Description
This paper examines whether Indonesia needs a Health Endowment Fund (HEF) to find the efficiency and
effectiveness of the health cover fund. Since 2014, Indonesia has officially implemented the National Health
Insurance (NHI or Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional/JKN) according to Law No.40/2004. The implementation of NHI
is technically managed by Health Social Insurance Administration Organization (HSIAO), also known as Badan
Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Kesehatan. Since 2014, the trend of people living with non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) has increased between 2007 and 2014. This trend may lead to future consequences of potential
financial deficits for HSIAO. Furthermore, many countries, including Indonesia, have been facing fiscal shock due
to recessions from the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing deficits from health insurance claims. By employing
secondary data IFLS4, IFLS5, and BRIN survey data in 2020, this study investigates the effect of NCDs on
household expenditures to assess the need for HEF in Indonesia. Using regression analysis, the result showed that
NCD was associated with household’s per capita expenditure and access to health care. Moreover, NCDs harm
subjective health status. Therefore, HEF may be a long-term solution for the financial burden that HSIAO may
face mitigating fiscal shock for the government budget.
