Ultimately, the issuance of this Financial Services Authority Regulation becomes a strategic step to ensure that the national health insurance industry remains stable, healthy, and able to support the sustainability of the health financing system in Indonesia. Generally, this Financial Services Authority Regulation regulates mechanisms for conducting the health insurance business line and Health Insurance Products, risk management management in conducting the health insurance business line, Utilization Review mechanisms, roles of parties in strengthening the health insurance ecosystem, coverage of KAPJ, and the role of Companies in health education and promotion.
