Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Medan City’s population-identity-based free healthcare program integrated with BPJS Kesehatan. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and triangulation involving twelve purposively selected informants. The findings show that the program achieved 98.96% universal health coverage and improved financial protection and healthcare access. However, implementation remains constrained by incomplete population data, limited referral understanding, unequal facility capacity, workforce burden, and unmet minimum service standards. The study concludes that program sustainability requires integrated data, stronger primary care, improved staffing, better coordination, and continuous quality-oriented evaluation across participating healthcare institutions in Medan.
