It's very upsetting when Talkspace will take your insurance and then out of nowhere with NO notice or heads up that they no longer accept it. I went to make an appointment with my therapist, because she has been absolutely the BEST! And Talkspace tells me that my coverage is expiring.... which is odd because I updated it in April and it is now July. I went into my plan section of the website and it shows that my provider is awaiting for me. So I called my ***************** and they had no clue what was going on. They received all the claims for my appointments, everything was okay on their end, everything was and is still covered! So I thought maybe this is a technical issue. I went through and submitted a request in the talkspace website after I did ALL troublshooting just to get an email to try again...... So irritating. I gave up for a few days because it was stressing me out, yet I couldn't talk with my therapist to calm down. I then gave it a week and tried again. This time I called Talkspace. I told the lovely representative what was going on. We walked through everything and she then advises me that my insurance was no longer eligible!!!!! What?!?!?! What in the space rock c*** is that??? It's listed in the insurance provider drop down. My insurance company confirmed 4 times that I am covered!!! Yet Talkspace says it's not. Why???? Want to know what they suggest instead? For me to pay out of pocket then submit superbills to my insurance company for a possible reimbursement. So I have to drop $300-$600 to be able to set up a monthly appointment with my therapist and then try and get my insurance to reimburse me after that billing cycle. I DO NOT have that kind of money. Why do you think I was using insurance?!?!?! I didn't have a copay it was affordable for me this way! So I called my insurance provider to see what they thought of it. Come to find out this is just Talkspaces way to get more money! What a bunch of baloney! Talkspace you need to get it together!Review from Debbie A

I literally sent my whole life story in hopes for some help and spend 100 on 4 sessions, 3 with my first therapist who literally replied with and how does that make you feel really?? Then I wouldnt get responses for a whole day and the response to my article if you will, of problems I had or am currently having, the response was, well let me know how that goes for you Honestly I am saddened that I reported my innermost deep dark sadness/secrets of my heart, I feel, to someone who dont give a damn! Wasted 100 dollars that Ill never get back and got zero help.

HORRIBLE! I had an appointment for an evaluation on May 28th. I need the paperwork as this is a time sensitive issue. I paid through my insurance and I want my report. They say they have up to 30 days to get you a medical report. That's unacceptable to have to wait that long for YOUR RECORD THAT YOU PAID FOR. I'm not requesting an entire file. Or an 18 year long file! It's one evaluation. They need to facilitate requests, and the manner in which they are handled better. Not happy. Cancelling membership.And, hey talkspace, you can save the generic response! Get me my report!Talkspace Response

If I could give them zero stars I would! They claim their billing process is clear. All they do is show you a screen in your account with how much you OWE> They do NOT tell you dates of the therapy sessions or how many are included. They also fail to show when the next therapy session periods BEGIN!They claim to clearly show that they have a subscription service. But there is NO wording or small print or ANYTHING that shows you are signing up for a subscription. After not answering me because their BOT was "solving" all my complaint reports; they finally contacted me AFTER I contacted the Better Business Bureau. They claimed I owed them another $276 and out of their kindness were going to waiver it. I didnt know what I was being billed for except for maybe 4 sessions? and I did not have a DEFINIATIVE date for these sessions. All they kept telling me was that my payment was due, my payment is due. No way to contact a real person to get more information. Then they send me a long email explaining that they have everything clearly worded on the website>>> which they DONT! To top it off, they emailed me on memorial day 2024 with messages about how important mental health is!!! Anyone going through anxiety or depression does NOT NEED this kind of c*** to go through! I was so stressed out I couldn't even think straight. Maybe this is their TACTIC to get money from people with mental health issues. Because when someone is stressed out they tend to try to solve problems quickly so they can calm their mind. If talkspace reads this: I NEVER gave you permission to continue emailing me with your SPAM degrading emails!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!Talkspace Response

If I could give TalkSpace 0 stars or less, I would. Our daughter used the service and signed up for an account. Upon signing up for an account they take your credit card number. Our insurance also offers TalkSpace services as well. Every session used TalkSpace billed our insurance company and then the credit card the very next day - essentially double billing. TalkSpace makes it impossible to contact them via phone or get customer service for such issues easily and getting a refund is almost impossible. They weave a person through a maze of menus or try and collect a bunch of information to create an account. The 'easy' automation is the worst human experience ever - just let me talk directly to a person and get billing issues resolved - the fancy shmancy 'interface' is horrible.Usually Credit Card companies provide a layer of protection for such invalid charges, but in the instance of TalkSpace, Credit Card companies seem hesitant to get involved. So, if this happens to others, TalkSpace is making double the money for services rendered. One of the most horrible business experiences ever. There should be an easy option to get such issues resolved - alas, a phone number to talk directly to a billing support person would be too easy.Talkspace Response

Having Talkspace give out a refund where I followed their refund policy is impossible. Talkspace has gone down every year. Their customer service is just articles and they don't have a phone number. I will never recommend talkspace to anyone. After reading all the reviews about talkspace. It looks like a scam.Talkspace Response

Would give zero stars if I could This is the clunkiest most terrible website/ system Ive ever tried to work with. After wasting several hours of my time today trying to sign up for service, I was FINALLY able to. Then, I wanted specifically a member of the ***** community to work with in therapy. They would not give me that. They said they had it available but obviously they dont. I wasyed Half my day trying to complete this task to help better myself and my life and this website only ended up making matters worse!Talkspace Response

Talkspace has been an absolute NIGHTMARE. My therapist was wonderful. Their "billing" department, and supervisors on the other hand? Awful. I have been double charged for every session (If your Insurance doesn't automatically pay at time of service they charge your card on file). I would be OK with this, if their reimbursements were timely. They are NOT and they make you, the client, do all the leg work. That's right, the company is too cheap to hire enough employees, so instead of employees who can look at your account and see that ********************** has been paid by your Insurance, YOU the client, are responsible for providing proof of payment to Talkspace. Even after providing them with that proof, I have had to fight tooth and nail to get MY money back. Needless to say I canceled and won't be back.Talkspace Response

Talkspace ****************** is incredibly unprofessional and did not provide my correct medical records. They were out of date and incomplete and i have no longer been receiving any communication back from them despite multiple attempts to reach back out to them. I have reported them to the **************** ************************** State Auditor, and *************** Commissioner as this business should not be allowed to operate/take insurance dollars. Incredibly unprofessional and has caused me undue stress/burden when you need them the most.Talkspace Response

This company has predatory billing practices. In the sign up process, it says that you will be able to apply your insurance after you have signed up, but this is not the case and it is actually impossible to do this, as following the links it provides just leads you back to signing up (and paying) again. There is no customer support number, but there is a customer support form. I submitted the complaint, and received an automated email with the same recursive link, and the customer support ticket was then marked as completed. Additionally, Talkspace charged an undisclosed 10 dollar to my credit card without any explanation.This company is a scam, and should be ashamed of preying on people trying to improve their mental health.Talkspace Response
