FAQs

  1. Do I need malpractice insurance to join Headway?
    Yes. Headway requires providers to have active malpractice coverage before beginning credentialing. 
  2. What coverage limits should I select?
    $1,000,000 per claim / $3,000,000 aggregate is the minimum policy requirement. If you’re in Florida, select at least $100,000 / $300,000. 
  3. Can I list my LLC or business as the insured?
    Yes, but please ensure that your individual name is ALSO listed on the policy (either under Names Insured on a separate line item or attached as an Employee List). We require that you list your personal name as the insured when purchasing individual coverage. 
  4. When should my policy start?
    Set your effective date as today’s date (NOT a future date) to avoid delays with Headway credentialing. 
  5. Where do I upload my Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
    After purchasing your policy, download your COI as a PDF and upload it to CAQH and reach out to your practice consultant for the Headway intake form.
  6. If I’m a group practice owner and my business is insured, will all of my staff clinicians be insured compliantly through Headway?
    Each provider will need to have their own name listed on the policy. If your policy just lists the business name, please request to add their individual name listed under the Names Insured section of the policy, or attached as an employee list.
  7. How long does it take to apply?
    The process takes 5 minutes or less — instant quotes online and same-day coverage available without having to talk to a rep. 
  8. Is telehealth covered?
    Yes. All CM&F policies include telemedicine coverage and HIPAA defense protection. 
  9. What if I have a supervising physician (MD or DO)?
    Headway has additional partners that you may inquire about with their team that provide supervising physicians and cover their liability insurance. If you have your own physician outside of Headway’s partners, you are responsible for adding them to your coverage. Please request coverage form from CM&F. 
  10. I’m a Psychiatrist, can I get coverage with CM&F?
    CM&F has partnerships that cover psychiatrists. Please reach out to a member of our team here for assistance.
  11. I’m a multi-state compact provider — how does adding additional states affect my coverage and rate?
    Your policy is tied to your primary state of licensure, which you’ll select within your application. If your license or PA compact allows you to practice across state lines, your CM&F coverage follows you — no need to add multiple states. We only allow one state per policy, and your rate is based on that primary state.
