Prepare Yourself, BPJS Health Contributions Will Change in July 2025

Kapanlagi.com - Revolutionary changes in the BPJS Health contribution system are coming soon! Starting July 2025, the public will witness a massive transformation with the introduction of the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) that will replace the existing class divisions of 1, 2, and 3. According to Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024, this step is taken to provide fairer and more equitable health services for all participants.

Before this change takes effect, until mid-2025, BPJS Health contributions will still use the old rates. However, along with the launch of the KRIS system, a new payment scheme will also be implemented. The government is optimistic that this change will help reduce disparities in health services across Indonesia.

The public is urged to understand this change well, including its impact on contributions and the benefits of services that will be received. For more complete information regarding the new BPJS Health policy in 2025, check out the interesting summary from Kapanlagi.com, Sunday (19/1).

1. Elimination of Class 1, 2, and 3: The KRIS System Starts in July

Starting in July 2025, BPJS Kesehatan will introduce a revolution in the healthcare service system by eliminating the division of classes 1, 2, and 3, and replacing it with the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS). This innovation aims to provide equal healthcare services for all participants, regardless of the insurance class paid.

Healthcare facilities are also required to meet minimum standards set by the government, so that disparities in services can be minimized. Although this step promises equality, thorough preparation from all parties, including technical regulations, is essential.

The government has set a deadline until July 1, 2025, to finalize discussions regarding the rates and benefits that participants will receive.

"By July 1, 2025, the rates and benefits will be established," said the President Director of BPJS Kesehatan, Ali Ghufron Mukti, quoting RRI.

2. New BPJS Health Tariff: What Has Changed?

The KRIS system not only overhauls the class distribution but also changes the face of the BPJS Health contribution tariff structure. Until early 2025, the public can still enjoy the old rates, which are class 1 priced at Rp150,000, class 2 at Rp100,000, and class 3 at only Rp42,000 per month.

However, in July 2025, the government will announce a new tariff that has been carefully structured, taking into account financial, political, and community payment capacity aspects. Not only that, this scheme will also ensure that the benefits received by participants remain optimal, so that quality and sustainable healthcare services can be maintained.

For participants receiving Contribution Assistance (PBI), the good news is that they will continue to receive full subsidies from the government, to ensure adequate access to healthcare services for underprivileged communities.

3. Main Reasons for Changes in the BPJS Health System

Quoted from ANTARA, in 2025, BPJS Kesehatan will undergo a massive transformation to create a more equitable and fair healthcare service for all layers of society. So far, the differences in service classes have often led to inequalities in the quality of care received at healthcare facilities.

With the launch of the KRIS system, every participant, regardless of social status, will receive equal access to care according to the established minimum standards.

This initiative aims not only to maintain the financial stability of BPJS Kesehatan, which is facing various challenges, but also to improve efficiency and transparency in the management of the national health insurance funds.

With a simpler system, it is hoped that the public will find it easier to understand their rights and obligations as BPJS Kesehatan participants.

4. Impact of Changes for BPJS Kesehatan Participants

The elimination of classes 1, 2, and 3 in the BPJS Kesehatan will bring significant changes affecting every participant. Now, the benefits received will no longer be differentiated based on class, but rather adjusted to new service standards that ensure adequate access to services for all.

However, challenges also arise for healthcare facilities that must adapt by improving infrastructure and service capacity to meet KRIS standards. The government is not remaining idle, providing guidance to prepare healthcare facilities for this new system.

Therefore, the public is expected to actively understand the new policies to maximize the benefits available, while the government is committed to conducting comprehensive socialization to ensure all participants can understand this important change.

5. Towards the KRIS System

Starting in early 2025, the transition process to the Indonesian Healthy People's Health System (KRIS) will be implemented gradually, with contributions and benefits still adhering to the old system until officially established in July 2025.

The government guarantees that during this transition period, healthcare services will continue without disruption, providing an opportunity for healthcare facilities to adapt to the new standards.

In addition, the government will actively monitor and evaluate the implementation of KRIS to ensure that this policy achieves its objectives.

Therefore, for participants, it is very important to stay updated with the latest information regarding these changes so that their rights remain protected and the healthcare services they receive remain optimal.
