Brilio.net - BPJS Kesehatan is one of the important programs that provides access to health services to the community. However, sometimes the BPJS Kesehatan membership status becomes inactive, either because you forgot to pay your contribution or because your employment status changed. If your status is inactive, it is important to reactivate it immediately so that you can continue to enjoy the health services provided.
Reactivating inactive BPJS Kesehatan is actually quite easy, and can be done online or offline. So, why can BPJS Kesehatan become inactive? Usually, this happens because of unpaid contribution arrears within a certain period of time.
BPJS Kesehatan gives a deadline of up to 6 months for payment of contributions before the status changes to inactive. In addition, changes in employment status, such as quitting work or moving to another company, can also cause BPJS Kesehatan to become inactive if not taken care of immediately.
But before that, you should check first whether your BPJS Kesehatan membership status is still active or not. If it turns out to be inactive, then you can continue to the process of reactivating it.
Here's how to activate inactive BPJS Health online and offline, brilio.net adapted from various sources, Monday (2/9).
