This study was conducted to identify the problems possibly causing pending claims faced by hospitals. The objectives of the study were to find out the factors causing inpatient pending claims for BPJS Health Insurance at the hospital. The article search method begins by identifying research articles on two databases, Google Scholar and Academia.edu with predetermined keywords.
