Awful
As a consumer, Headway is TERRIBLE. I am also a therapist at a practice that doesn't use Headway, so I'm very familiar with how billing and claims work. My own therapist is in network with my insurance. When her agency switched to using Headway, Headway started billing for the full out of network cost despite my provider being in network. After weeks of escalation and back and forth with Headway (there is no direct contact number so you rely on email to reach them), and tons of misinformation on their end, they finally acknowledged their error and refunded me over $800. I had to stop receiving services at this time to avoid accumulating incorrect charges. Fast forward a few months and they have my copay wrong again. The provider is still in network and nothing has changed with my insurance. But now Headway is stating that they're out of network and that I need to find a new provider. I have no idea what's going on at the back end of this company. I have submitted dozens of insurance claims for my own patients and worked previously at a large dental firm in the billing department. It is really not that complicated to submit claims for reimbursement, and resolve in/out-of-network errors. It baffles me that the reps at Headway seem to have no idea how the process works. I'm currently in another hold of receiving services while Headway sorts out their mistakes 🤦♀️ my experience with Headway has been incredibly frustrating and disruptive from a consumer standpoint. There are tons of other great platforms that do the same thing- I recommend practices do not use Headway!
