26 May 2026
As of 26 May 2026, we will introduce an electronic membership application form for the processing of new membership applications. The application is completed through the Iris e-service at https://waasawartsilan.omasairauskassa.fi/
The purpose of this reform is to improve data protection and streamline customer service.
In addition to the electronic form, applications may also be completed at our office during opening hours or collected for completion and returned to the locked mailbox located next to the office door. We will no longer accept applications by email or through other channels.

The sickness fund has moved to new premises on the second floor of the Wärtsilä STH office, on the D- side.
You can find us immediately to the right after the glass door, when coming from the cafeteria.
If you are unable to access the second floor on your own, please ask the lobby information desk for assistance.
The sickness fund’s doorbell is located next to the glass door on the second floor.
Happy new year!
Wishes,
WaasaWärtsilä´s sickness fund 🙂

Changes to Electronic Authentication Starting 14.09.2023.
The reform of the Payment Services Act has introduced new requirements for the identification methods offered by banks. From now on, services must be accessed using a method that meets the definition of strong authentication. The purpose of this legal change is to ensure the security of customer data and payments. The changes coming into effect in September regarding the authentication methods provided by banks also apply to services such as the Kela online service and Omakanta, which use suomi.fi authentication.

National Agreement
The sickness insurance fund has signed a national invoicing agreement with the Mehiläinen medical center. The agreement is effective from July 1, 2019. Billing can be done by showing the Kela card.
10.6.2019
Starting June 10, Mehiläinen will use automatic patient invoicing. A bill will be sent to the customer if they have not confirmed their membership in the fund on-site. To prevent this, it is extremely important that all members of the sickness insurance fund show their Kela card at the Mehiläinen counter to ensure correct invoicing.
