Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance.
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice.
Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 45,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.
We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
About The Role
At Headway, we’re building a new mental healthcare system from the ground up—one that’s accessible, effective, and built to scale. As part of that mission, our Clinical Operations team ensures that the services we support are backed by accurate, compliant, and clinically sound documentation and coding. We're looking for a Medical Coding Specialist to help bring this vision to life.
This person possesses licensure as a Certified Professional Coder (CPC). The CPC will be responsible for auditing medical records to assess compliance with behavioral health coding and documentation standards (ICD-10-CM and CPT). While this is not a production coding role, the ideal candidate will bring strong analytical and auditing skills, along with a solid understanding of mental health diagnoses, documentation requirements, and industry coding guidelines. This position works closely with providers to deliver audit feedback and supports continuous documentation quality improvement in partnership with internal teams.

We are committed to offering a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package, including robust health and wellness benefits, retirement savings, and meaningful ownership opportunities through equity. Compensation decisions are made holistically, ensuring fairness and alignment with market benchmarks while recognizing individual contributions and potential.
We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
