Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – BPJS Health is a national health service system that resembles insurance. This medical service includes outpatient care to surgery.
However, like private insurance, this service only applies to certain categories. This means that not all types of operations can be covered by BPJS Health.
The list of health services covered by BPJS is contained in the Guidelines for Implementing National Health Insurance (JKN) in Minister of Health Regulation (PMK) No. 28 of 2014.
Here are 5 types of operations that are not covered by BPJS Health
1. Operations Due to the Impact of Accidents
2. Cosmetic or Aesthetic Surgery (surgery that is not harmful to health)
3. Operations due to self-injury (operations due to inaccuracy or carelessness that result in injury)
4. Operations at Overseas Hospitals (operations carried out outside the reach of BPJS Health)
5. Operations that do not comply with BPJS Health Procedures (operations that do not complete the appropriate application procedures)
To obtain full protection, participants need to follow applicable procedures. After the procedure is carried out according to the provisions, BPJS Health will cover all costs of surgery and treatment.
- The first step, participants are asked to seek treatment at a health facility (puskesmas or clinic) that has been approved by BPJS Health.
- Second, if surgery is required, participants will be given a referral letter to the hospital.
- The third step, the hospital doctor will examine the patient and arrange a surgery schedule. If the patient is in an emergency situation, treatment will be carried out immediately.
