Korvattavissa

Korvattavissa is a Finnish adjective meaning that something is eligible for reimbursement or compensation. It is formed from the verb korvata (to reimburse or compensate) and the suffixes that create a state or capability, so it describes costs, services, or items that may be paid back by a payer such as an insurer, the social security system, or an employer under applicable rules or contracts.

Usage and contexts

The term is common in administrative, healthcare, and financial contexts. It is used to indicate which expenses can be repaid. For example, korvattavissa olevat menot refers to reimbursable costs, and korvattavissa oleva hoito refers to treatment costs that a payer may cover. In health insurance or public reimbursement schemes, many medicines, services, or travel expenses may be described as korvattavissa, subject to policy terms, deductible levels, and coverage limits. The actual reimbursement amount and conditions are defined by specific schemes, agreements, or laws.

Nominal and syntactic forms

Korvattavissa can modify nouns directly as a predicate or as a postmodifier, such as korvattavissa oleva kustannus (a reimbursable cost) or korvattavissa olevat menot (reimbursable expenses). It is related to other Finnish terms such as korvaus (reimbursement), korvattava (reimbursable), and korvausjärjestelmä (reimbursement system). The concept is primarily used in official and policy language to describe eligibility rather than the guaranteed payment itself.

Notes

Eligibility for reimbursement depends on policy, documentation, timing, and applicable regulations. Some costs may be fully korvattavissa, others partially, or not at all, according to the relevant scheme.
