Hello, I'm going to live in Indonesia and I'd like some information about health care in Indonesia. Do I need insurance to live there? If so, do I need local insurance or private insurance? What are the advantages? Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for your message! Moving to Indonesia is a great adventure, but you need to be well prepared, especially when it comes to your health.
Although health insurance in Indonesia is not officially compulsory, it is highly recommended, if not essential, for expatriates. The public health system, reserved mainly for residents benefiting from the local BPJS program, remains largely inaccessible to foreigners. Moreover, public hospitals are often overcrowded, with limited equipment and long waiting times.
Private establishments offer a much better standard of care, but charges are high, and payment or a guarantee of coverage is often required before any intervention. Without insurance, hospitalization can quickly put a strain on your budget.
That's why international health insurance is the ideal solution: it gives you access to the best private clinics, in Indonesia or elsewhere in the world, depending on the plan you choose. At Mondassur, we offer the Gold Expat insurance for expats in Indonesia, with several levels of cover to suit your needs and budget.
