JAKARTA, February 22, 2026 — BPJS Kesehatan continues to demonstrate its commitment to making healthcare services accessible without the burden of outstanding contributions. In 2026, the significantly more flexible arrears installment scheme, now featuring daily and weekly payment options, is a major highlight, positioning it as an effective solution for maintaining active membership.
This innovation follows a thorough evaluation of previous programs, which clearly indicated that payment flexibility is key to improving compliance. With daily and weekly options, BPJS Kesehatan addresses the needs of diverse segments of society, from informal workers to entrepreneurs, who may have irregular income patterns.
How the Flexible Installment Scheme Works
The process to utilize this installment scheme is designed for participant convenience and simplicity. Participants with arrears exceeding three months can register through the updated Mobile JKN application.
Once logged into the Mobile JKN app, participants simply need to:
- Select the 'REHAB Program (Rencana Pembayaran Bertahap - Phased Payment Plan)' menu.
- Review the details of their arrears and available payment periods.
- Choose the daily or weekly installment option that best suits their financial capability. The system will automatically calculate the installment amount and a maximum payment duration of 24 months.
- Agree to the terms and conditions.
Positive Impact and Expert Endorsement
“This is a truly progressive and highly significant step,” stated Dr. Dian Setiadi, a health policy expert from the University of Indonesia, during a health forum in Jakarta earlier in 2026. “With such an adaptive scheme, there’s no longer any excuse for participants to delay payments, ensuring continuous health protection for millions. We have observed consistent improvements in compliance since this program was optimized.”
This flexible installment program is expected to significantly reduce the number of defaulting participants and reactivate the memberships of millions. Consequently, they can once again enjoy the healthcare facilities provided by BPJS Kesehatan, from primary care services to hospital referrals, without the worry of costs.
