Thank you for this — we hear you on referrals, and we appreciate you sharing what's working (rates) and what isn't. Patients on Headway search by accepted insurance, specialization, and personal preferences, and we're actively investing in patient marketing, physician partnerships, and insurance company partnerships to drive more traffic to provider profiles.

Do not recommend for clients, especially
Marginal, for providers.
Terrible, for clients.
Barely able to keep their act together, their incompetence and business practices negatively impacting clients on a regular. Ex: clients routinely charged far higher rates than average; much worse: their inaccurate info leaves some clients owing thousands bc, many months after starting treatment and their plans "being verified", the company finally figures out they're NOT actually in network with the plan and now the client owes all that money out of pocket. Providers have to know to manually verify EVERY plan with them and not allow their AI to do it, and to tell clients to do the same on their end.
I also had to contact my state's insurance commissioner over another type of billing problem that was, again, negatively impacting my client; it was magically fixed by them a few hours after I told them I'd done so, after several months of back and forth with them and no resolution. They refused to take any accountability for their mistake, in the end, or the truly adverse effect it had on the client.
They also can't figure how contractors differ from employees (demands keep increasing on us, when all they are is, basically, a biller).
Needed me to tell them laws in my state had changed; crickets until I reached out (6 months after law went into effect; I had just found out), then an email blast, so I guess I'm on their legal team now?
Or.....they were just going to keep breaking that law until someone called them out?
Neither choice is great.
In the process of leaving. It's too bad, bc the idea was great. Their execution however is abysmal. On par with the insurance companies, in fact.

I had to escalate twice and spent hours going back and forth until finally it was solved. As a provider I felt unsupported until Genesis stepped in
Response from HeadwayAug 17, 2026
Hi Elena,
We're sorry to hear this experience required so many escalations and took so much of your time — that's not the standard we hold ourselves to. We're glad the issue was ultimately resolved, and we'll take this feedback seriously as we work to improve how quickly we get providers the right support.

Seriously I think you did the best job you could with the erase you had. However I really hope there is a better way to handle two different emails for the same person. After all you were writing me on one E mail address which was not the email address that I had contacted Mr. Jones on.

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for the feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when technical issues — like messages not appearing or sessions not starting — get in the way of care. We also hear your concern about how we communicated across different contact methods.
