Abstract Background: The Indonesian government has been implementing the National Health Insurance Policy (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional-JKN) since 2014. The utilization of family planning service is one of the programs to increase maternal and child health status that is included in the benefit package in JKN. This study aimed to describe determinants and to evaluate JKN based on equity indicators, especially in family planning services. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2012-2016 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) of Indonesia. Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) and Long-acting contraceptives (LACs) use were used as indicators to evaluate family planning utilization. Chi-square and logistic regression tests were used to analyze the data. Respondents were married women between 15 and 49 years of age. Results: There was no progress in CPR after the implementation of JKN. At the national level, CPR decreased within five years (2012-2016). Decreasing in urban areas and in the group that does not have health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that has health insurance. Utilization of non-LACs, especially injection (56%-57%) and pill (21%-24%), were still high within 2012-2016. At the national level, LACs use increased 3.18% between 2012-2016 (15.54%-18.72%). Increasing in urban areas and in the group that has subsidized health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that does not have subsidized. In 2016, the geography factor (rural-urban) and household economic status associated negatively with the use of overall contraceptive method (p<0.05). Conversely, all the determinants were positively associated with LACs use (p<0.05). Conclusions: Up to 2016, the JKN program did not increase CPR. Conversely, the JKN program obtained only small increases in LACs use. LACs use in rural areas is less than in urban areas. JKN program can increase LACs use in the group that has subsidized health insurance. CPR and LACs coverage could increase through health system improvement, and the societal norms approach. Health system improvement is operationalized through improving supply-side and regulations, increasing coordination among multiple agencies in the family planning program.

Increasing in urban areas and in the group that has subsidized health insurance were more than in rural areas and in the group that does not have subsidized. Health insurance ownership, the geography factor, education, household economic correlated with contraceptive use (p<0.05) in 2015 and 2016, but this correlation was inversely proportional. Conversely, all of the determinants were positively associated with LACs use (p<0.05). Conclusions Up to 2016, the JKN program did not increase CPR. Conversely, the JKN program obtained only small increases in LACs use. LACs use in rural areas is less than in urban areas. JKN program can increase LACs use in the group that has subsidized health insurance. CPR and LACs coverage could be increased by health system improvement and the social approaches, specifically through improving supply-side and regulations, increasing coordination among multiple agencies in the family planning program, and promoting family planning based on values and norms in the society.

The Indonesian government has been implementing the National Health Insurance ( Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional [JKN]) policy since 2014. This study aimed to evaluate JKN based on equity indicators, especially in skilled birth attendants (SBAs) use. The data were obtained from National Socio-Economic Survey of Indonesia during 2012 to 2016. To analyze the data, χ2 and logistic regression tests were applied. The respondents were married mothers from 15 to 49 years who had delivered a baby. Deliveries by SBAs increased at the national level, but this achievement showed significant variation according to geographical location. The coverage of deliveries by SBAs in the eastern areas of Indonesia was still much lower than those in the western areas. All factors determining SBAs utilization (health insurance ownership, education, household economic status, and geography factor) indicated the positive correlation ( P < .05). The inequity of SBA use in differences in geographical location and socioeconomic status continues to occur after the implementation of JKN.

Enforcement of national health insurance organized through Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Kesehatan (BPJS) experiences various polemics, one of which relates to financing for midwifery care listed in Permenkes No. 52 of 2016 concerning health service fare standards in the health insurance program, whether the standard rate can cover the needs of services provided by midwives in rural or urban areas or not. The result found that there is no difference in midwifery care fare between urban and rural areas (p>0.05), but there are differences in midwifery care fare between rural and BPJS fare standard (p<0.05) and between urban fare and BPJS fare standard (p< 0.05)

This article aims to examine the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) policy from the perspective of local communities. Qualitative data from 9 key informant interviews and 72 community respondents in 9 focus group discussions were analyzed using a thematic network approach. The focus-group discussions took place in seven different communities in seven regions of Ghana. The findings noted a disconnection between NHIS policy and community life. More so, the findings showed an explicit link between equity and access with its impacts on health outcomes. The qualitative results indicated lack of voice and understanding as the features limiting people from accessing the NHIS facilities. Understanding of equity as a key theme revealed, first, lack of stakeholder engagement and consultation or participation in the NHIS decision-making process. Second, it was established that while the policy indicated a will to include all the core poor for an equitable NHIS, there is lack of willingness to implement this aim fully. Finally, despite being a pro-poor intervention by name, practical management of the NHIS is transmitted down vertical silos from the national level, with the lack of joined-up government at the center undermining local partnerships. Thus, not only are national expectations being dashed locally, local expectations are dashed nationally. This article proposes that community viewpoints should be given higher priority given that NHIS has since its inception been associated with medical treatments and biomedical paradigm. Promoting community participation, understanding, and voices should be recognized to shape the future NHIS policy and practice.

IntroductionThis paper examines the relationship between national health insurance enrolment and the utilisation of inpatient and outpatient healthcare for older adults in rural areas in Ghana. The Ghanaian National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) aims to improve affordability and increase the utilisation of healthcare. However, the system has been criticised for not being responsive to the needs of older adults. The majority of older adults in Ghana live in rural areas with poor accessibility to healthcare. With an ageing population, a specific assessment of whether the scheme has benefitted older adults, and also if the benefit is equitable, is needed.MethodsUsing the Ghanaian Living Standards Survey from 2012 to 2013, this paper uses propensity score matching to estimate the effect of enrolment within the NHIS on the utilisation of inpatient and outpatient care among older people aged 50 and over.ResultsThe raw results show higher utilisation of healthcare among NHIS members, which persists after matching. NHIS members were 6% and 9% more likely to use inpatient and outpatient care, respectively, than non-members. When these increases were disaggregated for outpatient care, the non-poor and females were seen to benefit more than their poor and male counterparts. For inpatient care, the benefits of enrolment were equal by poverty status and sex. However, overall, poor older adults use health services much less than the non-poor older adults even when enrolled.ConclusionThe results indicate that NHIS coverage does increase healthcare utilisation among rural older adults but that inequalities remain. The poor are still at a great disadvantage in their use of health services overall and benefit less from enrolment for outpatient care. The receipt of healthcare is significantly influenced by a set of auxiliary barriers to access to healthcare even where insurance should remove the financial burden of ad hoc out of pocket payments.
