Is it okay to invest in medical services companies, that are primarily health service and medical clinic providers but also may provide cosmetic services like plastic surgery? The second concern would be their fees are primarily built around insurance plans subsidizing the costs for users.

As always, a Shariah screening is paramount before making any judgement on their Shariah compliance.

So just to make this a bit more generic and help me understand - if a company provides (halal) medical services but makes money indirectly from the patient - via either the government (medicare plan) or insurance companies, is there anything wrong with this model in itself?
In principle, it would be acceptable for the doctor to receive his payment from the third party payment providers.
Allah knows best
