More than 100 health care providers have signed up including hospitals, clinics and physical therapy centres. The ride-hailing service said Thursday its Uber Health business will handle rides set up by doctor’s offices or other health care providers and then bill that business, not the patient, for the service. Uber is driving deeper into health care by offering to take patients in every U.S. market where it operates to their next medical appointment. Uber rival Lyft offers a similar service called Concierge, which allows health care providers to set up rides for patients to get to appointments. Adams Clinical runs clinical trials for drug companies and started using Uber Health in the middle of last year.
