T

he government has officially done away with the three-tiered system of the National Health Insurance (JKN) in favor of a single service for all policyholders of state-owned Health Care and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan), according to a presidential regulation gazetted on Monday.

Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 59/2024, signed by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on May 8, replaces the previous rules set out in 2018. Under the new regulation, the state insurer will implement a single-class standard for inpatient treatment, dubbed KRIS, beginning next year.

According to Article 103B, paragraph 1 of the regulation, KRIS will be rolled out in full across all BPJS Kesehatan partner hospitals by June 30, 2025 at the latest.

Participating healthcare facilities are offered a grace period until then to transition into the new single-class system at their own pace.

The KRIS system was first trialed in 2022 with plans to roll it out in the insurer’s 2,800 partner hospitals. It is hoped to eliminate the tiered system that categorizes policyholders into classes I-III according to the premiums they pay.
