Headway

Search for in-network therapists and psychiatric prescribers, book online, and pay only your insurance copay or coinsurance.

Headway bills your insurer, shows an estimated cost when you book, and charges you only your copay, coinsurance or deductible after the session.

What it costs

Covered by insurance

From Copay or coinsurance with insurance; no self-pay option

Insurance may cover it

How you start: Check your insurance is accepted, then book

No platform fee; you pay your plan's cost-share (copay, coinsurance or deductible), billed after the session, with an estimate shown at booking. Medication-management visits can cost more than the estimate. Providers may charge late-cancellation fees that insurance does not cover. No cash-pay option.

How we rate research

What we couldn't verify

  • Clinical evidence is limited or still emerging

Policy says it does not use personal information for targeted advertising and did not sell or share it for cross-context ads in the prior 12 months; you can request deletion (health records kept as law requires). Unresolved private class actions (2024, 2025) allege trackers sent data to Google and LinkedIn; no regulator action found.
