participant awareness to pay monthly contribution fund on time will arise for the
sake of health services to be obtained. However, the change in the amount of fine
75
to 2,5% from the total cost of hospitalization is different from President Regulation
No. 111 of 2013. But one same thing is the time limit for no more than 3 (three)
months and for Non-Wage Recipients Worker (Pekerja Bukan Penerima Upah, or
known as PBPU) and Non-Workers (Bukan Pekerja, or known as BP) are given 6
(six) months deadline.
According to National Social Security (BPJS) Act No. 24 of 2011 Article

participant in Social Security Administrative Body (BPJS Kesehatan) is a
mandatory. In addition, there is no limit time in membership of Social Security
Administrative Body (BPJS Kesehatan).
“For participation in Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health
Program (BPJS Kesehatan) will not be broken, or other words, it will continue and
the participants can not stop” (Buan, personal communication, November 27,
2018).
Because the participation of Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN
Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) is mandatory, that means each participant has
an obligation to pay monthly contribution fund without knowing when to stop
because it applies for the entire life, then the participants will get health care
services. The nominal amount for monthly contributions are divided into certain
categories set by President Regulation No. 111 of 2013 on The Amendment of
President Regulation No. 12 of 2013. The certain nominal monthly contribution

From the service category described in the Table 4.2, it can be understood
that the agreement between Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health
Program (BPJS Kesehatan) and the participants is a health financing agreement
where the participants pays their monthly contribution fund to Social Security
Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan), or can be said
that Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS
Kesehatan) collects monthly contribution fund from the participants and which bear
the participants contribution fund and pay it to the service intermediary who has
cooperated with Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program
(BPJS Kesehatan). This deal flow can be explained through the Figure 4.2.
“So the monthly contribution fund paid by the participants to Social
Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program will be collected, then the
health care facilities that have handled participants make billings, we pay them from
the fund. So the cost that the service charge to Social Security Administrative Body
for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan), we do not ask for single fee to the
participants. We did not make the health care facilities because our focus is on the
financing system” (Buan, personal communication, November 27, 2018).
89
Figure 4. 2 Flow of Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program
Based on National Social Security (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial,
or known as BPJS) Act No. 24 if 2011, Article 43 stated that the allocation of funds
were intended to finance contributory health insurance, Social Security
Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) operational cost,
and investment with goal of funding social development for the society. National
Social Security (BPJS) Act No. 24 of 2011, Article 40 also explained that Social
Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan)
separates between their assets and social security assets. This aims to ensure that
social security assets and their development are intended for social security (dana
amanah or known as trust fund).
“Based on law, monthly contribution fund is a mandate from the
participants and are purely used for the participants health care services. In terms
of the monthly contribution fund should not used by any party, including paying
the country’s debt” (Buan, personal communication, November 27, 2018).

Monthly contribution fund collected from the participants are managed by
Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan)
based on Social Security (BPJS) Act No. 24 of 2011, Paragraph B through short
and long-term investment by considering the aspects of liquidity, solvability,
prudence, data security and adequate results and aims to increase funding power for
the participants. So basically, financing of health care insurance provided by Social
Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program is public funds that are
returned back to the participants in form of the health care insurance.
“Because the principle used in Social Security Administrative Body for
SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) is mutual cooperation, that means comes
from the participants and return back to the participants again” (Buan, personal
commuication, November 27, 2018).
The principle of mutual cooperation carry out by Social Security
Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) indicates that
participants pay for themselves for the purpose of health care services and the
government only served to provide help for those who can not afford and also make
the regulations regarding Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health
Program (BPJS Kesehatan) for the sake of public interest.
91
4.4 Plan for The Development of Social Security Administrative Body for
SJSN Health Progrm (BPJS Kesehatan) based on Islamic Finance
Principles
The problems that are sticking in various media on 24 May, 2017 at Bogor
Regional General Hospital (Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah, or known as RSUD
Bogor), on 28 May, 2017 at Permata Hospital (Rumah Sakit Permata) Pamulang
and on 20 September, 2017 at Bintan Regional General Hospital (Rumah Sakit
Umum Daerah, or known as RSUD Bintan) regarding the cases that doctors are
refused to handle the patients due to statements that “Social Security Administrative
Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) contains usury which is
forbidden in Islam, that is not an authority for local and national level of Social
Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program, but it is a matter for the
hospital themselves.
“That is not one of our business, that is an authority of the revelant hospital.
We cooperated with the hospital as a health care service provider, business-to-
business only. For contracts and other matters are up to the hospital. Generally, the
doctors who refuse will be deactivated by the relevant hospital” (Buan, personal
communication, November 27, 2018).
The basic problems that arised and become polemic in the society are
eventually triggered a meeting held with National Social Security Council (Dewan
Jaminan Sosial Nasional, or known as DJSN), OJK, and the Indonesia Ulema
Council (Majelis Ulama Indonesia, or known as MUI) with Social Security
Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program and resulted in several decisions
that,
92
“Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program (BPJS
Kesehatan) can not be said to be haram and prohibited because there is an element
of mutual cooperation and helping the others. In addition, in the registration form,
it is now written about where the monthly contribution fund will be distributed, so
the information is more transparent. Therefore, a fine of 2% per month which is
said to be usury has been removed and changed to 2.5 % if only the participant is
hospitalized” (Buan, personal communication, November 27, 2018).
Although the bad news about Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN
Health Program (BPJS Kesehatan) spread widely, that does not affect in number of
participants registered every month, so Social Security Administrative Body for
SJSN Health Program is unlikely to be made.
“There is no decrease in number of the participants who registering
themselves to us. Instead, they are being worried about the issue and will result in
the elimination of Social Security Administrative Body for SJSN Health Program
(BPJS Kesehatan) especially for those with economic difficulties” (Buan, personal
communication, November 27, 2018).
