I thank and appreciate BPJS Kesehatan which continues to innovate information technology transformation and how health services to the community are getting better," said Sutiaji.
He further explained that Law Number 23 of 2014 mandates that regional governments are extensions of the central government, where one of the obligations that must be fulfilled is infrastructure, education and health. So how to ensure that the health of the people in the region is met properly is one of the obligations that must be carried out.
Meanwhile, Head of BPJS Kesehatan Malang Branch, dr. Dina Diana Permata, AAK revealed that through the inauguration of the E-JKN Cekat innovation, it is hoped that it will make it easier for people who are not yet registered for JKN to be recorded or registered. "Hopefully with the E-JKN application, the City Government can conduct data collection quickly, precisely and accurately for Malang City residents who will later need health insurance to be registered with BPJS Kesehatan," he explained.
Dina added that with E-JKN, Malang City residents can easily apply for registration or deactivation of membership in the JKN program online. So that applicants do not need to come directly to the BPJS Kesehatan office but can come directly to the sub-district office in their respective domicile areas.
For the participant submission flow, the sub-district enters the JKN submission data by the community, then the data that has been inputted will be verified by the relevant regional apparatus, namely the Dispendukcapil, Dinsos P3AP2KB, Disnaker PMPTSP, and the Health Office. The data that is verified includes population data, integrated social welfare data, worker data and other data as well as determining the level one health facility, then the application letter to BPJS will be sent to BPJS to be verified and registered for participation in JKN.
Meanwhile, for deactivation of membership, the flow is the same, the public can submit a one-stop application through the sub-district and can directly monitor the status of their application form through the application without having to come in person repeatedly for checking.
