What forms do clients sign to work with me through Headway?
To see a provider through Headway, a client must agree to the following forms:
- Acknowledgment of Receipt of Notice of Privacy Practices
- Assignment of Benefits / Financial Responsibility
Your client will be able to read and agree to the forms while logged into their Headway account at this link. This is also where they'll manage insurance and billing details.
My client is missing information—how should I follow up?
We’ll reach out to any clients missing information, but find clients are more inclined to take care of this when their provider asks directly. We've included a sample email template below that you can copy, paste, and customize.
Email Template
Hi [client name],
I hope all is well with you! I wanted to reach out to follow up on the change in billing services with my practice.
As you know, I’ve switched over to a new billing system, Headway, to manage my billing and admin work. Headway manages everything related to payments and insurance.
They’ve sent you an email directly, prompting you to create an account and provide your insurance and payment information for your copay or deductible. Using Headway will not change your current copay or deductible—it just makes the billing process easier!
To verify your information and finish getting set up with them, please create and complete your account.
If you have any questions, you can respond to this email or reach Headway's team via their contact form.
Best,
[provider name]
