Headway.co

I strongly discourage considering this company. Steer clear. As a client of a healthcare professional newly enrolled with Headway, my experience has been far from satisfactory. The insistence on having a credit card on file, despite my insurance covering the full amount, was a major inconvenience. Despite assurances that I would only be charged for last-minute cancellations or missed appointments, my credit card was billed over $100, contradicting their own confirmation that I owed nothing. Attempts to rectify the situation through emails were met with disregard. The provider affirmed that I did not owe anything, yet Headway showed no interest in addressing the erroneous charge. Immediate action on my part involved disputing the charge with my credit card company. Their response to my email only assured me of a $0 charge for future appointments, a statement I find hard to trust given their recent mishandling of billing. It appears that their modus operandi involves overcharging customers, potentially capitalizing on interest, and leaving clients to endure a protracted refund process. Adding insult to injury, they lure in new providers with a $250 incentive, contributing to the perception of a dubious scheme. My advice is to run away from this unscrupulous company and refrain from divulging any payment information. It's a shame they operate in such a manner.

I ended up with more stress than I had to begin with, and added anxiety to that. I tried this platform and Talkspace (which was even worse) because my insurance recommended them in their program. Unfortunately, these platforms are full of so-called half-professional providers with barely any experience who never respond nor show up. To make matters worse, you cannot cancel when they don't show after 30 minutes, or they will charge you $75 for that. Now, I have to take time out of my busy day to schedule sessions that never happened, and I need to see a real professional to vent about this platform and its poor service. I do not recommend it; it seems like they prioritize the provider and not the client. It's best to go to a real professional in person. Lesson learned.

In 2022, I encountered billing issues with Headway, as they miscalculated my co-pay for counseling sessions, resulting in a $1200 loss for them. Despite my switch to cash payments, contacting customer service was challenging, with limited responsiveness. Recently, after resuming services with Headway through an in-network insurance plan, they again miscalculated my co-pay, claiming $85 owed per session. Despite inquiries and escalations, the billing problem persists, causing frustration, financial strain, and even session cancellations. Headway's ongoing incompetence in handling insurance matters hinders mental health access and underscores the need for a more efficient customer service and billing department.

My mental health provider utilizes Headway, and the recurring issue of incorrect billing for sessions has become a constant frustration. Unlike other billing companies or providers I've engaged with, Headway consistently miscalculates my charges, deviating from the straightforward $25 co-pay that should apply. Engaging with their customer service has proven to be an unpleasant experience. The absence of a direct phone line and the unclear, possibly AI-generated or non-native English messages in the help center contribute to the overall dissatisfaction. The subpar performance of Headway as a company might even lead me to consider discontinuing my services with my mental health provider.

Considering my experience with Headway, it took a disappointing turn when they insisted on having my bank account username and password during the provider onboarding. When I suggested providing just the routing number for deposits, my communication was abruptly cut off. Despite multiple follow-up emails, there was no response. Insisting on sensitive login details raised serious concerns about scam security practices. It prompted me to withdraw from any further association with the company.

Starting with Headway has been a bit perplexing. Setting up my provider account proved challenging, especially with the insistence on using my CAQH credentials. While I've been with CAQH for years, sharing my username and password feels unnecessary. Headway should explore alternative vetting methods, aligning with industry standards to alleviate concerns about security. Is anyone else uneasy about divulging login details?

Headway has really helped my business grow by expanding my clientele and increasing my weekly bookings. Their help with paperwork and billing lets me concentrate on my clients. I like their support team and how fast they reply when I need help. The only problem I've faced is sometimes an insurance plan isn't accepted or there's a mix-up with copay, but the support team tries their best to help in these situations.

My experience with the company was disappointing. I reached out to confirm insurance acceptance, and they assured me all was fine. After a brief, 15-minute appointment with a therapist, I later discovered they didn't actually accept my insurance. Now I'm stuck with an unexpected bill of nearly $300. Communication and accuracy in insurance information were lacking, causing frustration and financial inconvenience.

Headway really makes getting credentials with insurance boards simple, which is super helpful for my private practice. Unlike before, I don't have to wait forever to get paid. Though, it would be better if they could negotiate better payment amounts with insurance boards. It's a shame some insurances don't pay enough for certain services. Hopefully, Headway will push for change, given the shortage of therapists.

The platform is generally satisfactory, with swift credentialing and reasonable rates. However, a notable drawback is the absence of access to clients' demographic details. Specializing in women's services, managing appointments with men has posed challenges. The process of redirecting them to a more suitable provider could have been smoother if demographic information was accessible before consultations.

The company seems alright, but what bothers me is that I can't leave reviews for therapists or providers. I had a bad experience with a therapist through Headway. It was really bad - unethical and made me feel awful. It's not right that they let therapists like that work on their site without any way for clients to warn others.

The company allows you to make appointments even when the provider is not available, and this has happened twice. The provider mentioned that she checks messages when she has a chance. I do not recommend Andrecia Spaulding. I sent an email to the support team on 11/14/2023 but have not received a response back.

This place is great! Ms. Crossley will listen to me babble for an hour and it's only $20! I couldn't pay anyone else in the world to do that for $20. I'd have to pay thousands for anyone else, plus they'd probably tell me to quite after the first ten minutes.

Working with Headway has been a real pleasure. Therapy can be hard to find, and I think Headway has made it easier for many clients who struggle with the costs. I've been working with them for over two years, and it's been a positive experience all the way!

Collaborating with Headway has significantly benefited my practice. The platform is straightforward and user-friendly. However, I find room for improvement in their offerings, particularly in enhancing the directory/referral system.

I've been real happy with how fast they get back to me, how fast they pay me, and how easy it is to use their system! Only thing is, I reckon they take too much of my money per job, wish they'd take less.

They offerreally good prices for therapists. They're good at talking to us and making sure we're happy with their service. They treat us fairly. I suggest therapists check them out for handling billing.

Disappointing experience. Lack of online support, slow response times. Urgent need for 24/7 assistance. Certification process excessively delayed, leaving clients without service for weeks.

Being a small private practice owner, not having to stress about handling claims myself is a wonderful relief. Headway makes billing hassle-free, and the platform is really easy to use.

The program's insightful guidance on leveraging different platforms to establish and grow a practice was exceptionally informative, offering valuable insights into the process.

Headway is my favorite plattform. It’s practical and has good rates. The only down side is how long it takes to verify insurance.

JJ and the Hedway team have been great in helping me learn the ropes of Hedway and start to build my caseload more!

Headway has been good to work with. It's made billing an easy prosses and I have seen an increase in income.

The simplicity of the service makes it a good choice. I no longer have to pay bills to make sure I get paid.

Headway really impressed me with how well they handled setting up new clients, billing, and their rates.
