JAKARTA: Indonesia will raise premiums for health insurance provided by a state company but also increased subsidies for the lowest rate, impacting tens of thousands of policyholders, as the country battles the coronavirus, a minister said on Wednesday.
The government will hike by 65% the lowest premium managed by insurer BPJS Kesehatan to 42,000 rupiah (US$2.83) a month starting in July, but will subsidise all of the increase, according to a copy of a government regulation backing the measure.
