Government Covid-19 Treatment Fee Scheme

JAKARTA - The COVID-19 pandemic has made people worried about their health. Confusion in care financing is still an important note for the government. Not a few people get checked out when they feel the symptoms of the virus. Even though for some people, this test is considered quite expensive and they hope to be covered by BPJS Kesehatan.

BPJS Kesehatan once claimed to be ready to cover the cost of treating COVID-19 patients, but it needed a special Presidential Instruction or Presidential Decree to authorize that. On March 27, BPJS Kesehatan has been assigned to help verify claims for treatment of COVID-19 patients from hospitals to the government. However, it should be noted, there are criteria for patients whose treatment costs are borne by the government.

Then what kind of conditions and conditions can the government get for patients? We try to answer it in the VOI podcast this time.
