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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

W12 – Blockchain protocol
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.

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.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
