BOGOR – Bogor Regent Ade Yasin said that so far the claim for the cost of caring for COVID-19 patients worth IDR 261 billion has not been paid by the Ministry of Health. These arrears disrupt the process of health services provided in the region to the people of the region.
“I asked for an acceleration of direct payments to the coordinating minister of maritime affairs and investment, Mr. Luhut Binsar Panjaitan. We are in great need of medicine, oxygen and the like. This cannot be achieved, the money has not been disbursed, ”said Ade Yasin, quoted by Antara, Monday (July 5th).
According to him, the 261 billion idr was to be received from the Ministry of Health for the four regional general hospitals of the regency of Bogor. Of this total, the number of claims that are still in dispute is approximately IDR 200 billion, while IDR 61.9 billion have passed verification but have not been paid.
The summary of the claim, worth IDR 61.9 billion, which successfully passed the verification of BPJS Kesehatan (insurance) and the Ministry of Health, is divided into IDR 40.5 billion idr of the Cibinong Hospital, IDR 7.5 billion from Ciawi Hospital, IDR 6.4 billion from Cileungsi Hospital and IDR IDR 7.9 billion from Leuwiliang Hospital.
“Hospitals are accepting patients with COVID-19. They receive the greatest possible service because they are taken care of by the Ministry of Health. But it turns out that many submitted applications were rejected, the difference is more than half, ”said the head of the COVID-19 working group of the Bogor regency.
Ade Yasin revealed that not all funding requests submitted by hospitals can be 100% liquidated. Because only COVID-19 patients who have undergone treatment for 14 days can be claimed for the costs of the treatment.
“Hospitals are limited in their facilities. So, each COVID-19 patient with moderate and severe symptoms who are then treated, before 14 days the symptoms disappear or become mild, We recommend that you go home and isolate yourself, so that other patients with moderate and severe symptoms can be treated. There is a priority scale that is served, ”she said.
Today, she said, with increasingly deflated finances, hospitals are struggling with the availability of existing medical support equipment. Ade Yasin also hopes the central government pays attention to local governments.
