Sending certificate data in Begin Sending certificate data in Begin When a doctor closes a certificate, open Settings → Integrations → Tervisekassa → Waiting for data to send the employer’s part. The list shows what still needs you and when it is due.

Review before sending

Check the person and certificate period. If the row says Matches nobody in Begin, check the person’s personal code rather than sending data for somebody else. Your own profile needs a valid personal identification code too: Tervisekassa uses it to identify the sender. The queue gives seven days after closure for the employer’s data, and Begin sends inbox reminders. Review a closed certificate and send the employer’s part to Tervisekassa. Review a closed certificate and send the employer’s part to Tervisekassa.

Send the employer’s part

1

Open the certificate

Choose Send data on the certificate you are completing.
2

Check the pay

Enter the pay figure the form asks for. A contract salary may be filled in for you; replace it if actual payroll differs. Where the form asks for Six-month average pay, use that figure instead.
3

Complete the relevant details

State any period without benefit, work during the certificate, or paid lighter duty that applies. Check the contact Tervisekassa should ask.
4

Send and check the response

Choose Send to Tervisekassa and check that Begin reports it as sent. If Tervisekassa refuses it, read the reason and correct the missing information.
Send an already-sent certificate again only to correct it. Begin cannot withdraw the employer’s part. For a case using six-month average pay, later sheets must keep the figure already sent for that case.

Resolve a refusal

If bank details are missing, the employee must add them with Tervisekassa before you send again. A work-accident certificate can wait for the accident report to reach the authority. Neither is fixed by changing the salary figure. If your personal code is refused, check it on your own profile. If the certificate can no longer be supplemented, follow that response rather than repeatedly submitting it. A certificate Tervisekassa no longer holds leaves the queue on its own.
