  Headway is a New York-based mental health technology company building the
  largest insurance-credentialed network of therapists, psychiatrists, and
  prescribers in the United States. Founded in 2019 by Andrew Adams, Jake
  Sussman, Dan Ross, and Kevin Chan, Headway operates a two-sided platform
  that helps independent mental health providers get credentialed with major
  commercial payers, Medicare Advantage, and select Medicaid managed care
  plans, while helping patients find affordable in-network therapy. The
  platform handles insurance credentialing (claimed to be as fast as 30 days
  with top payers), benefit verification, claims submission and adjudication,
  appeals, clawback protection, biweekly guaranteed provider payments,
  scheduling, telehealth, EHR-style clinical notes, and compliance tooling.
  Headway is free to join for providers and earns revenue through commissions
  paid by insurance carriers. Its payer network spans 100+ plans across all
  50 states and DC, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna,
  UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, Evernorth, and Blue Cross Blue
  Shield of Massachusetts, supporting more than 70,000 licensed providers
  delivering care in 57+ languages across 20+ clinical specialties. Headway
  has raised over $325M from Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive, Accel, GV, Spark
  Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation, with a
  valuation around $2.3B. Headway does not publish a public developer API,
  OpenAPI specification, SDK, or partner integration program — its platform
  is offered exclusively as a managed SaaS to providers, group practices,
  and health plans. The headway.co GitHub organization exists but only
  contains forks of third-party open-source libraries (Starlette, Pydantic,
  Flower, etc.) used internally by Headway's engineering teams. Note that
  the unrelated headwayapp.co company (a product changelog widget) does
  publish a public REST API and should not be confused with this provider.
