Indonesia’s national health insurer, BPJS Kesehatan, is facing a deficit of 20 trillion rupiah ($1.69 billion) in 2024. This could lead to higher premiums for patients, as the insurer may need to increase its revenue to cover its costs.
The deficit is due to a number of factors, including:
* An increase in the number of people enrolled in the program
* Rising healthcare costs
* Inefficient use of resources
The Indonesian government is considering a number of options to address the deficit, including:
* Increasing the premium for all members
* Raising the premium for certain groups of people, such as those with higher incomes
* Introducing co-payments for certain services
* Reducing the benefits package
It is unclear which of these options, if any, the government will ultimately choose. However, it is likely that patients will face higher premiums in the future.
