Faskes 1 stands for Level 1 Health Facility, which includes various types of facilities that provide health services to the community. One of the important levels of health facilities is level 1 health facilities. This article will discuss what level 1 health facilities are, the differences between them and level 2 and 3 health facilities, as well as how level 1 health facilities relate to BPJS and employee benefits in terms of group health and employee insurance.
What is Health Facility Level 1?
Level 1 health facilities are primary health care units closest to the community. These facilities include health centers, clinics, or general practitioner practices. Level 1 health facilities aim to provide basic health services to the community, including general examinations, light medication, immunizations, pregnancy checks, and medical consultations. Level 1 health facilities play an important role in the health care system, as they are the main entry point for people to receive medical care.
Differences in Level 1, 2 and 3 Health Facilities
The main difference between level 1, 2 and 3 health facilities lie in the level of complexity of the services provided. Level 2 health facilities include hospitals, specialist clinics, and maternal and child health centers. Level 3 health facilities include advanced level referral hospitals, such as regional or national hospitals equipped with medical equipment and more specialist medical personnel.
Level 1 health facilities are usually the first-place people visit when experiencing health problems. If necessary, patients can be referred to level 2 or 3 health facilities for further treatment. This referral is usually done through the health facility code given by the level 1 health facility to the patient.
Level 1 Health Facilities and BPJS
In Indonesia, the Social Security Administering Body (BPJS) for Health is the institution that administers the national health insurance program. BPJS Health provides access to health services to participants registered in this program.
Level 1 health facilities have an important role in collaboration with BPJS Kesehatan. People who are BPJS Kesehatan participants can take advantage of level 1 health facilities as an entry point to get primary health services. BPJS Kesehatan cooperates with various level 1 health facilities, such as puskesmas and clinics, to provide affordable and quality health services for participants.
Employee Benefits in Group Health and Employee Insurance
Level 1 health facilities also have an important role in providing employee benefits in terms of group health and employee insurance. Many companies provide group health programs and employee insurance as one of the facilities for their employees. Within this framework, companies can cooperate with level 1 health facilities to provide primary health services to their employees.
Employee benefits in group health and employee insurance include easy and affordable access to basic health services, routine check-ups, minor medications, and disease prevention. By using level 1 health facilities, employees can take advantage of health facilities that are close to where they live or work, making it easier for them to get the health care they need without having to incur high costs.
