If you are registered as attending, you can use the services of the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS) (yths.fi). The healthcare fee must be paid for both spring term and autumn term. Make sure to pay the fee on your own initiative because Kela does not send a bill for the fee.

The healthcare fee for higher education students is a total of EUR 71.20 for 2025, or EUR 35.60 for each term. The due date for payment of the healthcare fee in the autumn term is 15 November 2025. You can pay the fee in OmaKela.
