korvattavia

Korvattavia is the partitive plural form of the Finnish adjective korvattava, meaning reimbursable or compensable. It is used to describe expenses, services, or costs that may be repaid under a policy, contract, or law. The term appears frequently in insurance, healthcare, and administrative or corporate contexts to mark items that qualify for reimbursement.

Korvattava itself comes from the verb korvata, meaning to compensate or reimburse. As a modifying adjective, its basic form is korvattava; korvattavia is used when the noun it modifies is in partitive or plural, for example korvattavia kuluja (reimbursable costs) or korvattavia palveluita (reimbursable services). The exact scope of what is korvattavaa depends on the governing terms, conditions, and authorities involved.

In practice, korvattavia is a label in policy language indicating eligibility for repayment. Public programs, private insurance, and employer policies often specify which costs are korvattavia and under what circumstances, sometimes with limits, documentation requirements, or deductibles. The related noun korvattavuus expresses the broader concept of reimbursability or eligibility for reimbursement.

Related terms include korvaus (compensation or reimbursement), korvattavuus (reimbursability), and the verb korvata. The concept is analogous to English reimbursable or compensable, and its correct application hinges on the policy or legal context.

Examples: “Nämä kulut ovat korvattavia.”, meaning “These costs are reimbursable.” “Matkakulut voivat olla korvattavia, jos ne täyttävät vaatimukset.” “Korvattavuus riippuu sopimuksen ehdoista.”
