Job Description

Headway is a pioneering healthcare technology company dedicated to transforming the way mental health providers connect with clients through insurance acceptance. As a tech-enabled platform, Headway streamlines the process by which licensed mental health professionals, such as Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), can start or expand their private practices by accepting insurance. Their mission is to make mental health care more accessible and affordable to everyone, especially those who might otherwise struggle with out-of-pocket expenses. Headway has already empowered over 50,000 providers to reach more clients and grow their businesses efficiently.

The company emphasizes ease, compliance, and earned stability for mental health providers. Headway enables LCSWs to get credentialed with insurance providers across multiple states quickly and without cost, ensuring faster access to insured clients. Their platform includes built-in compliance tools with audit support, helping clinicians maintain regulatory standards from day one. Providers gain access to an expansive insurance network that includes popular plans such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid. This diversity of plans presents an opportunity for clinicians to increase their earnings by securing higher reimbursement rates through Headway's dependable and predictable bi-weekly payment system.

In addition, Headway offers a suite of integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) features—such as real-time scheduling, secure client messaging, end-to-end documentation templates, and clinical assessments—all designed to simplify practice management. For providers focused on continuous professional development, Headway provides free continuing education courses through Headway Academy to help clinicians maintain licensure and enhance their clinical skills. Headway’s approach caters specifically to licensed clinical social workers who are ready to launch or grow their private practice by leveraging insurance acceptance without the administrative burdens typical of traditional billing practices.

This role is perfect for licensed LCSWs with a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) number and malpractice insurance who aim to provide high-quality mental health care to a broader population. Employment is flexible, allowing clinicians to set their own schedules and manage their practices within the platform, fostering both autonomy and professional growth. The position offers competitive compensation, paying up to $115 per hour, reflecting Headway's commitment to maximizing provider income. Engaging with Headway not only benefits the providers but positively impacts clients by enhancing their access to affordable, insurance-covered mental health services.

Licensed Clinical Social Workers who join Headway gain the advantage of a stress-free credentialing process, compliance assurance, expansive insurance connections, and practice management tools—all designed to support a thriving practice that focuses on tangible client outcomes. Headway is an ideal partner for mental health professionals looking to balance quality care delivery with sustainable business growth.
