Topic: Why is bitcoin not used in medical billing? - page 12. (Read 2505 times)
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
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.
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
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 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.
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/
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.

Maybe In the future, when the bitcoin price is more stable, It will be used in medical billing. Let see.
This gonna be a good once they implement it I think. But long process might be needed.
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.
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.

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 ...

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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
