5. Pay the healthcare fee for students in higher education
All degree students registered present are allowed to use the healthcare services provided by the Finnish Student Health Service (FSHS). As you are entitled to use the healthcare services by FSHS, you must pay a healthcare fee to Kela. Students pay the healthcare fee twice a year, once for autumn and once for spring semester.
The due date for the healthcare fee in the autumn semester is 30.9. so it is easy to pay it right away.
