Headway
Headway is a New York-based mental health technology company building the largest insurance-credentialed network of therapists, psychiatrists, and prescribers in the United States. Founded in 2019 by Andrew Adams, Jake Sussman, Dan Ross, and Kevin Chan, Headway operates a two-sided platform that helps independent mental health providers get credentialed with major commercial payers, Medicare Advantage, and select Medicaid managed care plans, while helping patients find affordable in-network therapy. The platform handles insurance credentialing (claimed to be as fast as 30 days with top payers), benefit verification, claims submission and adjudication, appeals, clawback protection, biweekly guaranteed provider payments, scheduling, telehealth, EHR-style clinical notes, and compliance tooling. Headway is free to join for providers and earns revenue through commissions paid by insurance carriers. Its payer network spans 100+ plans across all 50 states and DC, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, Evernorth, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, supporting more than 70,000 licensed providers delivering care in 57+ languages across 20+ clinical specialties. Headway has raised over $325M from Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive, Accel, GV, Spark Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation, with a valuation around $2.3B. Headway does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDK, or partner integration program — its platform is offered exclusively as a managed SaaS to providers, group practices, and health plans. The headway.co GitHub organization exists but only contains forks of third-party open-source libraries (Starlette, Pydantic, Flower, etc.) used internally by Headway's engineering teams. Note that the unrelated headwayapp.co company (a product changelog widget) does publish a public REST API and should not be confused with this provider.
Headway is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Healthcare, Mental Health, Behavioral Health, Therapy, and Psychiatry.
Headway’s developer surface includes FAQ, GitHub presence, and 14 more developer resources.
