Client fees for patients treated at Orton are invoiced by HUS.
- Assessment of treatment need: €71.30
- Joint replacement surgery: €233.80
- Possible short-term inpatient care fee: €71.50
The fees for the assessment of treatment need and joint replacement surgery include:
- telephone consultations
- laboratory and imaging examinations
- a preoperative appointment with a nurse and a telephone consultation
- physiotherapy appointments
- postoperative care
- one night in hospital, if the patient’s condition requires it
- a follow-up appointment
If a patient undergoing joint replacement surgery stays on Orton’s bed ward for more than one night, short-term inpatient care fees (€71.50 per day) will be charged in addition to the fee for the joint replacement surgery.
Short-term inpatient care fees are charged for both the day of admission and the day of discharge. As a result, one additional night in hospital incurs two short-term inpatient care fees.
The length of a patient’s hospital stay is always determined based on the patient’s medical condition.
The fees are determined by the Act on Client Charges in Healthcare and Social Welfare and the Decree on Client Charges in Healthcare and Social Welfare.
The fees are the same as HUS client fees.
When will I receive my invoice?
HUS sends invoices to patients approximately two weeks after treatment or an appointment.
If you have any questions regarding invoicing or debt collection, please contact HUS Customer Service for Patient Invoicing. Contact details can be found at the bottom of the page.
Payment cap

The monitoring period for the payment cap is one calendar year (1 January–31 December), and all eligible fees accrued during that calendar year are included based on the date of the appointment.
In 2026, the payment cap is €815. Once the payment cap has been reached, public healthcare services are generally free of charge for the remainder of the calendar year.
