"Headway is an absolute game-changer. It is, quite simply, what allowed me to move into private practice. I honestly don’t understand why it isn’t used by every clinician."

North Carolina-based LCMHC with an expertise in addiction treatment
"Accepting insurance expands my reach. My entire goal is to provide more accessible patient-centered care and Headway helps make that a reality."

NP and solo practice owner specializing in women’s mental health, depression, and ADHD
"I chose to work with Headway as a way to focus on the work my clinicians and I do. Putting energy into billing in the past has taken time away from supporting people who need it most. Insurance is hard to understand — Headway takes the headache out of the equation."

LCSW partnering with Headway to streamline and empower her group practice
"Not only has Headway helped so many patients by providing accessible mental health care through therapists and prescribers like myself, but they’ve also helped me grow my private practice to provide the best possible care to my patients."

“Without Headway, we would not accept insurance. It’s that simple.”

Payments you
can count on

“During a cyber attack, Headway continued to pay us. If it wasn't for their consistent payments, I would have been forced to shut down my private practice.”

We promise consistent payments for the care you deliver, whether we get paid or not.

Plus, we’ll protect you from clawbacks, even if a claim is denied, a charge is disputed, or a client doesn't pay after a session. So when you get paid, you stay paid.
