TeleClinic, a German digital health platform, has selected local payments company Wirecard to digitise online payment process for private patients.
TeleClinic is a portal that allows patients to digitally consult and get treatment from doctors. The service is usually available to private and legally insured persons, with private patients initially having to bear medical bill payments all by themselves.
