Utilization of mental health services in Indonesia is still low in rates, while the need for mental care services is relatively high. Poor mental conditions will affect individuals in deploying their abilities or potential, leading to daily struggles to cope with. Currently, the government is attempting to grant access to mental health services with the National Health Insurance (NHI) system in primary, secondary, and tertiary services. Implementing the NHI policy is expected to escalate the community’s access to mental health. Since NHI was implemented in 2014, no one has seen how NHI participants actively participate in mental health services. This study will reveal how the participants utilized NHI mental health services in 2020. This quantitative study used a nested case-control design to take secondary data on Social Health Insurance Administration Organization (BPJS Kesehatan) Sample Data for 2015-2020. The bivariate analysis results using the chi-square test point out a significant relationship between age, marital status, First Level Health Facilitytype, participant segmentation, with the utilization of mental health services. Meanwhile, the multivariate analysis using the logistic regression test results demonstrates that age is the most inf luential independent variable in uti-lizing NHI mental health services, specifically the unproductive age group (p-value < 0.001). © 2024, Universitas Negeri Semarang.
