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

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

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
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 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.

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.

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 .

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
