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.

“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.
