Not a good experience really

Billing specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Got to learn a bit about medical practices and healthcare

Cons

As an employee of LifeStance Health working as a billing specialist, I would not recommend this company to anyone. My experience working for this company was extremely negative and I would advise others to avoid working here if possible. The management at LifeStance Health is completely unorganized and unprofessional. They frequently changed policies without informing employees, causing confusion and frustration. Additionally, the workload was unmanageable and I was constantly overworked and underpaid. Furthermore, the company's billing practices were unethical. I was asked to bill insurance companies for services that were not provided or were not medically necessary. This made me feel as though I was participating in fraudulent activities, which is completely unacceptable. Overall, my experience working for LifeStance Health as a billing specialist was extremely negative. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for an ethical and professional workplace.

Pros

You’ll never run out of referrals

Cons

Expectations for caseload are insane. This company is not flexible and does not stop putting new people on my caseload. Stay away. I am at 35 clients, several of whom are extremely acute. I am given no choice.
