Cost Analysis of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in Indonesia.

Objective: The cost of treating chronic kidney disease requires large funds. Chronic kidney disease financing ranks 2nd in BPJS as the highest financing. All cost components in the treatment of chronic kidney disease are considered high, so adjustments and efficiency are needed. This study aims to perform a cost analysis in chronic kidney patients. In this article, we will discuss the cost components in treatment and see whether there are differences in the cost of treatment in each hospital. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional design with a hospital perspective and was conducted in 6 hospitals selected based on class in different regions: Sardjito Central General Hospital (class A), Yogyakarta Regional General Hospital (class B) and PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital (private class) represent hospitals in regional 1. Meanwhile, Makassar Central General Hospital (class A), Labuang Hospital Baji (class B) and Faisal Islamic Hospital (private class) represent hospitals in regional 3. The study lasted for 14 months from October 2019-December 2020. The total sample involved in this study was 582 samples. The cost components analyzed include hemodialysis costs, serious procedures and operations, services, radiology, laboratories, blood transfusions, drugs, medical devices, hospitalization and supplies. Results: Chronic kidney patient profile data, calculations and cost components are presented descriptively. The Mann-Whitney test was used to see whether there were differences in costs between hospitals in each region. The results showed that the total cost of treating chronic kidney disease was higher in class A hospitals compared to class B and private class hospitals. Conclusion: The highest cost component is the cost of hemodialysis, followed by severe procedures and services. The highest total cost of hemodialysis reached Rp. Rp.840,132,546, heavy action Rp. 423,156,000 and services Rp. 792,155,000. The results of statistical tests showed that there were differences in the cost of treating chronic kidney disease in hospitals in regional 1 and regional 3 (p < 0.05).

The effect of health insurance and socioeconomic status on women's choice in birth attendant and place of delivery across regions in Indonesia: a multinomial logit analysis.

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that women gave birth in diverse types of health facilities and were assisted by various types of health providers. This study examines how these choices are influenced by the Indonesia national health insurance programme (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN)), which aimed to provide equitable access to health services, including maternal health. METHODS: Using multinomial logit regression models, we examined patterns and determinants of women's choice for childbirth, focusing on health insurance coverage, geographical location and socioeconomic disparities. We used the 2018 nationally representative household survey dataset consisting of 41 460 women (15-49 years) with a recent live birth. RESULTS: JKN coverage was associated with increased use of higher-level health providers and facilities and reduced the likelihood of deliveries at primary health facilities and attendance by midwives/nurses. Women with JKN coverage were 13.1% and 17.0% (p<0.05) more likely to be attended by OBGYN/general practitioner (GP) and to deliver at hospitals, respectively, compared with uninsured women. We found notable synergistic effects of insurance status, place of residence and economic status on women's choice of type of birth attendant and place of delivery. Insured women living in Java-Bali and in the richest wealth quintile were 6.4 times more likely to be attended by OBGYN/GP and 4.2 times more likely to deliver at a hospital compared with those without health insurance, living in Eastern Indonesia, and in the poorest income quantile. CONCLUSION: There are large variations in the choice of birth attendant and place of delivery by population groups in Indonesia. Evaluation of health systems reform initiatives, including the JKN programme and the primary healthcare strengthening, is essential to determine their impact on disparities in maternal health services.

Factors Associated with Willingness to Pay for Cost-Sharing under Universal Health Coverage Scheme in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

BACKGROUND: National Health Insurance (NHI) in Indonesia requires an appropriate cost-sharing policy, particularly for diseases that require the largest financing. This study examined factors that influence willingness to pay (WTP) for cost-sharing under the universal health coverage scheme among patients with catastrophic illnesses in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study using structured questionnaires through direct interviews. The factors related to the WTP for cost-sharing under the NHI scheme in Indonesia were identified by a bivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Two out of every five (41.2%) participants had willingness to pay for cost-sharing. Sex [AOR = 0.69 (0.51, 0.92)], education [AOR = 1.54 (0.67, 3.55)], family size [AOR = 1.71 (1.07, 2.73)], occupation [AOR = 1.35 (0.88, 2.07)], individual income [AOR = 1.50 (0.87, 2.61)], household income [AOR = 1.47 (0.90, 2.39)], place of treatment [AOR = 2.54 (1.44, 4.45)], a health insurance plan [AOR = 1.22 (0.87, 1.71)], and whether someone receives an inpatient or outpatient service [AOR = 0.23 (0.10, 0.51)] were found to affect the WTP for a cost-sharing scheme with p < 0.05. CONCLUSION: Healthcare (place of treatment, health insurance plan, and whether someone receives an inpatient or outpatient service) and individual socioeconomic (sex, educational, family size, occupational, income) factors were significantly related to the WTP for cost-sharing.
