“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.
