PT Timah Dirut, Dwiocar Jaksa – Bangkapos.com”>Harvey Moeis, Convicted in PT Timah Corruption Case, Revealed to be under Gov’t Health Insurance Scheme
In a surprising twist, it’s emerged that Harvey Moeis, the convicted perpetrator in a case involving corruptions related to mining operation permits (IUP) at PT Timah, is among the participants in the government’s health insurance scheme, BPJS Kesehatan, with his premiums being subsidized by the authorities. Rizzky Anugerah, the Head of Communications at BPJS Kesehatan, issued this confirmation.
Previously, rumors had circulated on social media that Moeis and his wife were included in the government’s health insurance scheme, known as the Budgetary Income Payer (PBI) Program, which is funded by regional budget (APBD). Moeis’ involvement in the program came under scrutiny following his frequent display of affluence and accusations of inflicting a loss of up to IDR 300 trillion on the nation.
According to Rizzky, Moeis’ inclusion in the PBI program is due to him being registered by the Jakarta Provincial Government. Consequently, the BPJS Kesehatan premiums for Moeis and his wife are covered by the Jakarta regional budget.
"Upon data verification, it was found that Harvey Moeis falls under the Pensioner APBD category," Rizzky confirmed on Sunday.
However, Rizzky chose not to reveal the date Moeis and his wife were registered as PBI participants. Neither did he confirm whether Moeis had benefited from the BPJS Kesehatan scheme.
Rizzky elaborated that eligibility for the PBI APBD program differs from that of the PBI Jaminan Kesehatan (JK) program, intended for impoverished individuals. The PBI APBD program is meant for all residents in a particular region who have not yet registered for the National Health Insurance (JKN) program and agree to be classified in the third health service package tier. Meanwhile, the PBI JK program is only open to the underprivileged as determined by the Integrated Data on Socioeconomic Conditions (DTKS).
Moeis recently received a sentence of 6.5 years imprisonment from the Jakarta Corruption Court in the PT Timah corruption case. In addition to the prison term, Moeis was fined IDR 1 trillion, with an alternative punishment of 6 months imprisonment, and ordered to pay a fine of IDR 210 billion as compensation, with an alternative punishment of 2 years imprisonment. The court’s ruling was less severe than the prosecution’s demand, which sought a 12-year prison sentence, a fine of IDR 1 trillion, with an alternative punishment of 1 year imprisonment, and a compensation of IDR 210 billion, with an alternative punishment of 6 years imprisonment.
