~BTC in Medical Industry

[waitforme]

Is it possible someday that Medical Hospitals accept BTC as a payment for Hospital bills and other fees??

This can happen if any country legalises Bitcoin and promotes the use of Bitcoin as an online payment solution more than FIAT. But this is very difficult to do because they need to change the way the payment of the whole apparatus.

These are very possible and already we have projects in the Cryptoworld who are aimed at working to promote quality healthcare delivery. I believe with bitcoin, payments  for healthcare can be quick.

Yes it is possible. Although i don't know if it will be implemented in many hospitals for slow transactions and big fees might be a problem and the volatility of bitcoin might be one of the issue.
Also one of the issue or problem that i see in this is the government, for some hospitals are controlled by government so i think that if ever it is implemented, mostly would be in private hospitals.

The healthcare sector is plagued with issues related to localized data storage that can impede information sharing between medical experts. The public still associates the term blockchain primarily with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. But when looked at more closely we can see  that the influence of the blockchain goes far beyond into industries like healthcare, pharma, etc. example by introducing the blockchain within the healthcare domain. it can become easier to share patient records with multiple parties as well as to relay pertinent data between different hospitals and medical institutions in a completely transparent and systematic manner.

Yeah, maybe that could happen. Someday if the bitcoin price is stable then not only the media industry or hospitals that receive payment with bitcoin. I am sure there will be many industries, shops, or government offices that accept payment transactions with bitcoin. But, It will happen if bitcoin has got legal status from all countries. In addition, it is possible that bitcoin changes from a decentralized system to centralization. If decentralization is not necessarily the price of bitcoin will be stable so as to make people still hesitate in transacting with bitcoin. If bitcoin has been run with a centralized system then it has become a guaranteed bitcoin stable price and trust for bitcoin would be better.

Yes this is possible i hope everyone see medical industries with bitcoin in future and i am sure this will be possible soon. if this happen then we can purchase medicine from bitcoin also  people pay there fees in hospital for their treatment with bitcoin payment also Hospitals pay their doctors and other employees salary in bitcoins.

They will must to have to do it, but we are a talking of a 'possible future'

[Spontebob]

Of course it's possible but the question is when. Since a lot of hospitals are run by the government it isn't likely that bitcoin will be accepted by hospitals anytime soon. So we just have to hope.

There’s only one hospital that accepts bitcoin as a payment in United States but there are clinics that accepts bitcoin but unfortunately, based on what I’ve searched, there are only 2% of patients that uses it. So it will not be impossible.

[Pemburu dollar]

Why not. It is possible for hospital or medical industry. Bitcoin for marketing purposes, shopping 🛍mall, restaurants, bars and clubs, bitcoin are accepted. So i think bitcoin for appropriate in medical industry.

I think the government should legalize Bitcoin so this will happen soon and we can pay without using cash.
And of course this can happen very quickly and take a long time for this to happen because if the health sector receives Bitcoin, many other industries will receive Bitcoin.

Is it possible someday that Medical Hospitals accept BTC as a payment for Hospital bills and other fees??

Yes. As of now, Bitcoin has not yet earned the trust that it needs to. It will be really possible if the owner of the hospital will take the risk and be open minded to the fluctuation of Bitcoin. The thing that will be surely possible  for the medical hospitals that will adopt is the Blockchain technology.

The world we find ourselves is full of wonderful possibilities. It is very possible for medical hospitals to accept bitcoin as a payment alternative for hospital bills and other fees for some few years to come. The fast-growing of the crypto community will make this possible.

[TmottaDing]

In fact, there are a lot of projects that started their own ICO in order to reach medical centre by crypto, it is more than interesting but i really doubt that they are going to success on a long term, it is not an easy thing to do to be honest.

It is a good news of the hospital that accept btc because we can easily pay them without doing cashout. But I think the hospitals need to study about cryptocurrency before they accept btc for payment because cryptocurrency's price is not stable.

[wow.magic]

Theoretically, of course it is possible. Based on one website I've checked, there's only one hospital in the united states that accepts bitcoin[1]. Expect it to take time for more hospitals to accept bitcoin though, as they're most likely spending more time on some other things than wasting time for bitcoin payment channels as bitcoin currently isn't even widely used in the United States yet (I think).

I agree with this post. Anything in this world is possible. If there is already one hospital that uses a bitcoin as their payment in hospital bills, and seeing it successfuly with this kind of strategy other hospitals may also used their marketing strategy in  using bitcoin in medical industry. And it will be a big help to the bitcoin world to gain more the true value of btc.

it would be possible if only the whole merchandise and markets would have accepted it as a new currency and the adoption would take place globally otherwise it is hard for medical industry to be prioritize on this issue.

Ofcourse yes medical area is one of the biggest concern in the world and i believe that dev one day may realized what they are missing,i remember i have been a part of scammers ico that focus in Prisoners in the US,so if people cam think of this then why not for medical issues that i guess may lead the team to success and will be praised by the whole community in time

[Hustinog]

Yea it's possible for bitcoin to use as payment. But, seeing that now bitcoin have big fees and slow speed transaction, I think this is not efficient.
But, an altcoin that have low fees and fast transaction speed will be more possible to use as payment

I think it's also possible to use bitcoin in the medical industry like hospitals. If we can use bitcoin to buy medicine it would be a big help to the btc world, but in the case of bitcoin for now it would be hard due to the slow speed in transaction and having big fees and also due to the low amount of btc for now.

[Nicol3]

Yes I think it would be possible, hopefully in any type of payment too may it be medical bills or your household bills like electric bill. I think a lot of people would appreciate that to making their lives more convenient especially for emergency cases too.

It would be great but many consider it unprofitable and in vain as bitcoin in medicine is very profitable and in General still free space for development

That's possible if Bitcoin totally approved by government because hospital is popular almost all transaction there are subjected for taxes.
