How rates are determined

At Headway, we have a team dedicated to building relationships with health plans. This includes negotiating contracts for strategic partnerships so that we can secure enhanced rates for our providers.

We work with health plans to form partnerships that benefit both Headway and the health plan by showcasing the value of our provider network. We have a team dedicated to building relationships with health plans and understanding what’s most important to each, such that we can demonstrate how our provider network reflects those values. This can include things like speed to care, provider availability, or network size.

Once we arrive at a contract, we examine the rates and compare them to the rest of the market. We prioritize paying you competitively.

From there, we determine how much we’re able to keep on each session, if anything. This amount varies across health plans and billing codes — we don’t keep the same amount across the board. This small portion of payment that we keep on eligible sessions allows us to keep our platform free of membership fees for patients and providers, while sustaining our business.
