Representatives of PT. BUMIDA who attended the event were Bayu Aditya Nugroho, Head of Marketing and Communication Section, and Mrs. Kitut as Supervisor/Consultant. In her explanation, Mrs. Kitut said that the insurance protection provided is valid for 24 hours in one full year and covers several conditions, including death or permanent disability due to accidents, accidents without permanent disability, to diseases that require hospitalization such as typhoid fever.
In addition, students who have registered in the BPJS program can also submit a double claim for additional protection. For the claim submission process, students only need to attach a receipt for hospital payments. If the receipt is not available because it has been covered by BPJS, then a certificate from the hospital stating that the patient has been covered by BPJS for a certain period can be used as a substitute for the receipt.
