        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Health is working to standardise hospital service tariffs to minimise cost discrepancies across different regions. This initiative involves transitioning from the INA-CBGs payment mechanism to the Indonesian Diagnosis Related Groups (iDRG) system under new presidential regulations.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Health is continuously making efforts to encourage\nthe standardisation of hospital service tariffs. This is being\nimplemented to reduce cost disparities between hospitals in various\nregions.<\/p>\n<p>The Director of Referral Health Service Governance at the Ministry of\nHealth, Ockti Palupi Rahayuningtyas, stated that tariff standardisation\nremains a priority and needs to be implemented within Presidential\nRegulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024. Under this regulation,\nhealthcare facilities will apply the Indonesian Diagnosis Related Groups\n(iDRG) tariff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce the National Health Insurance Presidential Regulation is\nsigned, the INA-CBGs (Indonesian Case Based Groups) payment system will\nbe replaced by iDRG, which will be categorised into strata: basic,\nintermediate, main, and comprehensive,\u201d she explained during the Health\nInsurance Ecosystem Forum 2026 on Wednesday (3\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>iDRG is a payment mechanism for healthcare services provided to\nfacilities, transitioning from the previous INA-CBGs system. iDRG groups\ndiagnoses and medical procedures based on the similarity in the use of\nservice resources. This system is used to determine the amount of\nINA-CBGs claim payments to healthcare facilities, particularly for\ninpatient services under the National Health Insurance (JKN) scheme.<\/p>\n<p>She revealed that every region is mandated to establish a national\ntariff pattern, which is updated every two to three years. \u201cBy unifying\nthe structure of the tariff pattern, we hope the gap will not be too\nwide. I believe we will continue to evaluate this continuously so that\nthe disparity between regional tariffs is minimised,\u201d said Ockti.<\/p>\n<p>Ockti explained that currently, patients at hospitals with BPJS\nKesehatan membership are charged INA-CBG rates, which serve as the\nstandard set between hospitals. \u201cThis is the government\u2019s effort to\nensure that tariffs remain uniform across all regions,\u201d Ockti\nconcluded.<\/p>",
