Headway Provider Platform

About Headway Provider Platform

Headway is a leading provider enablement platform that helps mental health clinicians build insurance-based private practices without the traditional administrative headaches. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York City, Headway has raised over $200 million in funding and works with over 25,000 therapists and psychiatrists across all 50 states. The platform handles insurance credentialing (typically 4-8 weeks), claims submission, payment processing, and patient referrals. Clinicians maintain their independent practice and set their own schedules while Headway manages the insurance complexity. Headway is in-network with major insurance carriers including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Anthem, and various Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Providers receive reimbursement rates typically ranging from $80-150+ per session depending on license type, location, and payer. Headway takes approximately 10% of each session as a platform fee. The platform also provides a patient directory and matching system, bringing new clients to providers. For clinicians wanting to accept insurance without joining a large telehealth company, Headway offers an attractive middle ground of infrastructure support while maintaining practice independence.
