YAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – BPJS Health contributions increase again. This increase is regulated in Perpres Number 64 of 2020 with respect to the Second Amendment to Perpres Number 82 of 2018 regarding Health Insurance.

The regulation was signed by President Joko Widodo on Tuesday (5/5/2020).

The increase in contributions for the independent participants of the segments of non-salaried workers (PBPU) and non-employees (BP) is regulated in Article 34. The increase will take effect on July 1, 2020.
