The decision has meant that people who want to keep their healthcare private can hide their medical payments from their bank. ‘Some patients wish to maintain extreme privacy regarding their medical care, and have identified that payment in bitcoin serves that end better than other methods,’ Abramson told CoinDesk. In November this cosmetic surgery clinic in Florida became the first of its kind to accept bitcoin, while this Argentinian dentist also accepts bitcoin payments.”
