The BILLING Department truly is Awful The BILLING Department truly is AWFUL!!! Many times I have CANCELLED or CHANGED an appointment (By thier rules - within 48 hours) and yet they still charge me for missed appointments... The other day I was on hold for 55 minutes when I gave up. Here is another practice that is terrible but I think they have stopped it... LifeStance would schedule an appointment and without your agreement or consent they would schedule 2 consecutive follow ups. So if I did not like the THERAPIST (and that is often) I would get charged for MISSED APPTS.

No transparency, one step away from a scam LifeStance Health was the first mental healthcare provider I have made an appointment with. It was incredibly disappointing, the psychiatrist did not ask questions and the appointments would last no longer than fifteen minutes. However, they would charge me a Level-4 visit, which requires about 30-40 minutes with the patient, plus 20-30 minutes of write up required of the doctor. I can tell you that even if our meetings were 30-40 minutes long, there was no additional work done afterwards because there is no forms or write ups on my profile that I can access from my doctor. Medication was given fairly quickly but it did not feel like they were checking in on whether or not it worked - just billing me monthly for "providing medications" (which was bills on top of paying the pharmacy for medication). If you are even thinking of LifeStance, get ready for bills with no explanations on receipts and no transparency. I would receive bills randomly, months after my appointment so I couldn't even figure out what the reason for it was. They were never upfront how much it would cost either. For someone with anxiety and depression, having random bills appear made everything significantly worse mentally. I genuinely feel like they are taking advantage of people who are at a low point in their life. I had chosen LifeStance because their website looked the most professional out of all the providers in my area, but it was all a facade to cover up their sketchy practices.

BILLING DEPT SUCKS!! BILLING DEPT SUCKS!!! My insurance tells me I owe one amount and then Lifestance sends me a bill for a huge amount that is incorrect. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. You CAN'T EVER get someone on the phone and the VERY RARE times you can, you are always given an Excuse their phone system is being fixed, they have new management, etc.... It's always Something! It's just all Truly Unprofessional and a Headache to deal with! I Like Meah McCray alot but I can't afford being over billed and then getting letters that my account is going to collections! This has been going on for a few YEARS now and I am DONE. YES, I SAID YEARS! The only people that can possible be happy are the ones with Medicare, Medicaid or Commercial insurance with No Copay. If you have a Copay stay FAR AWAY from this place!

A positive experience I’ve had no issues with Lifestance Health. Usually I’ve been able to easily change appointments at the Celebration, FL office and they have always changed it to virtual on the same day if needed or allowed me to reschedule when I’ve asked in the appropriate amount of time. I’ve enjoyed my experiences with my clinical social worker and psychiatric nurse practitioner and do see progress over time. I’ve had diagnoses that were accurate and medications that have changed my life positively. I may not be perfect, but I am able to work through life’s challenges a lot easier having their help and trying to use their guidance to get me through it.
