When companies like Headway, Spring Health, or Octave credential you, you are not receiving your own independent insurance contract.

You are being added under their group agreement with payers.

That means:
• Claims are billed through their structure
• Reimbursement flows through their system
• The contract and rates belong to the platform
• You do not own the payer agreement

If you leave, you cannot continue billing under their contracts.

To bill independently, you must be credentialed directly with insurance companies under your own entity and hold your own agreements.

This is hurting clinicians more than we realize. If we continue relying solely on platforms, sooner or later independent credentialing could become harder to access.

Please understand what you are signing. This impacts the future of our profession.

Quick consumer reminder…
Check your receipts. 🧾
If you pay with a DEBIT card, businesses are not allowed to charge the same 3–4% fee that applies to credit cards. That rule applies in North Carolina, and it applies nationwide.
It doesn’t matter whether the debit card is tapped, run “as credit,” or entered without a PIN — debit is debit.
This isn’t just about stores and restaurants.
It also applies to:
• Contractors
• Home services
• Auto repair
• Tradespeople
• Any business accepting card payments
Many small businesses were never clearly educated on these distinctions, and many consumers were never told what to look for. That gap in understanding has allowed improper fees to quietly become “normal.”
If you see a “card fee,” “non-cash adjustment,” or “processing fee” on a debit transaction, that’s a good reason to pause and ask questions.
If you’re unsure, your bank or card issuer can help clarify the rules. Business owners can also confirm compliance directly with their payment processor.
Consumers should watch closely. 🔎
Businesses should double-check their setup. ✔️
A lot has slid by for too long — not just in Washington, but everywhere.

💡 If you have questions or spot something that doesn’t look right, the North Carolina Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and your card issuer can help clarify the rules — and business owners can also check directly with their payment processor to be sure they’re set up correctly.
