Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between income (p = 0.008) and motivation (p = 0.000) and contribution compliance. Conversely, knowledge (p = 0.740) and service quality (p = 0.118) did not show a significant relationship. The study concluded that there is a relationship between income and motivation and compliance with independent BPJS contributions among patients using health services in the Kapontori Community Health Center, Buton Regency.]]>
