Kuntoutuspäätökset

Kuntoutuspäätökset are decisions made regarding rehabilitation services in Finland. These decisions are typically issued by public social security institutions, such as Kela (The Social Insurance Institution of Finland), or by municipalities. They determine an individual's eligibility for various rehabilitation services, which can include medical rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, or social rehabilitation.

The process of obtaining a kuntoutuspäätös usually begins with an application, often supported by a medical statement or a proposal from a rehabilitation professional. The decision-making authority then assesses the applicant's needs and the suitability of the requested rehabilitation based on legislation and established criteria. Factors considered include the individual's health status, functional capacity, and potential to benefit from rehabilitation.

A kuntoutuspäätös specifies the type of rehabilitation granted, its duration, and any associated costs or reimbursements. It also outlines the rights and obligations of the individual receiving rehabilitation. If an individual is dissatisfied with a decision, they have the right to appeal it through the established administrative channels. These decisions play a crucial role in supporting individuals in maintaining or improving their health, functional ability, and participation in work and daily life.
