Practice operations
Credentialing, payer enrollment, intake, authorizations, billing workflows, collections follow-up, and the operating details that keep care moving.
The operating backbone behind your ABA practice
Owning an ABA practice shouldn’t mean building the entire back office by yourself. Headstart helps BCBA owners run the business side of their ABA practices with the support of expert operators, managed workflows, and clear technology that gives you clear visibility across your organization.
People, workflows, and visibility behind your practice
That is the Headstart operating backbone. You stay in the owner seat. Headstart helps organize and keep your back office moving so you can focus on what matters most - clinical care.
Your clinical vision. Your ownership decisions.
“I know exactly where my authorizations are going, how it’s going with my RBT team. If I have any questions that maybe a family is asking me about insurance that I’m not exactly sure, I can get an answer. I’ve never not gotten a question answered. I’m not overwhelmed. I’m not feeling alone. It’s a real true team effort while still having that full autonomy over my company.”

Headstart has been more than helpful in helping to collaborate and provide all the resources that I need to make sure that my business can be a success.”
