LEBAK - A total of 179,710 BPJS participants receiving health insurance contributions (PBI-JK) in Lebak Regency, Banten were deactivated starting February 1, 2026, because they were verified based on the update of the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN).

Head of BPJS Kesehatan Lebak Regency Asty Dwi Lestari said that this DTSEN-based data collection is targeted, so that those who receive the BPJS PBI-JKN program are really from poor or vulnerable families from Desil 1 and 5.

Meanwhile, for people who fall into the Desil 6 to 10 category do not receive BPJS PBI JK, because their economic life is already good and prosperous.

However, BPJS PBI JK participants who are deactivated can still apply for reactivation within six months of their status changing.

Likewise, for participants in a sick condition and in need of hospital medical treatment, they can apply for reactivation by attaching a Certificate of Inability (SKTM) and recommendations from the local Social Service.

"I think the government is distributing the BPJS PBI-JK program specifically for poor and vulnerable people who are in Desil 1 to 5," he said in Lebak, Antara, Monday, February 16.

Deputy Regent of Lebak Amir Hamzah said the local government had allocated a budget of Rp. 92 billion for the payment of BPJS PBI-JK for poor and vulnerable people in the area.

"We allocate this budget for poor and vulnerable people to get BPJS PBI-JK, so that they can receive free health services," he said.
