We understand that changes in insurance coverage and scheduling challenges can be frustrating, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Brightside offers a cash plan designed to provide consistent access to care at a flat monthly rate, which includes up to four sessions within each 30-day period. Clients are able to reschedule appointments as needed during that time. We recognize that circumstances such as travel, illness, or other commitments may impact a client’s ability to use all scheduled sessions. While the plan is not structured as a per-session billing model, we value this feedback and understand how greater flexibility may better meet individual needs.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this situation caused. Brightside’s cancellation policy and applicable fees are outlined in our member materials and appointment communications. Members are able to cancel appointments through the appointment reminder notifications, in our portal or by contacting our support team for assistance. Additionally, closing an account does not automatically cancel previously scheduled appointments, so those must be canceled separately. Because we cannot review account-specific details in a public forum, we encourage you to connect with our support team so we can review your concerns and provide further assistance.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and that your transition in care felt disruptive. Continuity of care is incredibly important, especially during vulnerable periods, and we understand how difficult provider changes can be. While provider availability can sometimes change due to circumstances outside of a patient’s control, our goal is always to ensure members are supported with timely transition planning and alternative care options. We regret that this did not feel supportive in your case. We’re genuinely glad to hear that you’re feeling better and wish you continued stability and well-being. If you’re open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to learn more about your experience so we can review what happened and improve. Please feel free to contact our quality department at [email protected] with your name and the best way to reach you.

We’re sorry to hear that billing felt unclear or frustrating. Transparency in healthcare costs is extremely important to us. To clarify, Brightside does not bill insurance members in advance for services. For members using insurance, we bill copays at the time of the appointment, and claims are then submitted to the insurance plan based on individual benefits. Advance billing applies only to self-pay subscription services. If your experience felt inconsistent with this, we want to understand what happened. We take billing concerns seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to review your account directly. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with your name and the best way to contact you so we can look into this further. We value your feedback and are committed to continuously improving the member experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear this experience felt frustrating. The charge you’re referencing sounds like it was applied to your insurance deductible. A deductible is different from a copay. While your copay may be $0, many insurance plans still require members to pay toward their deductible before insurance begins covering services. Once a claim is processed, the insurance company determines the final patient responsibility based on your specific plan benefits. Brightside does not charge hidden fees. We verify benefits using information provided by your insurer, but the amount applied to deductible is ultimately determined by your insurance carrier. If you’re open to it, our Member Services team would be happy to review your explanation of benefits with you to confirm everything was processed correctly and provide clarity at [email protected].
