procedures performed to prevent disability and improve work and earning capacity can be compensated either in full or in part if the board deems it reasonable in individual cases. The member must submit a separate application to the sickness fund, attaching a B-doctor's statement or equivalent obtained from occupational health care. The statement must indicate the necessity of the procedure and provide a cost estimate. Additionally, the board requires endorsement from the fund's expert physician in support of the application.
Compensation for special procedures cannot be applied for retroactively; the application must be submitted to the sickness fund well in advance of the planned procedure.
The procedure application, along with its attachments, should be submitted to the sickness fund. More detailed instructions and application forms can also be obtained from the sickness fund's staff.
Please note
Membership begins six months after the start of the employment relationship.
