Headway builds a platform that makes mental healthcare easier to access and afford. For individuals, it helps users find therapists and psychiatrists who accept their insurance, letting them filter by preferences and compare thousands of providers so out-of-pocket costs are lower. For providers, it reduces administrative work related to insurance, enabling in-network care without the bureaucratic hassle. The product connects patients and providers through insurance-enabled matching and handles the related paperwork and billing so care can be more affordable and straightforward. Unlike networks that only list providers, Headway actively streamlines both sides of the process by coordinating with health plans and practices to maximize in-network care. The goal is to create a system where finding, paying for, and receiving therapy is simple, affordable, and accessible for more people.
