Belle’s journey into healthcare was unplanned and unexpected
Not originally meant for healthcare, Belle launches a tech marketplace that delivers in-home hair, massage, nail and other wellness services.
Seniors quickly become the largest demographic, demanding regular pedicures. Two key learnings emerge:
Belle sunsets the legacy marketplace and dedicates its mission to closing this massive gap in care
Free ‘medical pedicures’ are wildly popular with health plan members across all ages, genders and backgrounds
Belle expands across multiple states and clients
Furthest from your central nervous and circulatory systems, feet are often first to deteriorate and manifest imminent systemic health issues. This makes the foot the perfect predictor of your overall wellness.
Your feet tell us where you’ve been and where you are going.
The data from our 250k+ visits allow us to accurately predict issues, identify at-risk members and determine optimal utilization.

What is your network coverage?
Belle’s network covers six states. New geographies can be up and running in just 60 days even with as few as hundreds of target members.
How do you contract with partners?
We contract in a variety of ways including a clinical/quality program, through an existing routine foot care benefit or a dedicated supplemental benefit.
Who are your nail techs and what is their background?
Nail technicians are licensed by state boards and undergo extensive background checks. They receive immersive training, examination and preceptorship before fieldwork, at which point they become ‘Belle Technicians’. Belle Techs are employees (not contractors) and receive a continuous feedback loop on each appointment’s performance as well as ongoing continued education from our clinical staff.
How do you ensure member safety?
All employees are thoroughly background checked before employment. Members have an opportunity to rate their appointment on a 1 to 5 scale after each appointment. Every score of 3 or lower is investigated.
Who is most likely to benefit with the Belle program?
Through a variety of data inputs, our predictive model outputs members who are most likely to benefit from the program and be accretive to partner ROI. Member characteristics typically include diabetes, CKD, neuropathy, vascular disease and a history of foot complications. Belle serves both Medicare and Medicaid members.
