Bitcoin Forum

I am a person working in the health sector. I am looking forward to one day co-bitcoin be used to pay for medical examination and treatment and health care services.

It takes time to get to that era. But actually it does not matter when your workplace agency can receive payment with bitcoin.
for now the decision is still private so it is not possible there will be intervention from other parties.
Unlike when the government has made a decision by making the regulation, it will be very different from what will happen later.

Bitcoin is not used in medical billing because bitcoin is unstable. In hospital bills sometimes they need the tangible payment and with cryptocurrency due to lack of regulations and policies still have no stranglehold on what the price or value of bitcoin is in case of a drop or rise. That is why medical institutions or the other corporations even the bamks in the governments still have no way of accepting yhek just because of how it currently is fluid and elastic on ints worth

I look forward to one day my government and the agency where I work will accept it. I also understand that decisions are still private and that interference from stakeholders is difficult. But I hope the era will soon come

I do not think that this day will come. Because corrupt officials, not profitable transparency of the operation with bitcoin.

      In my own opinion bitcoin is not ready to use in medical billing because it is still on progress. Bitcoin continue to develop for payment system. It is already use in other country as payment for electric bills,water bills,buy loads and many more and i think it will be use as payment in other forms like medical billings soon. Let us hope that it will be use someday for a lot of billings so that we can pay easily using this bitcoin. Bitcoin is very useful and helpful,it is really a blessing for us.

Why would hospitals start accepting Bitcoin? Hospitals need to be able to spend their money in order to buy things needed to keep it running. Bitcoin is not widely accepted and thus it is a bad idea.  Many people don't believe in Bitcoin and those who are responsible for hospital's money also probably don't. It is still to early to implement Bitcoin in such important places. We don't know what might happen in the next years to it due to unclear regulations.

then why don't you start from yourself?

that is the problem with most cases who ask about adoption, everyone should start from their own. start accepting bitcoin as payment, start asking people to pay you as payment (like asking your employee), start spending your bitcoin wherever you can, start asking others to accept bitcoin payments.

It isn't yet. But I know that there is going to be a cryptocurrency that will be use as a payment method for that kind of thing.

seems interesting if Bitcoin is used as a means of payment Bitcoin in the field of health in the hospital. This proves Bitcoin is progressing very rapidly and makes a positive trend that affects the current Bitcoin price

it will come soon maybe not just bitcoin but some other crytocurrency out there. maybe someday there will be project that would deal such kind of payment... with the advent of so many technology today and the growing nimbers of alternatives coin. maybe there will be company that would venture such kind of business.

I think it is hard to use and accept bitcoin as a payment in medical expenses. Bitcoin is unstable and it will be hard for medical establishments to use it in times they need some facilities and improvements. Also bitcoin's volatility is another risk that medical establishments may encounter the moment they accept bitcoin as a payment.

I think to realize it all takes a long time and process because it takes the readiness of the system but the earliest we need legalization from the state, and I think the government regulation will be a difficult barrier for us to face, but I am optimistic it will happen someday and it will facilitate our life in the field of health
 

until now in my country that is INDONESIA, can not use direct bitcoin to do medical, must be done through market exchange indodax.com indonesia.

Because we know that it is hard to use and its only accept in few countries so that its impossible to use as medical billing also bitcoin is not that stable to use.

Because obviously he does not own the hospital and thus he can't just start accepting bitcoin for medical billing?

---

I think this comes down to the lack of hype of bitcoin to the merchants. When we, the consumers or the bitcoin users, start asking for people to accept bitcoin or even ask if they do accept bitcoin as payment, something starts to happen. They start to gain interest on what it is and why did some guy just asked to pay using that kind of money. I'd say it takes time, a lot of time, but it can be shorten if we don't become such a sheep waiting for just the adoption to happen but be a shepherd and start the hype by ourselves.

In my country, though, bills can be paid using bitcoins via the local exchange. Electric bills, phone bills, etc. but I don't think you can pay medical bills. It's just a matter of time until hospitals start to participate since it's not that hard and it's a lot more efficient although it's totally possible that some hospitals would only want to be paid in cash.

Bitcoin is not controlled by any entity so it's actually a public and private currency depending the way you use it. For medical sectors not to adopt it yet is left for them to decide. Besides the currency is unstable and before you decide to implement it, you will have to understand how it really works. and anyone can actually use it rgardless of sector so far you understand how to implement it.

all that can happen if the state endorses bitcoin as a transaction tool, but if the state prohibits it it will not happen, because a transaction using bitcoin requires state permission

It will be a good thing if bitcoin is used in the medical sectors, but with the way the governments of some countries are viewing it, I doubt it if the medical practictioners will want to consider using it as a method of medical payment. Though, some private hospitals might want to use it but for the federal or state hospital,  they won't consider it. Even a medical consultants might consider using it also.

For now, it does not exist yet. But someday it can be realized and done. Some time ago I came across several threads of projects in the health sector that used blockchain technology for all the pharmaceutical supply chains and health sectors. Medichain and FarmaTrush I mean. They will implement ICO for its implementation. According to Me, This is the first step to get there.

In general, the topic of using bitcoin in medicine, or even in pharmacology, is quite ticklish. Now I do not observe developments in this direction, and all that appears is periodically pop-up Internet pharmacies that with joy and not concealed enthusiasm accept for payment bitcoins, and other crypto-currencies ...

bitcoin as a means of payment is still being tested feasibility. maybe bitcoin is not suitable to be used as a means of medical payment because the value of bitcoin is still volatile can be said not as stable.

Maybe the reason why bitcoin is not used in medical billing is due to its volatile market value the hospital might be lossing once the price bof bitcoin is dropping or maybe the system used in billing is not ready to accept bitcoin payment.

Don't be upset about it. Many sectors are opening with bitcoin. Nowadays, airports are accepting bitcoin. Hopefully in medical treatment, bitcoin is also be used. But it needs some times.

This gonna be a good once they implement it I think. But long process might be needed.

Maybe In the future, when the bitcoin price is more stable, It will be used in medical billing. Let see.

It would take very long time for that to happen. Right now the price of bitcoin is so unstable, I don't think that it will be used. Bitcoin needs to be stable, also many people should have the knowledge to bitcoin. The easiest way for people to know what bitcoin is when the government started implementing crypto currency.

i bumped on hearty project last year and the ico didnt work that is why the project didnt prosper. blockchain on health industry is a big help specially on records and payment system. try patientory coin if it fits https://patientory.com/

if in your country receive bitcoin clear this is good to do let alone fear health does not need to bother hard in making payments through cash but can only be done with transactions bitcoin, but if your country has not legalized bitcoin of course it will be difficult to apply how to step government so that all that concerns with medical personnel and drugs can be paid by using bitcoin.

I know what you mean. Many people think it is not feasible. Many people think it is feasible, in my opinion, I think it could happen when one day a bitcoin is accepted for medical billing such as hospital fees. The government of my country has started accepting to bitcoin payment for some services. But in health I'm not a leader, I'm just an employee so I can not decide

there are already some ICOs about health and health services that pay for it using crypto, and I think they succeeded in developing their ideas.

this could happen, in the future when the cryptocurrency becomes the main in the world then that you expect it can be realized, but not in the near future

In hospital bills sometimes they need to pay tangible and with electronic money due to lack of regulations and policies there is still no stranglehold on the price or value of bitcoin in case of reduction or increase.
The easiest way to let people know what bitcoin is when the government starts making electronic money.

I believe that Bitcoin is still in the basic phase of development and hence there is a high amount of volatility when it comes to the price but in the medical sector, it is risky to use anything like it because in case of emergency we might not get the value from it as much as we are expecting. It might create some problems at the billing stage when the time is the crucial element and we cannot afford to lose time just because technical issues and thus there is not much usage of Bitcoin in medical industry at this stage.

in medical payments using bitcoin I think that's hard to happen, for a reason the bitcoin price is not as stable, unlike the typical banknotes, but there are some countries that have made payments using bitcoins.

See in my opinion , Bitcoin is still in the development phase and it will be great if Bitcoin will be used in Medical Line and it starts accepting bitcoin against medical billing. but i think for now it is not used in medical billing just for the only reason that prices of Bitcoins are not stable.

It doesn't because hospitals need cash to retain medical products. And they can only buy them through cash. Some are also influenced by the rumors about Bitcoin is a scam. And so a lot doesn't want to risk anything for something they're not sure about. They might say "to see is to believe".

those days are not so far when we will going to witness this.

The problem is not when bitcoin is used for that purpose. At present, many ICO projects have been developed to support and care for the public. Instead of using bitcoin, you can use the currency of such projects.

bitcoin is not suitable as a means of payment like that, we know that bitcoin prices are unstable. much remains to be done by the government if bitcoin is used as a legitimate transaction tool, and it will also take a long time to make it happen.

i think it is still developing so we can hope that it would happen very soon.

That would be great coz it will increase the demand for bitcoin. But maybe they still see BTC as a variable that may effect their monthly profit. We couldn't convince them that this is more efficient coz there's already online banking and also debit/credit card that could be use for paying. And if you have BTC and you wish to use it to pay your medical expenses, you could encash it and use it as you wish or convert it into cash deposit it on your account, you can do these things online (but still depends on your country).

It requires investment to get to that period. All things considered it doesn't make a difference when your working environment office can get installment with bitcoin. Until further notice the choice is as yet private so it isn't conceivable there will be mediation from different gatherings. Not at all like when the administration has settled on a choice by influencing the control, it to will be altogether different from what will happen later.

I support this kind of involvement of technology to health. I was actually waiting for such idea but all we can do is wait until the government settle things out. I think cryptocurrencies are only focused on economics, trading and earning. I am hoping for a broader perception of the fast transactions. It would be really great to see this technology be involved in medical area.

It is a good thing to use Bitcoin in a work like a medical, but it will take a lot of time to make it and have to make many policies. The government and the banks must meet Bitcoin and work together in different non-government organizations.

Bitcoin is still growing and with new projects coming into the blockchain technology, that time will come when bitcoin is used in the payment of hospital bills and other bills. As at now, we have some projects who accept their altcoins in the payments of some healthcare deliveries and I believe in a time to come, bitcoin will be integrated in those projects too.

because there is no official statement of bitcoin can be used for medical billing, until now that I know bitcoin only for the investment

Well it's true that bitcoin still cannot be used for medical billing, however there are already altcoins doing such like Docademic, they use block chain in order to use for payment, also block chain technology is becoming a wonderfuo innovator for most healthcare companies just like united health group, they are already hiring developers to help them create a block chain, however this will not be in a form of ICO rather just information of the members or subscribers that they and other health carr systems have, in the future, we might see crypto currency being used as means of payment for healthcare.

very good expectations, many people expect bitcoin used for every transaction, bitcoin spreads in our lives, bitcoin becomes a balancing of a country's economy, but to realize it all is not easy, and takes a long time.

I always analyze that when many countries start creating and receiving crypto, it is a sign that bitcoin will be accepted by the world in the near future.

Not all governments are ready to accept bitcoin yet and bitcoin hasn't fully suitable for currency due to its volatility, the transaction amount of medical billing is huge, if bitcoin price fall down a little, itw will hugely affected, but in the future I think there will be implementation to that area, some of the alt coins already launch the project to cover health and medical expenses using the coin, and medical is a vital sector, it will be great if crypto could cover this sector

There are alot of ICO working for that particular use. Bitcoin still needs some endorsement and support to be able to do that. Even bitcoin is still not accepted in some stores, I think thatvis the tirst step before yo7 can see this on hospital bills. That will he the more advance use of btc and crypto in the near future, which will be a result of pure hardwork and support.

From the sound of it, he’s not a practitioner, just someone who works in healthcare. I think my employer would laugh me out of the room if I told him to accept Bitcoin. :)

I’ve definitely read about some sole practitioner attorneys or small law firms taking BTC. Not doctors, though. Healthcare is very corporate where I’m from — not likely to accept BTC. But the fact that I’m seeing acceptance among other professionals and also for things like real estate tells me that adoption is ramping up.

Specifically using Bitcoins as an payment for medical treatment or medicine etc. Would be a bad idea because the value of Bitcoin is too unstable. But the idea of using cryptocurrencies also for medical treatment is great. It will also become a big help for those people, who eventually needs helps from family or friends far away to pay expenses to hospitals etc. If they can use a mobilephone and have an internetconnection, they dont need a bank in between or need help from other instances to transfer money. I´m not exactly sure about MedicCoin and Medicalchain, which possibilities they give. But its worth to research.

I believe that the answer is the same as in any other business. It is up to them to decide if they will and/or need btc payments. But there are a lot of projects which promise to use block chain tech for medical data safety , prescriptions and cross border medical treatment, lets see if they will succeed and if there is place for it in this industry.

bitcoin will be used for medical billing in time to come. there are few medical tokens now like mtc and others..i believe with time the medical sector will fully adopt bitcoin use

Bitcoin is never used in medical billing because bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that still not yet approved by the government to be a payment for such things, like hospital, restaurant, groceries, and etc. If you want to still benefit something from bitcoin, then withdraw the money you earn from bitcoin, use it to the hospital, restaurant or anything you wanted to pay using bitcoin. That's the best way than saying to the doctors or managers and etc that you will pay using bitcoin. That will do it.

It will be eventually, but I don't know if Bitcoin is what will be used. What will be used instead will be most probably medical records being timestamp or verified through the blockchain. I could hardly see Bitcoin having any use case in the medical field other than payment, which the Bitcoin network is simply not ready for at the moment.

If I am paid for a bitcoin in my electronic wallet then it would be great if someone like me is the new one that I wish bitcoin not used in medical billing  it wonderfull

In order for that to happen there must be someone who is willing to start it. Maybe that part is still in progress and developing that's why we don't see it yet. We should push that idea because it's great and advantageous. It's just bitcoin is not at that point yet. Maybe soon once bitcoin is ready we're gonna see it.

Maybe it's because bitcoin is not yet ready to get involved in that part. I think it is still developing as of now and not capable enough to bring the needs of medical billing. Let's just wait until it happens cause it will come sooner orthan later. That's a great thing that we should focus on cause it willwill be a great opportunity for bitcoin community.

if you can just change it in your local currency and buy what you want or buy medicine food and many more things with bitcoin just change what I need in localbitcoin and ready

I think this is case to case basis that it will depend to the establishments or to the place in which Bitcoin currency is welcome to use for spending like in Japan and Germany in which Bitcoin currency can now directly to use in most establishments including hospitals, groceries and some facilities that spending is involve. This was due to these countries have fully used the Bitcoin potentials into the fullest in which Bitcoin users has less tax to no tax collection if they use it in spending so therefore everyone will be encouraged to join the investment of this coin.

For me bitcoin is never used in medical billing because bitcoin is unstable and bitcoin is still in progress. Soon they will continue to develop for payment system that will surely be use in medical billing.

yes i think maybe in the future we can see that bitcoin will be one if many payment system in medical billing, maybe not in medical billing only but it will be the payment for all thing that we know like the insurance, and the other.

Because of its volatility it is so unstable that accepting it as payment, you will be putting your self or the business at a great loss the good side of it is if you have the money to cover for the losses and can survive until the next bull run.

It would take a long time to reach that goal as we have seen in many countries as of now btc is not regulated and still having some issues pertaining payment option and decentralization as well. Still i feel some day we wall will deal digital currency and forget fiat thats what is the main motto for use of btc and all such crypto currencies.I would be happy to see in the future if all these crypto are goign to be part of medical services as well.

I agree. Yes, the decision whether to accept bitcoin in medical bills or not lies on the private sector and its head. Maybe because the bitcoin price is volatile, maybe that makes them scared to accept bitcoin as payments. But hopefully in the future,  they will accept bitcoin.

I think it needs to be stable first before this can be true. i work in medical sector too and hoping for this to be a reality.

bitcoin is still a virtual currency and not been accepted by all countries as a form of payment. I think bitcoin is only used for internet payments

For me that's good idea, i think the reason why Bitcoin is not used in medical billings for now is that many peoples don't know what is Bitcoin yet, that's why it is very important for now to spread the awareness about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Maybe soon it will happen if 80% or 90% of the people in this world are already using Bitcoin, that's the time we can use Bitcoin to pay our daily expenses or even in medical aspects.

It would require a long investment to achieve that objective as we have seen in numerous nations starting at now btc isn't controlled and as yet having a few issues relating installment alternative and decentralization also. Still I feel sometime we divider will bargain advanced cash and overlook fiat that is what is the principle witticism for utilization of btc and all such crypto currencies.I would be cheerful to find later on if all these crypto are goign to be a piece of restorative administrations also.

I dont understand why bitcoin are not accepted as medical billing.Although bitcoin price market value is so volatile but i think this could also be accepted in some countries as payment.I am hoping.

Bitcoin will get there soon but not now, there are fundamental issues that bitcoin needs to tackle first such as general acceptance by government of the world, bitcoin needs to become a legal tendency first and this achievable when the coin is being taxed and regulated without these i dont think it will become a means of payment in health sector so soon. Also its a step by step things.

To use Bitcoin in medicine, it is necessary for the government to approve this step, otherwise insurance and state medicine can not work, because all services are carried out under the contract and the payment terms in it are prescribed.

I think it needs time to be studied. Maybe someday, bitcoin will be used in medical bills payment. But it must be  studied carefully because its volatility makes it difficult for transactions of fixed price.

I think it's too hard to pay bitcoin because not all people are in bitcoin, and do you think if ever you had bitcoin for investment you will pay some of your bills. For me no.

It will take a long period of time for the medical institutes to accept bitcoin as a means of payment. Bitcoin cannot be use in medical billing for now because of its uncertain real value in the market. We know that the price of it usually gies up then down the nexy day. Addition to that, not all the people are into bitcoin or doesn't have any access in it. It will not be accepted due to the againstment of government in regulating or letting the bitcoin circulates in our society.

Give it a few years up to a decade. Cryptocurrencies are still in its infancy. Either medical care will accept BTC payments with the help of a well developed lightning network or we will have altcoins coming out in the medical niche.

It will take a little time for Bitcoin to reach every corner - just have a little patience.

I think bitcoin is not suitable for this kind of service. Hospitals or clinics needs to buy its needs immediately, bitcoin is unstable and doesn't fit to this kind of payments terms. Health care services needs currency which is stable and don't need to wait for the price goes high.

just wait bro i think they will also shoulder bitcoin soon when it is already use all over the world. and bitcoin is already a currency or payment methods.

I think it will take time bitcoin used in medical billings. if the government decided to centarlized this. but I hope time will coming soon.

Well, that would be nice if we can use bitcoin in paying medical bills and health care services. But it takes a lot of thorough study and regulations in using it. Bitcoin price is very volatile while hospital bills are stable in their price. That is why medical corporations even the banks in the governments still have no way of accepting bitcoin  it just because regulations is not clearly stated and very volatile in price.

Bitcoin can not use in medical billing because bitcoin is not legalized worldwide. Actually hospital is like our bank they will not accept it if it is not legal in our country.

Accepting Bitcoin as means of payment for medical services will really be great. Everyone is still hoping that Bitcoin and other cryptos will one day be used as a medium of payment in all sectors of the economy including the medical sector. I see this happening someday anyway. It is just a matter of time the whole world will come to accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

It takes a lot of time, effort of the government and hospitals, regulation of the currency or bitcoin and acceptance of the citizens
As i mentioned the following the hardest part here is the regulation of bitcoin, it will surely take years or even decades for the bitcoin to be regulated and things might change in the future so who knows. Not just in hospitals but in any other establishments

I believe the prompt decentralization of things on people does not really sink down into effective use but we hope with time as the fraternity of bitcoin is growing day in and out there will be a time and season where it will be applicable to medical billing and even many more.

Reality wise, this problem is seriously affecting the adoptions of this system, regulation coming from different government will break the real essence of anonymity, maybe government might need to create another crypto to cater that particular venue and use blcokchain for much better results, bitcoin will
take a lots of time before it can be decided by the govern bodies if they can allow anonymous transactions from their ruling government.

It will take a long time for bitcoin to be used for billing in micro-transactions such as grocery, shopping, paid services, and health or medical billing. It is possible and we're slowly approaching this dream. It would take a long time, but at least it is possible and it is currently happening. We just have to give support to bitcoin and aim for the best.

It will be nice to get to that extend, but my question to you is how many individuals are holding bitcoin, you cant initiate something that only very few people  will be available for such service. A time will come that your genuine initiative will come to existence

Hopefully in the next few years, the medical field or literally just anything money-related will recognize bitcoin or at least cryptocurrencies in general as payments. There is quite a number of users, and is able to grow even more, of bitcoin. Main problem is its difficulty to spend it as for its volatility.

It will finally have in the coming years to come, so we don't need to worry about it because for sure there are already people or company who sees this kind of opportunity and to put it in a medical billing, it will really have if we will just have the patience of waiting.

There are already many token that is under development regarding health Nad how it will be use in healthcare industry. But it will take many years before it will become a member payment for medical bills. 

Do not worry, bitcoin is gradually being introduced into different spheres of our life and will probably soon be introduced into the healthcare sphere. You yourself can start accepting payment in bitcoin and thereby speed up the process of introducing bitcoin into real life.

I do not know, but there is a crypto project called Socratus

In order that bitcoin could be used to pay for medical services, it is necessary that he obtain the official status of the payment instrument. Some countries are gradually moving in this direction.

Bitcoin is not stable and volatile. The transaction in every hospital needs to be faster, but in bitcoin, it make time before it is successful. Although payment can be made by the companion of the patient but what if the patient has the bitcoin not the companion? Will you disturb the patient or will you wait for him/her? A hospital needs money to buy supplies, medicine and any apparatus needed by the hospital. They need fiat to do this because not all accept bitcoin as payment.

yes off course we need to wait for a short time as bitcoin is now using in different restaurantes same it will also be started in medical.

in my opinion the medical sector would be one of the latest sectors that will adopt payment with crypto before that the other industries and sectors have to inlude the btc payment by technology being the first of them.

So, you're saying that there aren't projects aimed at small groups of people? Introducing bitcoin payments would give people a choice. It wouldn't limit anyone or make them not receive medical help. It would allow those that want to use BTC to do it. And contrary to your opinion there are many services that very few people use. For instance expensive hotel suites or extremely luxurious car versions. Most people won't buy it, but it's an option for those who will.

Because no hospital had accepted bitcoin as mode of payment. Hopefully this will open to all hospital owner to accept bitcoin same as they accept credit cards. Although I seen some ICOs that has focus on health services maybe that will be the beginning for more adoption in health sector.

If there is no hospitals or medical clinics using it today, then it will in the coming future. But for crypto that is intended for the medical field, i have recently seen some of them and i think it will be successful becomes it's a whole new idea of bridging the medical world and the blockchain.

A lot of new token right now aims to be use as payment for  medical in the future example of that is DENTACOIN they aim to use DCN for care services and examination. They already have company partners and some DENTIST accepting DCN as payment.

May be someday used, but future opportunities looking forwarded, feasibility project to be buildup.   

the question is very intriguing to me, but do not know for other countries whether received clear in my country bitcoin is a forbidden trade, because besifat gambling, but not in blocking its existence is not published, so it can not be a means of payment, in medical

I don't agree with you, I think government and Banks don't mean to accept Bitcoin. Must be created some systems that include using payments into Bitcoin.

It'll just take a lot of time in processing the way of using the Bitcoin for medical billing, if the management of every countries agree on the system it might be pursued in the near future.

Bitcoin need to be stable first to be used in hospitals and other medical billing. There first need to be a fixed value for btc. They can;t just accept btc knowing that its value may decrease rapidly in just months.

We all know that in other countries bitcoin is commonly used as payment in some stores because their accounting system is already upgraded to accept digital currency  and may be bitcoin is not used in hospital because their accounting system is not yet upgraded to receive bitcoin payment.

We’ll get there. One industry at a time. Real estate, food and transportation are the first ones that I foresee to accept bitcoin as payment. Then, almost everything else can be paid for using cryptocurrency. Be patient.

The problem is the bitcoin prices keep unstable because of that it will make them sometime get benefit sometime get disadvantage.
Maybe someday in future when bitcoin prices more stable your ideas will implemented by them.

Nowaday bitcoin has not been able to be known by various companies or more not yet known by companies engaged in the field of health. Every company is still comfortable using money fiat as a payment system. Actually to make payments using any tool can be done as long as many want it so that every company will start to arrange payment with the desired system. Being a legitimate payment system done bitcoin is worth using this is just a matter of process everyone will accept it one day ahead.

I hope that bitcoin will be used in paying medical bills. It is important to bitcoin users when they involve in accident. They can use their bitcoin to pay their medical bills. It will also be easy to pay medical bills if they use bitcoin.

I think you haven't ever heard of the hospital data breach. You could search Hancock Regional Hospital, they been hacked last year and the hackers demanded bitcoin as ransom to the data they have been held. Even though they don't want to negotiate with the criminals, they were been forced to do so due to the great importance of the data. Today their CEO is spreading the news, helping other hospitals so that they will not be the victim of the same incident. That is why the hospital has a phobia of bitcoins.

Things will be at the right time and the right place.
we don't need to rush everything.
bitcoin and blockchain are moving forward really fast.
we must expect it sooner or later.

The use of Bitcoin in medical payments is possible, but the government should approve this. And every company that provides health care needs to accept Bitcoin, and then everything can work stably, avoiding all the trouble.

Actually i think Bitcoin is not more used in medical platform.Bitcoin mostly used travelling, online shopping and other many important platform.Medichain & Dochademic is the medical based decentralized platform i have seen ever recently. Dochademic project huge successful ICO.Many doctors are try to involved in crypto currencies platform.I hope at future medical platform will be developed.

it really comes as soon as possible and except for bitcoin but other crytocurrency has been out there. except for other days there will be projects that will join in such a kind of payment through the passing of so many technologies today and the growing members of alternative coins. farming companies and other means of livelihood can come as a kind of business.so medical billing is well come soon possible ..

I think there is no problem when btc will be used in transaction of medical. In fact, I think it will become useful because the patient don't need to wait for them to completely done their payment, instead they will just use btc for the payment.

Bitcoin hasn't yet, but many healthcare companies now starting to adopt the blockchain technology same idea of Bitcoin how it being used and these companies are continuing to develop their blockchain.

There are many reasons why Bitcoin not chosen as a form of payment in the health sector. The biggest reason is the bans come from the government of that country, many countries around the world have issued bans on removing Bitcoin and Crypto from their country.

I am believe that will happen in next several years. Bitcoin right now can not used for payment in many sector because government regulation not allow it. Government will regulate bitcoin because crypto market growing really fast and government must be want to collect taxes

I have also thought about this and still don't know but i think that this will change soon and in the nearest future this will happen, it will be very convenient and I know that a lot of people will prefer making payments like this

Bitcoin used as a medical billing involves the function of bitcoin as a means of payment. Honestly not everyone knows bitcoin so if the workers in the health sector do not understand bitcoin then he will trouble in the process of adaptation. Besides that, not everyone has bitcoin so the transaction will actually slow down the administrative process. Another reason for the very risky bitcoin price fluctuations. The cost of health is so great that it can not be at stake with bitcoin prices that are still up and down. If within a few minutes the price of bitcoin drops dramatically suddenly then the health will suffer huge losses due to very expensive health costs and bitcoin prices are not in accordance with the initial payment earlier.

I think they will accept bitcoin as payment in the future if they see bitcoin as a good influence to their company then for sure they will be

They didn't thought about it yet, beacause they are busy saving peoples life. I know one day they will realize that it will be more easier to pay bitcoin and more accessable than using money.

yea i am optimistic that one day the world will come to accept bitcoin or crytocurrency generally an alternative legal tender.the future looks towards this direction.

I think for now there is no hospital or medical party who wants to receive payment using bitcoin. It is difficult for hospitals to use bitcoin as a means of payment, while they are still tied to government and banks. There may be someday a private hospital or medical party willing to accept payments using bitcoin

I think that bitcoin will never be used for any payments. Like gold, which is also not used for payments. Only for investing and moving capital.

bitcoin is not a real currency but this is a digital financial system that can not be used at your convenience .. payment in this hospital can only be paid with cash and can not with bitcoin.

Im not sure but i think the INS campaign is focusing in medical field just correct me if I'm wrong

But i believe that medical is the next to be targeted by the dev to create a project in regards this matter,because as i have remember theres one project that tackles about the prisoner the cellblocks but it turns out as a scam or failure project.so if this people can make even for prisoners why not for medical right?

it will happen if bitcoin has been legalized in your country, so it will help many bitcoin users to transact in need of health service, it is a good idea I also hope it happens in my country.

It's take a long process to legalized bitcoin use in medical billing, why not maybe it works, I'm not against in that but I think it's more difficult to pay their medical bill for those who have money and not in bitcoin.

probably because not all levels of society can use bitcoin as a means of payment, including in the medical world plus many governments prohibit its use as a means of payment so maybe for use in the medical world with bitcoin payment still takes a lot of time to be able to achieve it

I support the attraction of technology to health. In fact, I was waiting for such an idea, but all we can do is to wait until the government regulates the situation. I think cryptoculture is focused only on economy, trade and earnings.

Obviously, BTC is too unstable to be used in medical billing. And what is even more obvious - it is not a legal currency in your country, as well as in many others. That would be nice if we get the possibility to pay medical bills with cryptocurrency, but now it’s impossible.

I think bitcoin is slow in transaction speed , which dont attract the medical sector as a mode of payment . There are lot of alt coins tho , i mean I've seen a lot of projects tackling the medical institutions . I dont mind them ATM since I have not seen any of them succeed . Maybe im just not looking far enough . But yeah , its a long shot for bitcoin . If you want to pay your medical bills , you would rather pay them with cash since its almost instant unlike bitcoin which takes a lot of time .

We all know that we are in th world where digital high technologies can be found anywhere. Compared to the past years, there are lots of improvement that happens to the current world we are living into. And so, I have a strong sense of feeling that there will also be a high possibility that the Bitcoin will also be integrated or engage to the Medical Billing but now now, and it might be on years coming since, there are also still some other people that don't yet recognize crypto currencies as a payment method.

Bitcoin is continues develop now and little by little bitcoin continues progress in term of paying bills. I hope that one day that hospital accepted bitcoin as payments cause bitcoin is very useful and helpful to us.

We can barely get the healthcare system right with fiat currency. I'm not sure we are ready for a blockchain technology in healthcare at this time.

No doubt there will be a time when this will be looked at, but in general healthcare is a very complex business, and with the amount of red tape and political rhetoric out there, we may be waiting a while..

maybe someday bitcoin can be the medical billing because we can see right now there are many ways to pay some medical treatment and anything else, maybe blockchain and the bitcoin can be the on of that payment in the future. so we all hope that bitcoin can be the one of that peyment in the future

It's possible bitcoin use for medical bilings becauake today are the era of new technology even do hospitals are use new technology for the medical treatment so not possible bitcoin accept hospital bills for the mdecal treatment.

Paнo eщe. He дoшeл blockchain дo мeд ycлyг... Bpeмя нe дoшлo eщe.

I do think so that it can be, bitcoin will use to paid in medical billing, cos it so difficult and lots of discussion on both parties that may result on argumentation which government entered on this it may affect on their implementation about taxation so i think this hard to happen.

So far the decision is still private so there can be no interference from other parties. In hospital bills they sometimes need to pay tangible and electronic money due to lack of regulations and policies that are not available. Strangulation of the price or value of bitcoin in the event of a decrease or increase.

Conversion of virtual currency into real is quiet difficult. Money transaction via bitcoin is not available every where. In medical field you have to buy medicines on daily basis so you need money at every time. While through bitcoin it is not possible.

I don't think it's a problem if medical payments can use bitcoins, as well as the usual types of payments, but it takes a long time for that to happen. Since most hospitals are controlled by the government, this may require administrative approval from the government.

We all know that bitcoin was not yet used totally outside its industry. Perhaps it would happen in future but that isn't easy as we thought of. For now, its all yet uncertain but hopefully it will happen.

I think its not true .bitcoin acceptable in medical billing. also.

I think soon will bitcoin engage in medical field as a payment method on hospital bill but for now bitcoin are not much popular and there are so many critics behind it.

Everybody needs find attention on where BTC should be in a right place,  I know that fees had already upgrade but why is it that this statement needs to be a reason on why people think of electronic payments. I think it depends on the establishment on how they accept payments it is optional because I see to it medical cares are longing on bank accounts and cheques but I think in the future we may have. Let's hope.

If bitcoin has been legally recognized in your country as a currency and a means of payment, then just waiting for time for bitcoin can be adopted in public services. But if bitcoin is still not legally recognized, it will be difficult for bitcoin to be used as a payment tool in public services such as hospitals.

there are many projects related to the medical direction where payment for altcoyes think that in the future it will be possible to pay and bitcoin all medical services

For the same reason it's not used in the veterinary or sports sectors/industries yet. Why do they need to use it? Bitcoin is a long way off for becoming common place as being used for payments for such things if ever. As long as bitcoin is so tumultuous then it will likely remain a niche payment system and certainly won't be adopted by the mainstream anytime soon. I think there's certainly more chance of certain industries adopting blockchain tech such as the financial industry, but they won't be adopting bitcoin just the tech obviously behind it.

there are already several crypto platforms in the health sector, they are generally more focused on the quality of services, patient data, and AI technology in the health sector which will later develop into crypto payments

There are so many altcoin project that deals with this work. There is no disability to pay with Bitcoin. If you accept payment, why not.

I think it will soon be used in medical billing because bitcoin is developing more and more in our world

Personally i think because of bitcoin's unstability. For our medical billing, we need something can control and stable.

I really think bitcoin has not really accepted in all sector as payment. As time proceeds it will. Using it as payment in medical billing will be when the governments accepts bitcoin fully worldwide

maybe because bitcoin takes too long to wait for the block to be confirmed, besides that bitcoin is also not a flexible payment tool, people prefer the easier one

Well, I think that depends on who owns that health sector you are working at either it is a public sector that is run by government  or private one that knows nothing about Bitcoin or let me just say they knew Bitcoin but were afraid to accept it as form of payment due to volatility. I know that we are near to reality where private establishments will start to accept Bitcoin payments in a country where we are living.

I think I have seen a post somewhere in this forum where someone posted of a hospital already accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment. It means some already exist. We just want more health operators to accept cryptos as means of settling bills.

I think there are many health programs that use crypto systems and use blockchain, even recently there is Farasha project which has the aim of reducing and preventing cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease based on blockchain platform

Bitcoin to be particular I think has not been used and I have not seen some before though. But there are so many tokens coming out there which is having a medical background. I think in some years to come, medicine will see a different revolution powered by the blockchain technology.

The price fluctuation is a huge issue. Crypto currencies are still on its infant stage and has more to develop. People still needs to adopt the usage and it might take us another decade for getting used to it. Right now it is just being used as a storage value so people can make profit out of it. This is the frame of peoples mind we need to change.

Bitcoin is not widely accepted so its hard to pay using crypto currency anywhere , we need adaptation to do so. Hopefully sooner or later every merchant will accept bitcoin but todate the price volatility really turn investors off .

Because bitcoin is not yet official as a payment tool and is very difficult to use for medical billing because bitcoin is not stable and bitcoin volatility. Moreover, many countries do not accept bitcoin as a payment instrument.

I think that the bitcoin industry looks forward to this. Maybe this is possible for bitcoin in the future that it will be use as payment for the billing of medical records. Even some car companies accepts now bitcoin payment, so this is possible in the future.

Actually it's not a problem, because bitcoin can still be used to pay. However, it must be converted first at the payment gateway so that health services are already in the form of fiat money. Maybe in certain countries there are health services that accept payments using bitcoin directly.

I think paying with Bitcoin just adds another complexity level since the people would have to convert it back to Fiat so why would they bother? Plus no one is taking up BTC seriously as payment

Bitcoin is still at its initial stage. I believe in future it will be very accepted in the medical field.

unstabilty of bitcoin could be one reason it is not used in medical billing,Althrough it will be revolutionary if it is used in healthcare sector.

There are still many things that need to be fixed from Bitcoin and other usability benefits so Bitcoin cannot be used in this regard.

Bitcoin is a virtual money till now also its value keeps on fluctuating which cause much risk in market moreover its not official by the government of any country so thats why it cannt be used for medical billing.

It is not being used in medical billing because its not yet a global currency.
Not many people know about bitcoin and its potentials, which is tge reason for its low adoption rate.
I believe by the time bitcoin is generally accepted by the public, we can then use it for medical billing and any ither financial transaction.

Because in hospital bills sometimes they need real payments while bitcoin prices are unstable. there are currently no regulations and policies that anticipate the price or value of bitcoin in terms of a decrease or increase. That is why medical institutions or other companies even banks in the government still do not have a way to accept Bitcoin as a payment instrument in government-owned public facilities.

Same here. I think that out of everything that bitcoin is used for, medical billing is something that will benefit more from it. However I understand why bitcoin is not used for it yet: bitcoin is very unstable and unpredictable. If the time comes when bitcoin finally has a more stable price, then it can be used in medical billing. I suppose it will be beneficial for both the medical billing company and their clients, right?

Because there are only a few or no health companies using btc, some company with health service were holding ICO to collect the funds capital for their company. You can see Docademic is one of them.
It is not 'bitcoin not used in medical billing' as your title said, but it is 'not yet'. I believe in the future many of us will using btc and crypto to paying everything.

Yeah I think there's no obstacle to using bitcoin as a currency or payment option for anything. as long as they want to accept payment with bitcoin? yeah because currently bitcoin hasn't been legalized. certainly not many people accept bitcoin. so for now it depends onwner. are they wants to accept bitcoin or not?

Maybe not now, perhaps soon for the development of bitcoin and cryptocurrency industry. I think if the bitcoin will upgrade its features, this will probably possible to happen.

For now bitcoin has its limited interms of government agencies, but i think the develophers in any ICOS in cryptocurrency looking forward for that matters, but the only way to have it is to be regulated by the government for future concerns.

I think bitcoin will have to achieve some level of stability both in price and time for confirmation. It will be bad to pay some bills and while waiting for confirmation from the bitcoin network, and prices suddenly drops, leading to drop in the value of fund received. I think is a matter of time before acceptance.

Bitcoin can not use in medical billing because bitcoin is not legalized worldwide. Actually hospital is like our bank they will not accept it if it is not legal in our country.

Lately, a lot of projects have appeared in the field of healthcare, but they are launching their coins and most projects do not give bad results.

It is pretty obvious that using bitcoin for medical billing have some time to come true.  Bitcoin is not being used even in all kind of trading . First, bitcoin must be used in everywhere then It must be use for medical billing.

We will need first to reach at least small business like in the food industry, mc donalds or coffee bars and the like, the better bitcoin is used in this kinds of processes the more people will get used to it.

I think it depends upon the company or agency who accepted payment of bitcoin If there is a hospital that aware to adopt bitcoin why not but as of this time multi company and big business agency can accepted bitcoin being as a payment I can't heard Hospital accepted bitcoin payment.

Its not easy t9 go forward for that matter as of now,bitcoin is handling many  circumstances but through that the personels who involves with this crypto always finds a way just to make everything will be.easier and more better .,lets give a bit of space through that matter,and we might dont recognize it will be soon be done.

It will takes a really long time. Bitcoin cannot be use as a meducal payments for now because first of all, not all the people are aware to its existence. Also, the bitcoin is really volatile so we cannot say the acurate amount of one of it. Another one, implementing or agreeing to the bitcoin payment in hospitals will take a tons of steps and procedures. Lastly, most of the people aren't fond of using it.

in my opinion until now in my country INDONESIA, can't use bitcoin directly to do medical, it must be done through market exchange indodax.com or triv

Like in my country almost all the big hospitals are own by the government so it will take government approval of bitcoin for bitcoin to be accepted and use in those hospitals.

This is my opinion. why they are not accepting bitcoin or any kinds of cryptocurrency as payment for medical billing and other services. Because bitcoin is not stable in terms of their market value. This is probably the reason, why they are not accepting it. Another thing is, hospital and/or medical institutions are not yet ready to adopt cryptocurrency such as bitcoin.

I think the form of payments will change over time because our technology also advances and we have now bitcoin, our digital cash. But only time can tell when will that happen, where we can use bitcoin to pay hospital bills, to purchase our basic utilities to pay taxes in bitcoin. I look forward for it to happen in my country where I live.

Medical services here in our place already provided by our government. But in private medical services don't think that they will accept bitcoin as their billing payment because it is not widely acceptable in all communities.

It will happen very soon, as cryptocurry indroduce for health sector. You dont warry that will happen soon.

this question you should ask your leader, why not involve crypto as a transaction tool. but there are many ico that have involved health innovations such as medical and so on. I am not sure if it will work and until now the project has not run smoothly. maybe it takes more than a decade for many innovations to involve bitcoin.

I think this sector has not enter to accept bitcoin due to the high volatility of bitcoin price as those health sector can't accept that fast changes of price. Maybe in the future another coin or token will enter the health sector to focus on this matter as this will need a more stable currency.

What benefits will payment for medical services in bitcoin bring to you?This may happen but not before the next century.The use of blockchain technology in medicine will bring significant benefits.But paying with bitcoins is something unreal.

Well, I think the health sector was not yet prepared or aware to accept Bitcoin in their industry. Bitcoin still gradually moving from investment. Maybe if they implement to used Bitcoin in medical fees and other health care services it could be convenient but as now, bitcoin is not yet used in many mode of payment and in a few country only using it in payment method.

Technically you can use Bitcoin to pay for almost anything by using a BTC to Fiat debit card, however not every country currently has these, though they are being rolled out into new countries seemingly quite regularly. Rather than having an OTC solution for Bitcoin, things like BTC debit cards should smooth the path in future.

not all people know about bitcoin, and most poor people that need hospital. when they got desiasse they will choice to hospital to check it up, not try to take rest or something else. but that is good if some hospital accept payment in cryptocurrent. so, member can pay via crypto

I am also a healthcare professional, I like to see also the involvement of crypto market in health care sector. I support this kind of involvement of technology to health. I was actually waiting for such idea but all we can do is wait until the government settle things out.For now  Bitcoin cannot be use as a medical payments because not all the people are aware to its existence and also because of its market volatility. May be in future it will be that what we are looking for.

Bitcoin has already covered many areas of people's lives, and they cover them further. I'm sure soon with bitcoin, and not only bitcoin can be calculated in different institutions, thus acquiring their services. I really believe this

In my opinion, bitcoin is not ready to be used in medical billing because it is still in process.

In the future we will see that, it takes a long time to make it come true because btc is not yet known, accepted for economic transactions so it can be used. To pay for medical services, I think it will be a long time to come true

I think btc has not been used to pay for hospital bills because its popularity is not really wide enough for people to think about it but in the future we can see it if btc is It is so powerful that everyone trusts and uses it as a currency

I don't think that making bitcoin as a way of billing in medical stuffs will be that easy because firstly not all people accepts it. Second, it would shookt everyone if it happened. Third, the government didn't even introduced BTC as a currency so why use it for billing. But, aside from those reasons I think it is possible if people make it works.

It is the same reason to other platforms that don't accept Bitcoin as a payment method, because of it's volatility, the transaction fee and the transaction time. I am saying that it is the same since all the transactions using Bitcoin usually include these.

Some hospitals might be accepting Bitcoin but with these disadvantages than other payments methods, I guess patients will be really using the usual payment methods than sticking on Bitcoin. I know that a lot of people want to push Bitcoin as a crypto used in payments but with it's volatility, I don't think it will be that effective and great idea unless that individual knows well what Bitcoin is.

there are so many altcoins on the market, but why do you ask about bitcoin?
You also have to be able to think about the risks that might occur if bitcoin is adopted as a payment instrument in a hospital or clinic without any agency that regulates Bitcoin itself
especially volatility which will certainly harm one of the parties involved in the transaction process

Because Bitcoin price unstable also price going to up or down in my then maybe medical billing can't accept yet.in just my opinion but maybe some countries can be accepted when Bitcoin legal this country's.

I think this is only a matter of access, why in the medical world can not make payments with coins
I don't think it's as sophisticated as many don't know about bitcoin.

i don't think it will come true because bitcoin is unstable and decentralised. And it is also a good idea to use bitcoin in medical billing

Do you think that peoples would readily pay using bitcoins in a medical emergency? If anyone had a serious injury or an accident, would it go good to pay via bitcoins? Absolutely NO.
In such situation paying via fiat currencies always goes great and non hesitateble.

Hahahahaha, it is really witty and interesting in the first place I see this post. I don't really know why medical billing was not using BTC or any cryptocurrency as payment when you are hospitalized. I remember before that there was a token called DentaCoin maybe that was the name that offering to give coins when you answer their surveys but I don't know if there was a coins associated with medicals or hospitalizations.

I am quite certain that soon things will change, and cryptos will be used in medical billing too. In most cases, it is much more convinient to use crypto than cash, especially if the fee is low.

No one is using bitcoins everyday or any hospitals for that matter because of the overwhelming volatile bitcoins have in itself that the medical team would just laugh at us for trying to pay things with cryptocurrency at an early age as this one. Maybe in time, hospitals would finally allow themselves to accept bitcoins.

It’s safe to say that the path towards that development has been paved, especially since blockchain is now revolutionizing the healthcare industry. That’s already a big leap. Now that society is recognizing blockchain technology, the concept of digital currencies will follow suit.

If there will be generous start up company or a bigger one that will make it happen so this depends on your location/country.

This is just starting and I've been seeing memes on the web about a person who lies on the bed and is asking for a medical bill and the nurse is giving him the bill in bitcoin. I'm saying that the idea is coming out even before and time will come this can happen directly.

Because bitcoin price is not stable, it can go up and down at any time. this is the reason why I don't think people tend to use bitcoin in medical billing.

Bitcoin has not been used in services of stable value! Most bitcoin and altcoin are used as valuable assets for investment!
Bitcoin and altcoin need to be developed and used more extensively so that it can become currency!

The integration of blockchain particularly bitcoin in the medical industry can be of big use over the course of time as it improves the medical industry's data sharing in the said field. I have noticed that there are so many ICOs now that are focusing already in the medical industry.

bitcoin is not ready for commercial use, because volatility is very dangerous for its users
to be a secure payment medium, bitcoin must have a fixed and stable price, also easy to use by the public in general

Bad question, bitcoin not used in medicine on the same reasons what it not used in other filds.
No guarantee what your accepted btc not gone tomorow, its main.

If it's not wrong, it seems that there are already several projects which are going towards it, you can see it here (https://icovoz.com/). There are so many innovations they offer maybe you will like some of these projects.

Bitcoin isn't legal in all countries. Many social problems, education isn't allowed to use cryptocurrency. As a result, the health problem may be delayed.

It's a good idea and it could possibly happen if bitcoin already becomes a universal currency where everyone will be obliged to accept it regardless which sector it will be. When it's going to happen? Your guess is as good as mine mate.

It takes time to get to the medical industry to get used to bitcoin. In my own opinion, bitcoin is still on progress for payment system. As other countries continue to approve payment for electric bills, water bills, and many more, hopefully payment for medical industry in bitcoin will be accepted soon.

Bitcoins are not currently legal in some countries so it is difficult to use in payment transactions. But I believe in the future bitcoin will be used for medical billing.

I think time will comes that every sector will accept bitcoin, since bitcoin is not yet fully known in every country it needs more advertisement and promotion to make it more popular, also government should accept it first to have support to implement bitcoin as mode of payment

Actually, it's already in use. But not bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. Now a lot of projects based on Ethereum, which work in the field of health care.

There are many things that bitcoin should come through before it can be usable in health care sector and I didn't mean it needs to improve in the technically but in order to get most people to use it in a major industry like health care bitcoin itself should become a established and stabilized currency when considering its price level and growth so for that to achieve I think it might take few more time

That is the point there are many altcoins like srcoin, Xmc and other but they are specifically developed to accommodate essential tasks and functions in the health care sector by providing various compatible platforms but even bitcoin is much usable as above currencies we don't see such options or platforms to use it in the medical field so it is left behind but if a group can develop and implement a system without a doubt people will use bitcoin for medical industry over other currencies

It has something do with the bitcoin's volatility state. Since bitcoin has that characteristic, it is difficult for them to embrace bitcoin as a currency because they have no control of it, even governments. Though that would be possible in the future, adopting it now is still a big question.

It can be said that the path towards that development has been paved, especially since the blockchain is now revolutionizing the health care industry. Now that society is recognizing blockchain technology, the concept of digital currency will follow. This has just started and I've seen memes on the web about a person lying in bed and are asking for a medical bill and the nurse is giving him a bitcoin bill. Because the bitcoin price is unstable, it can go up and down at any time. This is why I do not think people tend to use bitcoin in medical billing. Most bitcoins and altcoins are used as valuable assets to invest!

It would be great to pay for any services (including medical) cryptocurrency. But today the world is not ready for it. Yes, the part of developed countries where people have an adequate financial level are much closer to realizing this. But how to  implement this  in poor countries? This is a question that worries me a lot and I can't find a solution for today.

I agree. Health sector is not yet ready to accept bitcoin payments because of its price volatility. They don't want to risk the chance of dealing with price stability. Come to think of it, within the 24-hour period, the bitcoin's price changes many times. So how are you going to compensate your payment with fiat money, the time you paid the bill or the time they received your payment? We are not yet ready in that stage but I'm very positive that sooner or later, there will be hospitals that will accept crypto as there are so many projects exploring the medical industry.

It is obvious that we should not use crypto currencies or Bitcoin in countries that it is illegal. Also, it is really hard to pay with Bitcoin if that platform don't really accept Bitcoin or any other crypto currencies, the worse they do not know it. But if I am not mistaken, there is this one crypto currency that focus on health, there might be others but that is what I can remember.

I strongly believe that every good thing does not just appear just at once on the scene and as we all can testify that, after the emergence of bitcoin there has been several areas that bitcoin has ventured and as we currently know the number of oppossers to this Godly gifted technology. I strongly believe it is a matter of time and we will see bitcoi been used in hospital billing.

Don't worry there was a time hospitals accept bitcoin as payment in medical treatment, i think sooner your wish will come true because bitcoin mass adoption of some business like banks and others establishment cintinue to accept bitcoin as payment.

There are already many projects that work in the field of healthcare on the blockchain and are very successful at the same time. This year alone, there were about 10 health-related coins on the market. If you mean full payment for hospital services with bitcoin, we will have to wait for this for a very long time.

Hopely that will happen in near future. The problem with bitcoin used for payment is government regulation. Many government not allowing bitcoin used for payment in merchant or hospital. Beside that, maybe merchant think bitcoin price very fluctuating but i do believe bitcoin will be used for payment in near future

We only need to wait for the right implementation in the world of health. Of course this requires time because to implement Bitcoin and crypto on the health system requires time and energy. This year there are quite a number of various projects related to health. Hopefully this can be quickly implemented, many benefits from this system and things like this will certainly provide very significant positive changes.

Well in some countries they are not fully into crypto currency and very few are using bitcoin as their currency because of its volatility in price, It is hard to think that it can be use in some medical billing program or institutions because of its demand nowadays, Most of people are not familiar with blockchain and crypto currency.

using bitcoin for billing some instance is not good right now, because the price of bitcoin that always moving up and down, makes the value of bitcoin is not stable and makes the value or income from that instance is not stable too

People are used to using traditional currencies to pay, and in my opinion it will take a long time for people to start using bitcoin as payment for medical services. Perhaps private clinics will start using bitcoin before the state. I think the main reason is the instability of the bitcoin price.

Not at all. Most probably it's about lack of knowledge.
The volatility doesn't matter, since the price is fixed in local currency, you pay at the spot price of Bitcoin and the payment processor does the conversion. The service provider (or seller) will receive local currency as always.

In my country there is one payment processor that accepts Bitcoin and it's slowly expanding. At first there were a few online shops where Bitcoin payment was accepted, now there are also car vendors that "accept Bitcoin" with this same method. So it is possible for any service provider and for them there's not much of a difference if you pay in Bitcoin or you pay with your credit card.

actually this same question i had been asking for long now,that why the medical area is not being accessed by this developer and investors,while this field has alot of revenue annually or maybe this only take long before finally reached out.
But lets not lose hope as i am really interested in this to happen.because i have a niece thats been threating for worst sickness and having crypto on board in terms of payment is really a big help

Bitcoin has proved the world it is a great innovation .The world is moving fast on digital currencies . Most of the people who are doing job are coming with the support bitcoin .We have seen a lots of new project are coming with blockchain .So the day is not so far that you can pay with btc .So just wait and live touch with bitcoin .

Such a strange question as the medical sector is not the only one that does not accept bitcoin. It is quite risky for the present time.

I think that argument could be done with each sector of the market, the answer remains the same, the day we can pay suppliers with bitcoin, that day will emerge as currency, also very important, stability, not even the price is as important as that a currency is worth the same today and next month.
