About Kathy Foster
Kathy Foster has spent her career working inside the systems most families struggle to navigate, from hospital billing and medical office coordination to insurance claims and patient appeals. She knows how care gets delayed, denied, or derailed, and more importantly, how to get it back on track.
For five years, Kathy served as the Patient Advocate at Sutter Coast Hospital, where she worked directly with patients to resolve billing disputes, fix insurance issues, and coordinate between departments and providers. Before that, she supervised a busy urology clinic, overseeing operations for five physicians and managing a team of twelve. Her work has spanned surgical coordination, medical records, benefits education, and Medicare audits.
What ties it all together is this: Kathy knows how the system works, and where it breaks. She started this practice because too many people are left to manage the chaos alone. Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis, trying to get care authorized, or just need someone to make sense of it all, she brings experience, calm, and clarity when it matters most.
