Returnees Can Still Access BPJS Health Services During Eid Holiday Without Domicile Restrictions

Jakarta – The Chief Executive of BPJS Kesehatan, Prihati Pujowaskito, announced that returnees will continue to receive National Health Insurance (JKN) services in their home regions during the 2026 Eid holiday period.

“JKN service access points are available throughout Indonesia without restrictions based on the member’s home domicile. Additionally, BPJS Kesehatan mobile health posts will be stationed in high-traffic areas,” he said during a press conference on mudik service preparations in Jakarta on Monday.

Eight BPJS Kesehatan mobile health posts will be available to the public during the Eid holiday, providing services from 13-26 March 2026.

“These posts offer health consultations, relaxation facilities for travellers, basic health screenings, medication provision, ambulance services, and simple emergency care,” he explained.

The mobile posts will be located at Merak Port in Banten, Pulo Gebang Terminal in East Jakarta, Cipularang Toll Rest Area 88A in Purwakarta, West Java, Cipali Toll Rest Area 166A in Majalengka, West Java, Ungaran Toll Rest Area 429A in Semarang, Central Java, Masaran Toll Rest Area 519A in Sragen, Central Java, Purabaya Terminal in Sidoarjo, East Java, and Soekarno-Hatta Port in Makassar, South Sulawesi.

Pujowaskito explained that travellers experiencing fatigue or dizziness will have their vital signs, blood pressure, and medical history checked to receive initial treatment at the BPJS Kesehatan posts.

“We will provide ease of service access even during the mudik period. We have Call Centre 165 services, Pandawa services, and Mobile JKN services. All of these aim to simplify access to membership services,” he added.

Meanwhile, BPJS Kesehatan’s Director of Membership, Akmal Budi Yulianto, noted that three 24-hour services will be provided by BPJS Kesehatan during the 2026 Eid holiday.

“Three key services will be our focus: first, administrative services – many BPJS members are unsure whether their membership is active or inactive, which this service can address. The second is information services, and the third is complaint services,” said Akmal.
