Running a growing group practice today often means playing part-time insurance coordinator, part-time biller, and full-time therapist. When the administrative burden feels too time-consuming, many group practices stitch together solutions that aren’t built for their needs — or don’t take insurance at all. The end result? More stress and less growth.
Headway is the only purpose-built platform that simplifies insurance billing and admin for group practices, so you can grow with confidence and care for more clients. Below, learn more about how Headway can help you scale your business — without the administrative headache that often accompanies it.
Why Headway is built for group practices
Headway’s platform is built to help group practices easily accept insurance at scale, with minimal overhead costs and less administrative stress. As a group practice on Headway, you can count on:
- Fast, free credentialing for your whole team
- Insurance billing and admin support, all handled for you
- Consistent, biweekly payments
- Competitive reimbursement rates
- Quick, easy client insurance verification
- Intuitive provider portal with EHR included
- Ability to manage staff clinician’s accounts or allow them to access their own account to perform basic admin
- New client vetting and scheduling through Headway’s marketplace
Practice in-network with confidence
Simplify insurance and save time on your entire workflow — from compliance and billing to credentialing and admin.
Explore Headway’s tools, which are built for group admins like you
Headway’s platform and its key features were designed with group practices like yours in mind. Simplify your practice’s administrative burden so you can spend more time strategically growing your practice — and expanding your providers’ ability to support more clients with their mental health.
Simplified billing
On Headway, you can easily submit and manage all session claims across your entire team — all in one place, and in minutes rather than hours. This group-specific Headway tool rolls up every provider session on the practice calendar, allowing you to bill insurance for multiple sessions in one click.
Practice management tools for administrators
Manage every aspect of your practice using Headway’s tools and systems. Our platform is built to streamline your practice admin, but our tools are also flexible. When you join Headway, you still have practice management capabilities even if you don’t choose to solely work in Headway’s EHR. Practice admins can choose how much access each provider has, from fully independent to fully admin-managed.
Providers without full admin access can still access:
- Calendars with full scheduling access and ability to confirm session details
- Client list with the ability to add clients
- Messaging portal
- Insurance status tab
- Profile settings, including photo, name, specializations, languages, highlights, bio, education, and demographics
- Address settings and ability to add a practice location
- Individual provider intake form
Limited-access Headway providers can’t access your practice’s financial information or the calendars and profiles of other providers in the group practice.
Payment reports
Make paying providers and staff and reporting and budgeting easy by exporting payment data for each bi-monthly pay period. Users with admin permissions can easily download and import data into your practice’s own payroll system, including Gusto, ADP, and more.
How it works: What joining Headway looks like
Whether you’re looking to launch a new group therapy practice from scratch or take the next step to scale an existing one, Headway has the tools to support you in the process.
For growing practices
If you’re credentialing providers from scratch and want to scale your practice, Headway can help you grow quickly with low overhead costs and minimal administrative burden. You can:
- Set up your practice account
- Determine admin permissions
- Set up clinician profiles
- Find new clients on Headway’s marketplace or outside of Headway on therapist directories
- Port over existing clients
- Set up your payment method
- Fill out one-time credentialing forms
- Begin seeing clients and billing insurance in as few as 30 days
For established practices
If you’re an established practice with your own clients and clinicians, Headway’s white-glove onboarding process makes it easy to credential additional clinicians or get credentialed with new insurance providers.
As an established practice, you also have the option to maintain and use contracts you have outside of Headway. In either case: Headway negotiates the best possible rates for your group practice and handles billing details to maximize time and income potential.
The onboarding process is similar for established practices:
- Set up your practice account
- Determine admin permissions
- Set up clinician profiles
- Port over existing clients
- Set up your payment method
- Fill out one-time credentialing forms
- Begin seeing clients and billing insurance in as few as 30 days
