Doctors and clinics accepting cryptocurrency

[JoinWell.io]

Hello, Bitcointalk people:)

We are creating WELL Platform - where patients can connect with doctors via different devices and get medical consultation (telehealth solution on blockchain). Here is our site if you'd like to see more info https://joinwell.io. And that's our WEB PLATFORM for a test: https://www.tele.joinwell.com

Our plan is to develop a great, really global, network of clinicians and doctors  who will present on our Platform.
Do you know any doctors/ clinics that can accept cryptocurrency as a payment for their services? Any countries are welcome!

[fritzwalter195]

Any other merchants or services accepting BTC? I need to know where I can spend bitcoin and how. Thanke you!

Well, I've read that there are many companies where you can buy sth with crypto, especially in Europe.
Look at this article, I believe it gonna help https://99bitcoins.com/who-accepts-bitcoins-payment-companies-stores-take-bitcoins/

But as for healthcare, is there anyone who knows such examples?

[LeGaulois]

If you want I can give you a short list of specialists in Osteopathy, Medicine, Dentist, Hypnotherapy, Sophrology, Kinesiology, even Etiopathy and Optician if you want
They all are from the same country and all accept Bitcoin to be paid

[bctm]

now everyone can't wait to get sick so they can spend their coins.

Wow, that would be awesome.n WELL we want to create a network of doctors, that would be very helpful info. What country they are from?

[JoinWell.io]

now everyone can't wait to get sick so they can spend their coins.

  We want to know the attitude of doctors to this crypto world? Are they willing to accept cryptocurrency for the services?

[Drunkenhorse]

Japan is very progressive with regards to crypto payments etc, so I recommend you to research their market closely.

Well, there might be some good candidates for your project from all around the world, and finding them wont be so difficult for you. But, to have those people working for or working in your platform, or website is really hard. They might find your project interesting, and because of which they might join your website and start working as crypto-doctor.

Bitcoin is gradually taking roots in Africa, although painfully slow. Nevertheless, there is refreshing news on a daily basis that makes the drive to push Bitcoin penetration in the so-called “hopeless continent” promising....From brave women promoting adoption to startups using Bitcoin and the Blockchain to provide financial inclusion and prevent piracy, the number is endless. It is a great inspiration to the ecosystem and Africa stands to gain a lot from the spread of the crypto revolution.
Meanwhile, in the Southern African city of Gaborone in Botswana, a private clinic known as Sharada Clinic receives Bitcoin as a form of payment for treatment. Run by Dr. Donald Ariisa, it is the only health facility in the whole country that accepts bitcoin..

Thanks! Agree, Japan is very advanced in crypto reality, though there are many things to be taken into consideration if we talk about their market.
Now our main focus is on Europe, Americas, would be great to find info about that territories.

[dado7]

Not in my country, no, but I can try helping in promoting if this project really takes off.
I have another idea though. What if all the fees would be reserved for providing free healthcare to those in need?

[pri3oner]

Is it real to make the collaboration between medicine and blockchain happen? It must have A LOT of connections in medical society.  As for me I'd like to see that scheme working properly but it's too hard to realise...

Well, actually via our platform patients can pay with fiat money also, and doctors can accept fiat for their services.
That's why that isn't a major issue.
But it's important to research whether there are  doctors out there who are involved in crypto world already

[bitbunnny]

This is a nice, progressive idea and probably will not be accepted in many countries. Healthcare is one of the areas where such "experiments" usualy are not very welcome.
I think that is especialy good for those who don't have health insurance and can't afford to pay in fiat money. Hope it will work.

That's a very good idea indeed and in WELL we are implementing similar charity activity. It's called "Buy a visit, give a visit".  A portion of revenue that WELL network generates we will send to support our nonprofit partners and pay for charitable visits.

why not? money is money afterall

[chidrawarster]

In my country as of now , no clinics or doctors are accepting crypto currencies mostly as i live in a country wherein the usage of coins is not regulated.But i see the future of crypto currencies good as the block chain technology is useful in many ways and the regulation would imply that these technologies and coins would bring a good change in our economies.

ICO is all about any aspect of a profession in the community all over the word! if you remember denta coin for dental health and hearthy ICO for improving medical treatment and record! everything is possible with crypto.

This is an innovation via the blockchain. It will push the blockchain technology far to the people and making Bitcoin usage and acceptance further and
wider. This is really a novel project.

If doctors and clinics accept crypto to help the market thrive, this is also a blockchain application to life. But it is hard to do because many countries are trying to ban it.

Actually blockchain is a technology is being studied and I hope will be implemented soon even by public medical institutions.
But I completely agree that it's not an easy job to create something such innovative and outstanding: a lot is required. Medicine is very serious field, needs licenses and etc.
As for WELL, for instance, it works since 2015 (but without blockchain for that time) in California,has acquired medical license and is HIPAA compliant.

[Carmen01]

Even they accept or not there's some way to be related in accepting cryptocurrency like change first this to fiat,it's already in our own wallet and we can change direct that btc to fiat here in our country so that's not problem if they accept it or not another thing i know transaction in btc is so volatile so i think in digital it's really good but if you going to pay in hospital i think the process in that situation is going so long.

Your platform is great. Hopefully you get doctors signed on and you'll help take the cryptocurrency system to the next level.  Good job

Nice concept and idea,overtime medical cases can be attended to through BTC,your project is worth following

[OMGyasuo]

Your plans are really great, but to do that is not really easy. and in the present circumstances, finding a human resource that accepts salaries by crypto is a very difficult task. in addtion, Will the government allow you to do this or not?

[Murloc]

Why should doctors use your platform? It seems easier just to exchange crypto into fiat and pay for tretment. Then you won't have to pay the service fees and the recieving side won't have to deal with extra accounting issues. If doctors need to accept crypto they can do it via bitpay or a simple transaction. You won't be able to provide a high quality healthcare on your platform if there wil be better specialists that accept only fiat.

Thanks!
yes, the issue you raised is one of the problems that WELL want to solve. On our platform services will cost up to 30% less than a general medical appointment.
Moreover, payment via WELL platform will be very beneficial for those, who do cross border payment, for instance.

[JoinWell.io]

Well, yes, for now the world isn't ready for cryptocurrencies in our daily life and medicine specifically.
Though blockchain, for instance, can bring lot of good to the way we store patients' data in clinic, payments and etc.

WELL is not the place where you can pay for medical treatment with crypto (actually, fiat is also possible).
That's a marketplace where patients can get in touch with the doctors speaking their native language 24/7/365 (Telehealth solution), get a second opinion on the diagnosis. as for doctors, they also benefit: guaranteed payment for their services, collaboration opportunities and etc.

I am a U.S.-based psychiatrist who just started accepting cryptocurrency  in my multi-state direct-to-consumer  telepsychiatry practice. I decided to accept crypto mainly due to its lower processing fees compared to credit cards.
 Joinwell.io sounds like an interesting, innovative concept in global healthcare .However,   medical licensing and malpractice risk management  issues could  be challenging especially  for US-based providers that are  trained to be cautious in this  litigious environment.

[Geoll29]

It's great to hear that doctors and clinics are accepting bitcoins. This isn't yet happening in our country. I hope this time will come. As I always said paying through bitcoin means convenience on both parties.

[Zirch]

Hi, Doctors..

i wondering to know, how many people (especially, doctor and clinics) accepting  crypcurrency payments...

is doctor specialist or all doctors?

I think it great method and safes. But, for me doctors are hero who safe people.. NO MATTER WHO ARE THEY..

Sorry, it just my opinion..

[izanagi narukami]

Of course with this contribution, bitcoin value will increase significantly if my government also support hospital and clinic.
It's really amazing if all people around the world also accept bitcoin so the value will keep increase from time to time

~ Public Service accept bitcoin is my dream

[ajjhu]

If it can be implemented, the use of cryptocurrencies becomes important and can come into our lives, not just those of us who understand cryptocurrencies. Ordinary people know cryptocurrencies and even join the world of cryptocurrencies.

Well, we completely understand that it's not very easy to implement. and on WELL platform doctors can accept fiat money as a payment. (our business model is fully described in whitepaper - invite you to read it here: https://joinwell.io/docs/joinwell-whitepaper-en.pdf)
As for the governmental issues, we hope that someday there will be changes to do that. And by the way WELL already operates in California (the USA), but with no blockchain implemented. And got Medicare license.

Hello! Great to hear an opinion from a specialist!

It is. It gives more transparency and safety to the whole process, especially what refers payments.
actually we develop global Telehealth service called WELL, where patients can pay not only with crypt, but with fiat also.

Agree. Especially when it refers to our own health. Healthcare industry now is facing a lot of challenges, it's even disrupted. Blockchain with its features can make it better)

[WhoKn0ws]

This all sounds well if you’re out of pocket but let’s say you have a healthcare provider then it really doesn’t matter as they handle all payments to your caregivers.

[Palmerson]

I don't like the idea of medical consultations over the Internet. This is stupid. It's like a virtual wedding. You can have virtual sex but the fun and children you don't have to be. It seems to me that the establishment of such platforms is premature. When cryptocurrencies will be popular people will be looking for ways to earn them.

[Mr.Butak]

its good idea, for people that have bitcoin will use efficiently. and i think now more store accepted bitcoin

[kiddeon123]

I think these is a good idea if it will happen because many people are already using digital currency, plus the price is increasing. You can also have a choice on how you want to pay. I also think  that more people will accept bitcoin if these happens.

I don't think so if there are hospital that accept bitcoin right now, but maybe in near future all the establishment will accept bitcoin so that's everyone will became stable. I hope someday it became okay.

[Cholidm]

of course bitcoin is very useful in all areas including in the field of health as payment in the field of medicine but for now I have never found a doctor or hospital receive payment with bitcoin if there are doctors and hospitals that receive payment with bitcoin is certainly very useful especially in growth cryptocurrency, surely with the development of cryptocurrency all fields will receive bitcoin in making payment

[Xester]

Yes it will be a good thing for bitcoin to be known by other people.  And it would be a good help foe those who do not have money but have bitcoin.  I hope that it will be implemented as well here in my country.  Hope that doctors would do their best knowung that we payed them our hard earned bitcoins.

Thanks for opinion. But still there are many ways where online appointments may be useful and helpful. For instance, when you already have a diagnosis concluded by another doctor and you want a second opinion.
Or for example, you simple don't have time/opportunity to visit a doctor. Services like our platform WELL (https://joinwell.io) may really help.

Good news and good luck for your medical project by accepting blockchain as a means of payment ,I also have a doctor's acquaintance and he has also been joining bitcointalk since 2017 , I will tell him about your project may be able to you discuss with him , health is very important for human well I respect every doctor including my acquaintance

[RonJohannson]

Man anything would be better that what the US healthcare system has set up right now, the payments are still ridiculously paper based.  Factor in the trillions of dollars that are spent on healthcare every year and it's a prime market to be disrupted with a digital currency.  Can't tell you how many times I've spent an hour on the phone trying to figure out my bill with a healthcare provider, when they received the check, and all that. 
 

[KesoNie]

This could also be a great opportunity for a bitcoin to become a worldwide legal mood of payment I think. This could be very helpful to bitcoin to become more popular and also for a society to accept bitcoin and adopt bitcoin also as a means of payment, and also become their investments too, which will become also very helpful to them.

[Pan Troglodytes]

Any other merchants or services accepting BTC? I need to know where I can spend bitcoin and how. Thanke you!

hey mate your question is off-topic but I can help you. But beware you should not spam other people's threads next time.
There is this map https://coinmap.org/#/world/50.09996918/14.46910948/8
It will tell you where you can spend bitcoins.

[imadmirer]

This is a thought that needs to be well analysed where clinics, pharmacies, hospitals and doctors accepting fees in terms of bitcoins. Out of the aforementioned four, doctors are individuals and the rest of the three are institutions. When it comes to doctors, well it is not easy to find one who would accept payment in terms of bitcoins.

Many times a doctor's fee is per visit basis and his earning gradually become an everyday affair unless a doctor too is a salaried employee of a hospital (sometimes this too happens especially with the junior doctors in a few countries). So it is not easy for the doctors to get going upon accepting bitcoins. Again, the fact of paying a doctor in terms of bitcoin as of now seems a little pointless.

However, when we consider the institutions like hospitals and clinics well the option of accepting payment through bitcoin should be made available as far as I personally am concerned. I do not as yet know any of these healthcare providers accepting bitcoins, there could be a few, but it is better to have this option open.

When patients come from different countries or tourists when they fall sick, it becomes easy for them to pay in terms of bitcoins than go through the whole process of currency exchange. This in fact makes things easier for people and patients. The hassle of carrying a card or cash can be bypassed. Such an arrangement should be promoted that makes things comvenient for all of us who are world citizens, where our world is getting smaller and closer.

Thats cool one. This is second thread I guess that I have seen reading such services. The other one was about different services but this one is even better. We could just pay the doc from the virtual world for wasting our money on the medicine which are the harmful drugs really. Lolz!

Well, speaking about the service it does seem to me innovative and will take giant leap in the future for sure. I don't really think my practitioner will really like the idea to get paid in terms of bitcoin but I'm sure you will do great with this services. Hope to see some lists in the future updates if you could. The website is fine but you may wish to update a complete list of doctors according to the region and then everyone can access it easily.

Hello! Thanks, that would be awesome to discuss with the doctors and get their opinion:) Though on WELL platform doctors would be able to accept fiat as well)

Do you know any doctors/ clinics that can accept cryptocurrency as a payment for their services? Any countries are welcome!

Thats cool one. This is second thread I guess that I have seen reading such services. The other one was about different services but this one is even better. We could just pay the doc from the virtual world for wasting our money on the medicine which are the harmful drugs really. Lolz!

Well, speaking about the service it does seem to me innovative and will take giant leap in the future for sure. I don't really think my practitioner will really like the idea to get paid in terms of bitcoin but I'm sure you will do great with this services. Hope to see some lists in the future updates if you could. The website is fine but you may wish to update a complete list of doctors according to the region and then everyone can access it easily.

Thanks for opinion! Like your idea of listing the doctors on the web-site. Will forward to the team.
Would be happy to see you on our thread here, on Bitcointalk,  also)

Please tell me, do you support also other health-related professions like psychologists ? This type of advice can be provided by the means of videoconference easily and I think it would be great to extend what you are doing to this field too. Please let me know.

Yes, we do. We want to attract as many specialists in different fields as possible. So if you have someone on mind, don't hesitate to write us to get details)

If this project is really implemented, this will give a great impetus to the development of bitcoin. After all, it already goes far beyond the sphere of economy, exchanges and so on. Bitcoin in medicine is a new future.

[maryhansenn]

This is great! I can not wait to get loose of cash and to pay with virtual coins everywhere. I think this is how the future will look like

[aray80]

This is good news for bitcoin users, so with this kind of health facility, a bitcoin deal would be easier without having to go through an exchange to complete the payment ...

[HasHe]

It would be happy to to see if bitcoin gets accepted by doctors so that bitcoin goes much deeper in to the main stream of usage as a currency. Nowadays we could see bitcoin getting accepted as payment in health care industries, real estate, shipping industries.Earlier it got accepted only in online shops. Bitcoin usage getting diversified and more sectors have started to realize that they could no more avoid cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin and we could expect mass adoption in the near future.

[yanesna3]

now everyone can't wait to get sick so they can spend their coins.

LOL. Good joke. However, this project does not seem to me something like scam. Suppose the idea of spending Bitcoins for health is not the worst one (but not also the new one as well). Even in 2014 docs were taking payment in BTC. This is an old article about it: http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/physicians-now-taking-payment-bitcoin

[juiceannabel]

Great, now the bitcoin is reaching many aspect in our life.
Include health matters.
More hospitals and clinics should accept crypto currencies too.

     i gotta say, you have a great project. this will really help a lot of crypto currency users to really stay within the crypto world. knowing that there are services like this in here. but i really have one concern, most of the doctors out there that are veterans are completely very successful already and well positioned in life. can you state any reason why a great quality doctor with a good life would still be interested to be in this project? because in my understanding, doctors really are very careful with just about everything that they do because they want to protect their names and licence. and looking at the state of cryptos nowadays with the public, i do not think good doctors will risk their names on something like this. which then bothers me a lot on what the quality of the services will be. not that i am saying that this is impossible, i am just curious and would really appreciate if someone can shed some light regarding this matter. thanks and good day.

This is so far, a great idea for cryptocurrency. It only indicates that cryptocurrency is into great and helpful platforms. And this is a good news for all the people around the world who worried about the situation of cryptocurrency at this moment.

[deviant99]

This is a great project and hoping a succeed on your team to be able to connect to patient easily. Bitcoin has a lot of benefits for all of us. This project is a bridge to aid the easiness to pay. This kind of service should implement around.

[zeaderza]

If it can be implemented, the use of cryptocurrencies becomes important and can come into our lives, not just those of us who understand cryptocurrencies. Ordinary people know cryptocurrencies and even join the world of cryptocurrencies.

Agree. Especially when it refers to our own health. Healthcare industry now is facing a lot of challenges, it's even disrupted. Blockchain with its features can make it better)

The acceptance of bitcoin as mode of payment at health care centers and clinics is really an encouraging thing. This will not help the owners of bitcoin to use their bitcoin in case of emergency but it will also result in increase in fame and popularity of bitcoin in the international market. In the near future, there will be number of other places too where you will be able to use your bitcoin for paying the bills.

[dificanovi]

I am very happy if the medical clinic accepts payments with bitcoin.
I can pay my medical bills with bitcoin when I am sick, I feel very happy because the payment process can be through the internet.

Completely agree with your statement. the more crypto is used in daily and habitual things (which are actually of the most importance), the more crypto will get integrated and accepted by authorities.

If this is a real news and medical world is also accepting bitcoin, it is a time for celebration for the bitcoin community because it is another important step taken by one of the most common and useful profession of the world. Doctors are going to play important role in the publicity of bitcoin. They are going to increase the real life use of bitcoin. I am so glad after reading this thread. People have really started believing in bitcoin.

[Spades77]

It's a great idea, but I don't think this will happen anytime soon, for our country at least. Most of the doctors and clinics are just accepting cash or using accredited health card. But if it's going to happen in the future, it'll be great, am sure.

Agree, but nowadays everything changes pretty fast and more technologies get integrated into different fields. So, hopefully, once we will reach that stage with crypto payments for medical services.
Though such solutions exist even now. For instance WELL - the project we develop is all about providing healthcare services using  blockchain technology (via telemedicine we can connect doctors and patients worldwide providing high-quality treatment). and on the platform people will be able to pay the way they prefer (it can be well tokens, crypto or fiat money - it's up to them)

You're right. Crypto payments are borderless and what's more such easier to do if we talk about cross-border transactions.

I can say it's only a first step in this direction. Crypto is not actually accepted quite a lot yet, though that can be so in future.
Still cool projects appear that use crypto and blockchain technology to make healthcare more advanced, secure and efficient. Our platform - WELL - can hopefully become an example of them

[capsicumpepper]

Everyone would expect this to happen, including me. Due to the acceptance of bitcoin for the cost of treatment to doctors and clinics, it proves that bitcoin can be accepted by all societies including the world of health and facilitate the people who invest in Criptocurrency to treat the diseases they suffer.

That's a good idea. We really want to create a global network of specialists that can join our telehealth platform (and now we are developing the product). But as I've mentioned paying wth crypto is something we really want to see in the near future, and for now we'll also work with fiat money also.

That was a very great idea since there are a lot of people who really needs to go to doctor to check their health, medical bills will be cheaper if we are going to use cryptocurrency since the value in the market is very high even it was dumped now a days.

[hadveach]

wow ,,, very interesting, I am happy with the application of doctors who receive payment with crypto.

but also must be adapted to public circumstances, maybe currently only a few people who can only use it.

and I hope this new breakthrough can be used in every country, because it can have a positive effect on the crypto market.

im also hopping that this idea could have a break through globaly because this could greatly affect the state of bitcoin. affect that i mean is in a good way or advantage like for example bitcoin can became more popular in the public because even doctors and hospital are now trusted it. Also bitcoins value can somehow increase and pump due to the demand that it will get in the mass because people will now have a reason to buy and use bitcoin in the means of medical reason.

Interesting, but i saw some healthcare ICO's that accept payment and based on cryptocurrency. But, this is a cool and great project for me. I saw a ICO that is free from asking about the your healthcare, its free to call a doctor and that is so nice!

[kmrunner]

I think there are atleast 200 clinics or in medical industry accepting bitcoin according to coinmap.org. It is a good idea if  doctors would accept this as MOD especially for those people who have no health insurance coverage  but had invested in Bitcoin.

[mOgliE]

Hi,

The project is interesting but I have some questions...

1- How do you check that people registering as doctors are really doctors? You know, I guess, that in many countries (if not all), studies to become doctor, nurse and so on, are really hard and demanding. But people can pretend they are doctors, then register. You would be ready to risk people's life?

2- In some countries, being a foreign doctor is not enough to get a right to practice. If you are.. I don't know, Bulgarian doctor, you may not be allowed automatically to be a doctor in the UK for example. So, again, how can you make sure that people from different countries are well entitled to practice?

3- Due to the volatility of bitcoin, how can you make sure that surgery operation and routine visits are not completely overcharged? That's the main problem of bitcoin so if you know a way to solve it, please share it!

Please, answer these few questions, I will have more. This topic really matters to me, so please explain your projects with further details!

[Arumi.Bilqis]

technological developments are increasing rapidly so there is nothing I can not be sure that sooner or later it will be achieved and is expected to facilitate access to hospital payments but all the necessary agreement between the parties involved.
and later will facilitate the pasiean in making payments that have no cash because the hospital has received payment using bitcoin

[syaripudin]

it is very interesting that there will be a clinic or medical doctor who will accept payment by using crypto payment method. but before this can be realized I think there needs to be an understanding of people who do not understand about the method of payment that uses crypto currency because although there are certainly many people who have not understood at all about the method of payment by using crypto system. I think this will work well if the way tersebuat can be realized to all levels of society.

[Veterock]

Things are developing fast. It's good to know that more and more people get into bitcoin and we all are heading the same direction: bitcoin world

[MakeMoneyBtc]

It is very hard for doctors to accept bitcoin since most of them(at least in my country none of them, maybe just private clinics) are not even accepting credit cards. Also, only a few shops and companies accept bitcoin because of its disadvantages now, so I dont think doctors are going to accept it anytime soon.

It would be nice to create a legal firm that connects bitcoin users directly with the companies so they can pay with bitcoin and the companies receive directly money but that implicates a lot of work and not many are going to accept this because not so many people uses bitcoin to pay for products or services and those who are using have to pay pretty high fees for using it. Also the companies that would accept it they would have to pay a fee for this service of exchanging bitcoin into money and they are in disadvantage.
