Medical Services For Crypto

in #cryptocurency7 years ago

I own a medical practice in Miami. Its a small one but my volume increases every week. I run a cash only clinic, meaning no headaches of insurances. I recently started accepting payment in Gold using "Goldmoney.com". They make it easy to receive payment in grams of gold from anyone. I can later redeem for cash or physical gold! How great is that? Getting paid in Gold instead of paper.
More recently however, I have floated the idea of accepting payment in Cryptocurrency. The challenge will be finding customers who have a Cryptocurrency wallet. For now, I will have to take money from my bank account and directly use it to purchase Steem, BTC, ETH, ETC, etc. If anyone knows a more efficient or already established payment system, let me know. If one does not exist, it may be a profitable start-up idea. I heard Visa is hiring a blockchain specialist, and rumors are they will be starting a payment system with Cryptos sometime in the future.
So if you come to Miami and need to see a Doc, swing by Mercy hospital and ask for Dr. G. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Gold, and Crypto! What other medical office can say that? (for now).

Good day Doctor, I'm surprised no one had mentioned this sooner. Have you heard of bitpay, https://bitpay.com ? From what I heard clients could pay in Bitcoin (maybe even use shapeshift to pay altcoins to bitpay) and the service automatically cash out in USD or offer some ratio of USD and Bitcoin.

Potentially couldn't you make a new coinbase account for the office like a business account and that can be method to send and receive payments? I've heard coinbase is FDIC insured but I'm not sure about all the legal details. If it's a matter of invoices I'm not sure. But if a client is attempting to send a payment you just need to see the transaction hash ID that they sent a payment and can follow the blockchain for number of confirmations.
