The Indonesian government has increased the premium for Class III healthcare facilities for non-employees from 25,500 rupiah (US$1.74) to 35,000 rupiah (US$2.39) in addition to reducing the maximum wage base for pensions from 8,939,700 rupiah (US$612) to 8,754,600 rupiah (US$599).
Indonesia’s social health security program is run by the Social Security Administrator for Health (BPJS Kesehatan).
The healthcare program is said to be the world’s largest single-payer national health insurance program, covering 83 percent of the country’s 270 million population. Those registered with the program are eligible to receive a range of treatments from organ transplants to dental care to physiotherapy.
