Headway

Headway operates a national mental-health care platform that connects patients, therapists and psychiatrists, and insurance companies. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York, Headway builds the first asset-free national network of behavioral-health providers who accept insurance, handling insurance credentialing, claims management, payments, and scheduling for clinicians while letting patients search for in-network providers, book appointments online, and see costs up front. The company partners with 45+ major insurers (Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar) and, as of 2026, powers 600,000+ appointments per month across all 50 states. Headway is backed by a16z, Thrive, Accel, GV, Spark Capital, and Forerunner. It maintains SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance. Headway does not currently publish a public developer API or developer portal.

Headway is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Mental Health, Healthcare, Behavioral Health, and Therapy.

Headway’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, FAQ, GitHub presence, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/headway: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
