The company\u2019s proprietary tech infrastructure supports mental health providers with administrative functions such as credentialing, scheduling, billing, and revenue cycle management, enabling them to focus their time on care delivery. Headway offers Empire\u2019s commercial members the ability to immediately schedule an appointment in as soon as 48 hours, have price transparency upfront, and search for and select a provider that meets their clinical needs and preferences, such as race and ethnicity, language, LGBTQIA+, geography, in-person vs. virtual, and more. Since launching the Empire partnership in June 2022, Headway has already supported more than 4,000 behavioral health providers to actively practice in-network, with this number growing every week.
