Progressive Care, a personalized health care technology firm announced today that it will start accepting Bitcoin as a payment for Rapid COVID-19 tests across all its PharmcoRX locations. Alan Jay Weisberg, the CEO of the firm said the decision was taken keeping the needs of foreign tourists coming to the country, as cash use has declined. He explained,
“This is an excellent alternative for post-pandemic tourists coming into our communities from abroad. It also allows those with an alternative view of payment systems to get the testing services they require as we strive to maintain a shield against a fresh resurgence of this terrible virus.”
He added,
Pharmacol has tested over 10,000 people for COVID-19 to date, generating over one million dollars in testing revenues. We are happy to invite Bitcoin holders to our locations for all of their COVID-19 testing needs.”
The decision was also influenced by the ongoing Bitcoin conference in Miami with over 50,000 expected attendees. As tourists are required to offer a mandatory COVID-19 Negative report, the initiative by Progressive care can come to the rescue of many. The firm has also issued a scannable QR code for tourists to streamline the payment process and make it easier for them to get their COVID reports.
