BPJS News/Question

Markit

Was told today by a long time expat that expat like people with the 5 year Retirement KITAP are now also eligible to get BPJS local health insurance. Since yours-truly just got his 5 year retirement KITAP I thought I'd ask the most outspoken and intelligent bunch of studs and studesses that I know?

The best bet (assuming no virus, but what the hell, all medical plans have exclusions) is to have the F T S P insurance. What you ask is the F T S P insurance? It means having enough cash to go to Singapore.

The problem is you will have to face local healthcare in the "golden hour" ,otherwise you will not make to the plane ,and whos to say they will let you on board ,it is the captains right to refuse injured passengers . One of the negatives of living a developing country .

Good point. While it won't help with 'golden hour' interventions, it's worth considering a medical evac policy in case of something serious.

Ya I agree , but there are only so many medical jets in the world , so yes one has to face "local care" while waiting for the jet which could be a few days . There is also the problem with some medical issues you cannot fly , there is quite a list . so evacuation is not possible . The joys of living in developing countries .
