Payments you can count on

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.
“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.”

Better rates, passed on to you

Therapy for the many, not the few

Accepting insurance means more than just submitting claims — it’s direct action. Each mental health provider who goes in-network with Headway expands access to countless Americans in need who’d otherwise be forced to choose between paying out of pocket, or not getting care at all. This is our impact, multiplied.

We exist to empower and advocate for providers like you to accept insurance with ease, all while doing what you do best: being there for those who need you. So far, we’ve helped over 50,000 providers build their best practice and reach more people in need. Whenever you’re ready, we’re here for you too.
