Kansas City area podiatrist Dr. Joel Foster DPM, believes in providing transparent, accessible, and high-quality podiatric care through what is commonly known as the Direct Care payment model. This innovative approach to healthcare delivery eliminates the complexity of insurance and allows us to focus entirely on what matters most - your foot and ankle health.
What is Direct Care?
Direct Care is a simplified healthcare payment model that removes insurance companies from the doctor-patient relationship. Instead of billing through insurance, patients pay their healthcare provider directly through affordable monthly membership fees or pay-per-visit arrangements. This streamlined approach offers numerous benefits for both patients and healthcare providers.
