Hindsight on Hindsight Questions

Comments and questions have been raised regarding Hindsight Biblical Counseling that will be offered at the church on Tuesdays, beginning February 5. Let me try to answer and clarify them.

1. My apologies for not being clear that this is a fee based service. The counselor will charge $110 per session. A session typically runs over 60 minutes up to 90 minutes.

2. The only persons who can answer questions about insurance coverage is your insurance provider. Neither the church, nor anyone else can answer that question, not even the counselor. We do know that counselees who have used Hindsight services in other churches have received insurance coverage.

3. Will financial assistance be available for counseling? The policy that is in place now remains for Hindsight counseling as well. Any Tenth member may approach his or her deacon or deaconess to request assistance. Pastors and elders who refer members to counselors may request financial assistance on members' behalf. As they do now, the deacons and deaconesses will treat each request confidentially.

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments that would be good for me to post. This is a new venture and I want to give as much clarity as possible.

Again, though. Let me remind everyone that Hindsight Counseling is not a replacement of the pastoral care that pastors and elders provide; nor will we stop referring members to counselors who have helped us. This is an additional service to offer.
