ABSTRAK The hospital claim process
starts with completing the document file as a condition for submitting a
claim by the hospital coding officer. A verifier verifies the claim file at
the BPJS Center. Verification is researching and checking the claim's
Completeness, validity, and feasibility. After verification, the claim file
is sent to the Branch Office / District / City Operational Office of BPJS
Kesehatan. The Completeness of the document file is an important part of the
claim process. If the Hospital can meet the Completeness of the documents, it
is likely that the faster the process of reimbursement of the cost of health
services that have been provided. The method used in this study is the mixed
method. The mixed method is a research method that combines quantitative
methods with qualitative methods to be used together in a research activity
so that more comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective data are obtained.
Hypothesis Results from First Hypothesis 1) Hypothesis Zero (Ho) There is no
relationship between the Completeness of the inpatient medical records of the
surgical care unit with the approval of the BPJS claim at Citama Hospital 2)
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) There is a relationship between the Completeness
of the inpatient medical records of the inpatient care unit with the approval
of the BPJS claim at Citama Hospital Based on the results of the Simple
Regression in the previous section, it can be concluded that Ho was
rejected,� Ha received. The
Completeness of the inpatient medical records of the inpatient care unit
significantly affects the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital. |

INTRODUCTION����������
Health services in Indonesia
cannot be separated from government programs, namely national health insurance
(JKN) and national health insurance (JKN). The implementation of JKN in
hospitals uses an insurance payment system. The payment method used in the national
health insurance program (JKN) at this time with a prospective payment method
is a method that refers to Casemix (Case by payment) or using the Case Base
Group (INA-CBGs) system. The INA-CBGs payment system uses claims that will
later receive reimbursement from BPJS for services provided to BPJS
participants (Mininjaya, 2012).
Submitting a certificate from
the Hospital to BPJS Kesehatan has several stages, including verification,
Completion of the administrative claim file for service administration
participation, and verification of health services. Suppose an incomplete claim
file is found in the verification process (NURKONITA, 2014). In that case, it will cause
delays in submitting a claim or even returning the file to the claim for delay
in submitting a claim, and this unclaimed file can cause material losses to the
Hospital.
The hospital claim process
starts with completing the document file as a condition for submitting a claim
by the hospital coding officer (Prapancha, n.d.). A verifier verifies the
claim file at the BPJS Center. Verification is researching and checking the
claim's Completeness, validity, and feasibility. After verification, the claim
file is sent to the BPJS Kesehatan Branch Office/Regency/City Operational
Office. The claim file that arrives at the BPJS Kesehatan Branch Office is
approved by the Head of the Referral Health Service Management Unit (MPKR) to
be submitted to the finance unit (Sembiring et al., 2019).
The Completeness of the
document file is an important part of the claim process. If the Hospital can
fulfill the Completeness of the documents, the reimbursement process for health
services provided will likely be faster. Several conditions must be completed
in the claim process, namely as follows: a claim submission form, softcopy of
the application output, original stamped receipt, proof of service that the
participant or family member has signed, and other Completeness required by
each claim bill. And the Completeness of DPJP in writing its Completeness in
the medical record (Cheah, 2000).
Problems commonly found in the
implementation of claim procedures are claim file problems, the number of
follow-up claims, inconsistency in the rates submitted by hospitals with INA
CBGs rates or paid by BPJS Kesehatan, irregularities in coding disease
diagnoses, and delays in payment of claims by BPJS Kesehatan. Therefore, good
management is important for BPJS Kesehatan (Chew et al., 2007).
The claim procedure is a
series of activities to research and prove that a transaction has occurred and
make the appropriate payment at a predetermined time. The claim procedure is
complex, from claims being accepted to claims being paid or rejected (Showalter, 2012).
Problem boundaries are used to
avoid deviations and widening of the subject matter so that the research is
more directed and focused and achieves the research objectives. Some of the
limitations of the problem in this study are as follows: Factors affecting the
settlement of BPJS claims to the approval of claims by verifiers include: a)
Incompleteness of the file provided, b) Wrong coding on Inacbgs application, c)
Inappropriate coding rules d) Medical resim files that are more than 2x24 hours
e) The processing time the file is compiled inputted until it is sent. Problem
Formulation By cooperating with BPJS Kesehatan, the Hospital is obliged to
provide services to BPJS Kesehatan participants. Then the Hospital has the
right to submit a claim for payment to BPJS for the service (Hussien et al., 2019).
METHODS
Conceptual Description Concept
of Claim i. Definition of Claim A claim is a bill for health care costs for
health insurance participants submitted individually or collectively by a
Health Service Provider (PPK). A claim is a request of one of the two parties
to the bond for its rights given to BPJS participants. However, in the
implementation, sometimes the payment of BPJS claims to hospitals is in
arrears, amounting to above 10% of the total claims. This has an impact on
hospital operations.
Research Objectives 1) General
Purpose Get an overview of the factors that affect the settlement of BPJS
claims at Citama Hospital in 2022 2) Special Purpose a. Get an overview of the
flow of the claim process at cinema hospital. b. Get an overview and analyze
input factors (Man: Coder, Verifier, DPJP), Material (medical record file, adm
file, receivables file), Method (Standard Operating Procedure), Machine (SIM
RS). c. Get an overview, analyze the process factors of completing the claim
file, and verify the file before being billed to BPJS. d. Get an overview and
analyze the output factors of the results of submitting a claim, whether it is
feasible, delayed payment (revision/confirmation), or not worth paying.
Scope of Research
This research was carried out
at Citama Hospital Jl. Pabuaran no 52, Bogor Regency, from July to August 2022.
General Provisions for Claims at BPJS (Kesehatan 1) Health facilities file a
monthly claim regularly by the 10th of the following month. 2) BPJS Kesehatan
must pay health facilities for services provided to participants no later than
15 (fifteen) working days after the claim documents are received in full at
BPJS Kesehatan Branch Offices/Regency/City Operational Offices 3) The Hospital
and BPJS Kesehatan keep all claims collection and fund liability documents.
They can be audited at any time by the authorities. 4) Expired claims six
months.
Based on the Ministry of
Health No. 4718 of 2021, it is stated that claim verification is carried out by
looking at three elements, namely the Completeness of participation
administration, patient service administration, and individual patient reports
by BPJS verifiers. Based on the 2014 BPJS Claim Verification Technical
guidelines, BPJS verifier officers will verify by matching the suitability of
the submitted claim file with predetermined requirements. If there is a
discrepancy, the verifier will return the claim file to the Hospital for
repairs. The claim request file corrected by the Hospital can be re-submitted
to be billed according to the predetermined flow. This claim submission file is
very important for the claim submission process because it is proof of patient
services carried out by the Hospital.
Concerning technical
guidelines for claims administration and verification of the National Health Insurance
program for the community, the Completeness of the documents for filing claims
is a letter of reference, examination, diagnostic support services, and medical
actions authorized by the doctor in charge. Based on the Minister of Health of
the Republic of Indonesia Number 903/Menkes/Per/2011 concerning Guidelines for
Implementing the National Public Health Insurance Program. If one of the
requirements needs to be included or the items need to be filled in completely,
it will result in the success of the claim process.
The Completeness of a medical
resume can be influenced by several factors, namely knowledge, attitudes, and
behavior. The impact that occurs if the medical resume is not complete, namely
the obstruction of the administration process, where the medical record
documents that should have been in the storage room but are still returned to
the doctor in charge to be completed, The obstruction of the insurance claim
process by a third party, namely BPJS due to the deposition of the principal diagnosis
or accompanied by a secondary/additional diagnosis will greatly affect the
amount of insurance claims submitted Completeness of medical resume can be
Concept: Looking for factors that affect the settlement of BPJS Kesehatan
claims at Citama Hospital.
Research Design
The method used in this study
is mixed methods. Mixed methods combine quantitative and qualitative methods to
be used in research to obtain more comprehensive, valid, reliable, and
objective data.
In this study, quantitative
data played a role in obtaining measurable data that was descriptive,
comparative, and associative. Qualitative data plays a role in proving,
deepening, expanding, weakening, and aborting quantitative data obtained.
The type of research used in
this study is observational analytics with a cross-sectional design. This study
simultaneously compares independent variables with dependent variables, aiming
to determine the relationship between independent variables (Completeness of
medical records and conformity of diagnosis codes with ICD 10) with dependent
variables (approval of BPJS claims).
����������� Based on the concept of variable thinking stated above,
the variable mindset studied is compiled as follows: Location and Time of
Research This research was carried out in the Medical Record Management section
of Citama Hospital. The implementation time of this study is July 2022 � August
2022. C. Population and Research Samples The population in this study is the
entire inpatient medical record file of the BPJS patient inpatient care unit in
January 2022-May 2022 at Citama Hospital, which the BPJS verifier returned. The
population in this study is the entire inpatient medical record file of the
BPJS patient inpatient care unit, which was returned by the BPJS verifier from
January to May 2022 at Citama Hospital. Data Collection of data taken both
qualitative data and quantitative data will support each other. In this study,
data collection was used several ways, namely: a) Questionnaire, which is data
collection using questions asked to respondents. The questionnaire was inspired
by the research of Shirin and Hanzaee (2011). Scale using the Likert scale. b)
Interview is a meeting of two people to exchange information and ideas through
question and answer to construct meaning in a particular topic. c)
Documentation, a method of collecting data obtained by viewing or analyzing
documents created by the subject himself or others on the subject. In this
study, a quantitative approach was used. Research with a quantitative approach
emphasizes its analysis of numerical data (numbers) processed with statistical
methods. A quantitative approach is carried out on inferential research (to
test the hypothesis) and leans the conclusions of the results on a probability
of error in rejecting the hypothesis nil. We will obtain the results of the
significance of group differences or relationships between the variables
studied with quantitative methods. In general, quantitative research is large
sample research.
The population is the entire
subject of study or object under study. The population in this study was all
specialist doctors at Citama Hospital. The criteria for inclusion and exclusion
of the samples taken are: 1. Inclusion criteria are general characteristics of
research subjects of an affordable target population and will be studied
(Nursalam, 2017). The inclusion criteria in this study are a. Willing to be a
respondent b. The doctor who fills out the inpatient medical resume c. The
doctor was present at the time of giving the questionnaire. 2. Exclusion
criteria The exclusion criterion is to eliminate or exclude subjects who do not
meet the inclusion criteria due to various causes (Nursalam, 2017).
Research Instruments This
study's instrument or data collection tool is a guideline observation checklist
sheet. The observation checklist is used to determine the Completeness of the
medical information on the medical resume. This observation checklist contains 1).
The existence of medical record completeness items: a) DRM No. b) Patient
Identity c) Service Date (exit date and entry date) d) Primary Diagnosis e)
Secondary Diagnosis and Action f) Clear Name and Signature of DPJP Doctor. 2).
Primary Diagnosis 3). Diagnosis Code 4). Conformity of Diagnosis Code 5). BPJS
Claim Approval.
Data Collection Techniques: 1).
Primary Data The primary data in this study is inpatient medical record data at
Citama Hospital for January 2022-May 2022, which was obtained by direct
observation and checking the Completeness of the file on the claim returned by
the BPJS verifier 2). Secondary Data The secondary data in this study are data
on the Completeness and timeliness of inpatient RM deposits based on patient
care rooms in January 2022- May 2022 and data on the Completeness and
timeliness of inpatient BRM deposits based on patient payment methods until
July 2022. Researchers use the data as preliminary data on initial
observations.
Data Presentation
The data from this study are
presented as graphs, frequency distribution tables, cross-tabulation tables,
and narratives to discuss the research results. Research Variables and
Operational Definition of Variables Free Variables Free variables are variables
because they affect or are independent variables or variables that are
influenced. The free variable in research is the doctor's knowledge and
attitude about medical records. Bound Variables A bound variable is dependent,
consequential, affected, or dependent. They are called hanging or dependent
variables because free variables or independent variables influence these
variables. The bound variable in this research is the doctor's actions in
filling out a medical resume.
From the results of observational research and
interviews conducted by the author, it is known that the implementation of BPJS
claims at Citama Hospital is carried out by the case mix section where this
section is in charge of managing files and submitting BPJS claims from coding
doctors' diagnoses/actions, verifying claim requirements, making txt files to
sending claim files to BPJS Bogor regency (Iman &
Wahyuni, 2022).
The BPJS claim flow is preceded by the coded RM
file a filing is made by attaching the terms of the claim, at the end of each
month before being sent to BPJS will be attached a txt file and a cover letter
from the Hospital then will only be sent to the cibinong branch of the BPJS
office (KHORIDA, 2019). There is a delay in submitting a claim,
including 1). Completeness of medical resume up to medical records over 2x24
hours 2). Time-consuming file scanning process 3). Maintenance of the innings
application for 21 days throughout Indonesia 4). Lack of appropriate personnel
competence in coding.
The Simple Regression Method was used in this
study to test whether there was an effect of Medical Record Completeness and
ICD Code 10 with BPJS Claim Approval (Sabarguna &
Wahyudi, 2020). From the results above, it can be seen
that the Completeness of medical records significantly affects BPJS Claim Approval
because the value of Sig. in the Coefficients table (0.000) is less than Alpha
5% (0.05) (Abdullah, 2019). Based on the Anova test, the Completeness
of Medical Records simultaneously has a significant effect on BPJS Claim
Approval because the value of Sig. in the Anova table (0.000) is smaller than
Alpha 5% (0.05). Based on the Coefficient of Determination, the Completeness of
Medical Records explains BPJS Claim Approval by 6% (0.060). The rest are
explained variables outside this study. From the above results, it can be seen
that ICD Code 10 is insignificant to BPJS Claim Approval because the value of
Sig. in the Coefficients table (0.908) is greater than Alpha 5% (0.05). Based
on the Anova test, ICD Code 10 is simultaneously insignificant against BPJS
Claim Approval because the value of Sig. in the Anova table (0.908) is greater
than Alpha 5% (0.05). Based on the Coefficient of Determination, ICD Code 10
describes BPJS Claim Approval by 0% (0.000). The rest is explained variables
outside this study.
The Independent T-test method was used in this study because the research data is categorical. After all, it consists of codes based on the Completeness of medical records and information on file errors and code errors in the BPJS claim approval data (EP, 2018). However, the results of the normality and homogeneity test are violated. In that case, the Mann-Whitney test is used in subsequent hypothesis testing because the Mann-Whitney Test is a non-parametric test that does not require a normality test or homogeneity test. First Hypothesis:� Null Hypothesis (Ho), There is no relationship between the Completeness of inpatient medical records and the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital. Alternative Hypothesis (Ha), there is a relationship between the Completeness of the inpatient medical record of the inpatient care unit with the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital (Bambona et al., 2022).
Based on the results of the Simple Regression
in the previous section, it can be concluded that Ho was rejected, and Ha was
accepted (EP, 2018). The Completeness of the inpatient
medical record of the inpatient care unit significantly affects the approval of
BPJS claims at Citama Hospital because the Sig value of the Coefficients table
is significant. Second Hypothesis 1) Null Hypothesis (Ho) There is no relationship between
writing a diagnosis code that complies with ICD 10 on the inpatient medical
record of the inpatient care unit with the approval of BPJS claims at Citama
Hospital 2) Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) There is a relationship between writing
a diagnosis code that complies with ICD 10 on the inpatient medical record of
the inpatient care unit with the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital
Based on the results of Mann-Whitney in the previous section, it can be
concluded that Ho was accepted, Ha was rejected, The writing of a diagnosis
code corresponding to ICD 10 on the inpatient medical record of the inpatient
care unit had no significant effect on the approval of BPJS claims at Citama
Hospital, the Sig value of the Coefficients table was not significant.
CONCLUSION
Conclusion After researching "Factors Affecting the Settlement of BPJS Claims against the Approval of BPJS Claims by BPJS Verifiers at Citama Hospital, Bogor Regency, it can be concluded as follows: 1). The flow of bpjs claim implementation. The flow of bpjs claim implementation at Citama Hospital has been implemented like the rules made by BPJS, and so far, there have been no significant problems. 2). Knowing the requirements for BPJS claims The requirements for submitting BPJS claims, both outpatient and inpatient at Citama Hospital, have been running according to the requirements set by BPJS 3). Knowing the factors causing pending claims based on 5 M:� a). Reviewed from the man factor (human), in terms of the quantity or adequacy of human resources, bpjs claims lack human resources. It has been met regarding the quality or qualifications of staff in the case mix section. The length of time for completing a medical resume is made by DPJP b). Money factor In terms of finances in the BPJS claim process, Citama Hospital is very supportive, such as the procurement of infrastructure and finances training held by BPJS. c). Machine Factor In terms of engines, RS Citama has met the needs of the machine. In this case, it is a computer (CPU), although there are still those that do not meet the specifications. d). Method Factor (Methode) In terms of methods, in this case, the rules or SOPs for the implementation of the BPJS claim process, at Citama Hospital there is no SOP for implementing BPJS claims. 4). Most doctors have sufficient knowledge of medical records. 5). Many doctors have a positive attitude toward medical records. 6). The doctor's actions in filling out the Completeness of the medical resume most doctors fill in the recording component completely and a small percentage of doctors fill out important reports completely. 7). There is a relationship between the Completeness of the inpatient medical record of the inpatient care unit with the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital. 8). There is a relationship between writing a diagnosis code that complies with ICD 10 on the inpatient medical record of the inpatient care unit with the approval of BPJS claims at Citama Hospital.
