Mental health provider networks like Headway, Alma, and Grow Therapy help clinicians accept insurance without the administrative burden. They handle credentialing, billing, and payer negotiations.

Provider networks are reshaping mental health practice. These platforms handle credentialing, billing, and patient acquisition in exchange for a fee or revenue share. We compare network platforms, virtual care employers, and marketplace options to help you find the right fit.
