About Headway

Headway is a platform that connects patients with therapists and psychiatrists who accept their health insurance. Unlike subscription-based services, Headway enables providers to bill your insurance directly, so you only pay your copay (typically $0-30). The network includes 35,000+ licensed therapists and prescribers across most US states. Search by insurance, location, specialty, and availability. Book appointments online with next-day availability common. Headway handles insurance verification, billing, and claims. Particularly valuable for those with insurance that covers mental health but struggle to find in-network providers accepting new patients.
