Hello Paulino,

Primedic is a great program. I'm glad you entered the competition. You mentioned your revenue model but would you be able to update your entry with some more information about if Primedic allows patients with pre-existing conditions use their services and if Primedic treats seriously ill patients or do they have to seek treatment elsewhere?

Thank you very much!
Clay

Hello Clay,
Thank you for your comment. I cannot update the entry since it is past the entry deadline. However, to answer your questions: 1) Yes, of course, patients with pre-existing conditions can use Primedic services. The membership is open to anyone. 2) Primedic has a referral system whereby patients who need specialist attention (such as seriously ill patients) can schedule consultations with doctors in hospitals or other medical clinics at a highly discounted price. Thus, Primedic is a very comprehensive membership.
