Learning notes
Explanation
The word is built from ค่า “cost/fee,” รักษา “to treat,” and พยาบาล “to nurse or provide medical care.” It literally means the cost of treatment and care, and in practice it is a broad word for medical expenses. It can be used in everyday conversation, but it is especially common in administrative contexts such as insurance, employee benefits, receipts, reimbursement, and compensation. Common verbs used with it include จ่าย “pay,” เบิก “claim reimbursement,” and ครอบคลุม “cover.”
Usage
It is commonly used when talking about hospital payments, health insurance, employee medical benefits, compensation for illness or injury, tax matters, and public assistance procedures.
Caution
Although พยาบาล by itself can mean “nurse,” in ค่ารักษาพยาบาล it refers to nursing or medical care, not a separate fee paid to a nurse.
