Want to use insurance but not deal with billing?
Headway is a mental health company that’s free for therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists.
They offer a range of free services from managing the credentialing process for insurance companies, handling all the billing and admin work, and guaranteeing your payments for all confirmed sessions (even if there are clawbacks with insurance). They are essentially the middle man between you and insurance.
The process to onboard was seamless and easy. The provider portal is user friendly and easy to see your patient’s copay, scheduling, insurance status, and how much you’ll get paid from each session.
It’s free with no commitments, so I thought others would find it useful!
I realized it sounded too good to be true, so if you’re curious to hear more about how they make everything available for free, I’d recommend reading their founding story shared in TechCrunch and Forbes:

The HIPAA platform I use for all Telehealth needs
Although this platform is the most popular with wellness-based practitioners, my favorite part about Practice Better is that it is ideal for therapists who take on the integrative approach. The platform is super easy to use, has an app for clients, built in billing, documentation, and journal clients can share. Beginning at a free or low cost, it’s great for starting and growing your practice. Visit their website to explore all of their features!

Open Path Collective
I designate Open Path clients for sliding scale spots. It’s a great structure to have and a directory whose mission is to support clients that have financial difficulties. No fees to be on their directory. If interested, I have a template and Open Path client agreement I’m happy to share.
My interview with Practice Better
Ever wonder what counseling could look like?
DMs are not monitored
If you’re in a crisis, please dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency clinic for mental health support and resources

If you are in crisis or have suicidal thoughts, it’s important that you seek help immediately. See disclaimer on my IG account or check out the Emergency link below with the 🚨
