tate-owned lender PT Bank Mandiri has prepared a supply chain financing (SCF) scheme worth Rp 126 billion (US$8.05 million) to pay the claims of nine hospitals in Surakarta, Central Java, that are partnered with the Health Care and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan).
The agreement on the financing scheme was signed by representatives of the hospitals, Bank Mandiri inter-institution director Alexandra Askandar and BPJS Kesehatan finance and investment director Kemal Imam Santoso in Surakarta on Thursday.
Alexandra said in a press statement on Thursday that the financing scheme was to help maintain the cash flow of the hospitals.
Through the scheme, Mandiri would pay the claims from hospitals shortly after the bills were received and verified by BPJS Kesehatan, Alexandra said.
“This financing support is expected to encourage BPJS Kesehatan’s partners to provide the best healthcare services to the public,” Alexandra said.
Bank Mandiri had provided SCF to BPJS Kesehatan’s partners since last year, involving 50 hospitals with the total SCF scheme worth Rp 500 billion as of August, she said, adding that the bank and BPJS Kesehatan would expand the program to include other BPJS Kesehatan partners.
The nine new hospitals to join the SCF scheme are RS Panti Wilasa Citarum, RS Panti Wilasa Cipto, RS Panti Waluyo Solo, RS Ngesti Waluyo Temanggung, RS Bethesda, RS Panti Rahayu Purwodadi, RS Sinar Kasih Purwokerto, RS Waluyo Purworejo and RS Bethesda Lempuyangwangi. (bbn)
