Good to know
Prescription medicines also have an annual cap (laakekatto) around 580 euros after which you get bigger discounts. Some services are free regardless: children under 18, maternity clinics (neuvola), mental health first visits. Private healthcare is more expensive but faster - Kela reimburses a small portion of private costs.
