How do you treat using a BPJS card?

Well, if you have just become a BPJS user or just want to try it, you can take the following steps to use your BPJS card when you see a doctor or hospital:

1. Follow the treatment sequence procedure

If you are sick and you are the owner of a BPJS card, you must first go to FASKES 1 (Health Facility 1), that is a family doctor or local health center, according to what you fill in the BPJS registration form. You cannot go directly to the hospital, except in an emergency. The BPJS will not cover your medical expenses if you force yourself to go directly to the hospital.

2. If you have to go to the hospital, ask for a referral letter

If you have been examined at FASKES 1 and it turns out that you can still be treated and treated, you do not need to go to the hospital. However, if your condition requires further treatment, FASKES 1 will provide a referral to the BPJS partner hospital.

After you receive a referral card from FASKES 1, you must take it to the hospital. Without the letter, you will be considered medical treatment using personal money and without using BPJS. So you must show it and the referral letter must not be lost.

3. Emergency patients can go directly to the hospital without a referral letter

If you experience an emergency, you can go directly to the hospital without going through FASKES 1 or without the referral letter. Emergency here means precarious conditions that can endanger lives, and have fatal consequences such as death or causing disability.

When all administrative requirements are complete, you can go to the hospital and all costs are borne by the BPJS, including medicines. But you need to remember, there are certain types of drugs that are not on the list of drugs that are borne by BPJS and you have to buy them yourself.
