“Where does the money for IDR 144.04 trillion come from?

Regarding the number of participants, he stressed, it has also increased. In 2022, the total number of BPJS Health participants will reach 248.77 million people, while in 2021 there will be 235.71 million. This number in 2022 is equivalent to 90.34% of Indonesia’s total population of 275.36 million.

According to Ghufron, the increase in the number of JKN participants is also accompanied by an increase in the number of health facility partners. In 2022, the BPJS’s collaboration with first-level health establishments (FKTP) will be 23,730 and that of advanced-level reference health establishments (FKRTL) will be 2,963.

“The average payment of claims does not take too long because it is 12.3 working days and for hospitals it is 14.07 days. Many people do not know that we do not have debts to hospitals. Before there were so many that it affected services, now we don’t have any, a small amount is still being processed for claims but in reality we have no debt,” Ghufron said.

“If anyone feels they can report a complaint, we will address it immediately,” he stressed.
