The capitation fund is the value of payments in the monthly period distributed by BPJS Health to first-level health facilities (FKPT), in this case, the public health center. The value distributed is based on the number of participants registered with the FKPT.
Then the management is related to the procedures for implementing the budget realization as well as the form of accountability for the capitation funds by the public health center.
This was said by Kadek Adi, in accordance with the regulations referring to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 21/2016 concerning the use of national health insurance capitation funds for health services (jaspelkes) and operational cost support for local government-owned FKPT (public health center).
"So, the Jaspelkes payment is appropriate or not, then its use for operations is also appropriate or not," he said.
With reference to such regulations, Kadek Adi said that within a year, the Babakan Health Center was known to have received capitation funds from BPJS Kesehatan amounting to Rp1.1 billion.
This value is seen from the number of participants registered in the FKTP at the Babakan Health Center. The number reached 15 thousand people covering four villages in Sandubaya District, Mataram City.
"Because the allegations (corruption) have existed in the last three years, starting from 2017-2019, so the number of capitation funds management appears to reach Rp3.3 billion," he said.
