Shorten therapy gaps after insurance plan changes

Coverage changes can interrupt care even when patients want to continue it.

Earlier intervention may preserve continuity, while incorrect assumptions about coverage can create new harm.

I can’t afford to start over with someone new just because my insurance changed.

What pulls against what

  • proactive continuity vs. coverage certainty
  • patient urgency vs. compliance review
  • provider capacity commitments vs. flexible matching
  • scalable support vs. case-by-case safety

What is at stake

Plan changes are producing long therapy gaps for patients who are already in care. A flawed intervention can be hard to unwind once enrollment communications begin

Why Headway

At Headway, this may affect whether insured patients can carry an established therapy routine through a plan transition.
