Korvattavasta

Korvattavasta is a Finnish linguistic term used in administrative and legal language to denote something that is reimbursable or eligible for compensation. It is the inflected form of the adjective korvattava, meaning reimbursable, and is used to describe costs, services, or items that may be refunded by a payer such as a health insurer, social security authority, or employer.

In practice, korvattavasta appears in phrases that classify expenses according to their reimbursement status. For example, korvattava kustannus refers to a cost that can be reimbursed. The form korvattavasta can occur in sentences where the noun it modifies is in a case such as elative or another inflection, for example korvattavasta kustannuksesta, depending on the grammatical construction.

Common contexts for korvattavasta and related forms include health care and medicine reimbursement, travel allowances linked to work or education benefits, and other welfare-related reimbursements. The specific eligibility criteria and reimbursement rates are defined by laws, regulations, and payer policies, and these can vary between sectors and programs.

Related terms include korvaus (reimbursement or compensation) and korvattavuus (reimbursability). The concept serves as a descriptive label indicating eligibility for refund, rather than as a separate legal category; its interpretation depends on the applicable rules that determine which costs are korvattavat.
