Abstract. Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial /National Social Security Agency (BPJS) is a public agency
established to implement the social security program. It consists of the BPJS for Health and the BPJS for
Manpower. The BPJS for Health is expected to commence on 1 January 2014. The health insurance prepared
through BPJS is in the form health protection for participants to get health care benefits and protection to meet
the basic needs of health care. It is provided to every person who has paid fees or whose contributions are paid
by the government. This study is performed to assess the willingness of Indonesian to participate in a BPJS
health. A cross-sectional study was performed between April and May 2014 with 246 randomly selected
respondents using the two-stage cluster sampling method. The respondents were asked the person’s willingness
to pay for the described BPJS plan and then assessed using the contingent valuation method in an ex-ante
bidding game approach until the maximum amount they would be willing to pay to obtain such a service was
agreed upon. In the conclusion, our study findings suggest that slightly most of the participants (36.6%)
preferred to pay the premium rate at 25,500 IDR. This study also found that the average monthly amount of the
Indonesian people to join BPJS for Health program were willing to pay was estimated to be 77,437.50 IDR for
group 1 participants, 47,946.43 IDR for the group 2 participants and 30,450 IDR for the group 3 participants for
BPJS for Health program. Based on the likelihood ratio test, the result shown that all the hypothesized factors
simultaneously and significantly affected the willingness of Indonesian to pay the premium rate of BPJS for
health program. Those who have attained higher education and have occupation would be more likely to join
BPJS for Health program.
