Improving the BPJS Health Program: Understanding the Response of Prospective Participants
Introduction
In the midst of uneven socio-economic conditions, many people with weak economies do not have health insurance. The health insurance program from the previous government was not distributed evenly and on target. As a solution, BPJS Health was launched as a government health insurance program that aims to help each other. This study aims to find out how prospective participants respond to the procedures for handling BPJS Health cards at the Medan Main Branch Office. With this research, it is expected to develop concepts and theories related to health insurance.
Background
The BPJS Health program was launched to provide health insurance to the Indonesian people, especially those with weak economies. However, the program's success depends on the community's participation and understanding of the program. This study focuses on the response of prospective participants to the procedures for handling BPJS Health cards at the Medan Main Branch Office. The research was conducted at the BPJS Health Main Branch (KCU) on Jalan Medan, with a population of 250 families. A sample of 25 families was taken using simple random sampling techniques.
Methodology
The data was obtained through a questionnaire, and data analysis was carried out using a quantitative analysis method with a descriptive approach. The questionnaire was designed to gather information about the prospective participants' knowledge of the program, their understanding of the registration requirements and procedures, and their attitudes towards the program.
Results
Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that prospective participants who want to register and their families have positive perceptions and participation in the BPJS Health program. This can be seen from their knowledge of the program as well as an understanding of the registration requirements and procedures that have been set. Nevertheless, there is also a negative response from prospective participants related to their attitudes. This is caused by the limited ability of prospective participants to meet the existing registration requirements.
Analysis and Explanation
The positive response from prospective participants to the BPJS Health program shows that the community began to realize the importance of having health insurance. Knowledge of good registration terms and procedures is the main capital for them to register. However, the obstacles encountered, such as the inability to meet registration requirements, need to be a concern of the government. This reflects the existence of a gap between public awareness of the importance of their health and the practical ability to access the program.
Efforts to increase community participation in the BPJS Health program can be done by providing broader education and providing convenience in meeting registration requirements. In addition, the government must also pay attention to the socioeconomic aspects of the community that are targeted by this program. That way, the BPJS Health program is not only a solution for those who are capable, but can also reach people with a weak economy more effectively.
Recommendations
To increase community access and understanding, it is necessary to cooperate between BPJS Health, local governments, and other community institutions. This can strengthen the information network needed to support the registration and maintenance of health insurance. With a holistic approach, it is hoped that this program can run better and provide greater benefits for the whole community, especially those who need it.
Conclusion
This research not only provides an overview of the response of prospective participants, but also offers perspectives to improve the BPJS Health program to be more inclusive and beneficial to the wider community. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for policymakers and stakeholders to improve the BPJS Health program and increase community participation.
Limitations
This study has some limitations. The sample size was relatively small, and the study was conducted in only one location. Future studies can be conducted with a larger sample size and in multiple locations to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the response of prospective participants to the BPJS Health program.
Future Research Directions
Future research can focus on the following areas:
- Conducting a larger-scale study to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the response of prospective participants to the BPJS Health program.
- Investigating the impact of the BPJS Health program on the health outcomes of the community.
- Examining the role of local governments and community institutions in promoting the BPJS Health program.
By addressing these research gaps, future studies can provide a more nuanced understanding of the BPJS Health program and its impact on the community.
