Sketchy Billing Practices

The billing practices of Brightside are not in compliance with state laws of Minnesota. They went ahead and charged for copays I do not have with my insurance. I have no deductible and I already met my OOP max for the year. They have my insurance information but chose to charge me instead of sending any claims over to my insurance provider. They kept referencing my EOB to get answers but you only get sent an EOB if the provider had sent over the claim! Which they have not.

Supportive

System is easy to navigate and connect with provider. Provider is knowledgeable, my treatment has been effective.

They canceled two of my appointments

They canceled two of my appointments, one the day of, and would not allow me to be reimbursed for the missed sessions (due to their absence). No refund, no session credit, they essentially said too bad so sad. Then it took 12 days for customer service to even reply to me when I ask for an explanation and a cancellation of my membership. Please beware. If they truly cared about mental health, they would have better customer support and policies.

This is an extremely shady company

This is an extremely shady company. After my provider missed my first 2 appointments, I was billed a $165 no show fee and my psychiatry account was canceled without any communication from customer support.

Poor information provided

Poor information provided, different information provided depending on who you speak to. Multiple phone calls to get my 2 minute useless meeting it was 4 minutes but 2 minutes on hold. I would never recommend this service to anyone and plan to leave negative feedback wherever I can. You can keep my $19.90 . Thank you for nothing.

Reasonable Rate, Quality Care

Knowing that I have a provider that I can afford and the ability to be confident that I won't lose access to my medications again for only $95 a month is well worth it. My provider is great, and I'm happy with the price.
