When your doctor determines that your heart symptoms require further treatment, you will receive a referral for hospitalization.

A doctor’s referral is always needed for specialized medical care.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Visit a doctor.
  2. Your doctor will assess the need for further examination or treatment.
  3. If specialized care is deemed necessary, you can choose Heart Hospital with your doctor.
  4. Your doctor will make a referral to Heart Hospital, and you will receive an invitation at home.

The right to choose a treatment location applies to non-urgent specialized care provided in hospitals.

In emergency cases, everyone can receive urgent care at the nearest hospital with the expertise and capacity to treat the patient, regardless of their municipality.

Client fees

Public-sector patients only pay the standard polyclinic and hospital inpatient charges for their treatment in Heart Hospital. These charges are in line with the laws and regulations set by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health concerning social and health care client fees. The patient does not incur further charges for their procedure or surgery. The treatment is invoiced by the Pirkanmaa Hospital District Joint Municipal.
