BPJS Kesehatan has issued clarifications regarding administrative procedures and coverage limitations for the National Health Insurance (JKN) program in Indonesia. Initial updates focused on the regulation of control letters (surat kontrol), which must be issued by authorized medical facilities rather than at a participant's request. Starting 1 September 2026, these letters will no longer be issued on the same day as the initial service. Regarding facility management, the agency clarified that while participants can typically only change their primary health facility (FKTP) after three months, exceptions are made for relocations or work assignments. If a facility's cooperation ends due to licensing issues, BPJS Kesehatan will transition participants to other qualified facilities to ensure uninterrupted services. To maintain active membership, non-wage earners must pay monthly premiums by the 10th of each month. Failure to pay results in a temporary suspension of coverage on the first day of the following month. To reactivate status, participants must settle arrears—up to a maximum of 24 months—alongside the current month's premium.

Additionally, families must deactivate memberships via online services following a participant's death to prevent unnecessary billing.
