Headway

Headway is building the modern infrastructure for mental healthcare by connecting therapists with insurance networks, handling credentialing, billing, and claims so that providers can focus on patient care while making therapy more affordable and accessible. The company's engineering challenges involve automating the notoriously complex insurance credentialing process, building billing systems that navigate thousands of payer-specific rules, and creating tools that help therapists manage their practices efficiently. Engineers at Headway work on workflow automation, claims processing pipelines, provider-facing practice management tools, and patient matching systems that reduce the friction of finding in-network mental health care. The company hires engineers motivated by fixing a broken system, offering the chance to work on problems where better software directly translates to more people getting the mental health treatment they need.
