Q: What is the no-show policy?

Effective May 1, 2023 a minimum of two (2) business day notice is required for cancelled and missed appointments. If this notice is not received or if you fail to show for the appointment within the first 15 minutes of the scheduled appointment, you are personally responsible for payment for the full amount for the time reserved for the appointment. LifeStance charges your credit card on file for the full reserved appointment time. Note that health insurance does not pay for missed appointments. If unforeseen situations arise, such as illness, bereavement, and accidents, etc., please provide documentation to TN-Reception@LifeStance.com that will support your missed visit to avoid being invoiced for the full amount. For more information, read the Patient Services Agreement , call 865-588-3173 , or email TN-Reception@LifeStance.com .

Q: What is the session cancellation policy?

Regular attendance at scheduled appointments is a key component of successful counseling. Effective May 1, 2023 if you cannot attend an appointment, you must cancel 48 hours / two (2) business days in advance to avoid being charged a cancellation fee. Please note that Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays are not considered business days and notice of cancellation provided on those days will be deemed received on the next business day. If we do not receive notice of cancellation sufficiently in advance of your appointment, you may be responsible for the cancellation fee. Our cancellation fees vary by provider and service. This policy is applied in all circumstances unless prohibited by law or our agreement with your insurer. For more information, read the Patient Services Agreement , call 865-588-3173 , or email TN-Reception@LifeStance.com .
