I was charged for missing an appointment that I didn’t miss. I was in the video call for myself for 20 minutes. Then I got charged for missing it. Can I give negative stars?

Brightside health helped greatly when I needed it and couldn’t afford traditional brick and mortar medical practices. I had to cancel the service due to financial strain but will be rejoining next month when I can afford the services again.

Bright side is great. The drs are great I’ve had a wonderful experience with this site although I’ve only been with them a month. I’ve been looking for strictly online care for a while that accepted my insurance and I’m so thankful I came across Brightside.

I was wrongly charged

I was wrongly charged. They charged me 6 times in a row when it should be only one time. I requested the refund and only got 2, still waiting for other 3. There's no chat live only email and takes time for them answer

I canceled my plan months ago and just got charged a copay for an appointment I apparently had. I never had this appointment, I hadn’t even logged in for several months because I thought I canceled the plan. So, why am I being charged for appointments I DID NOT EVEN ATTEND!!!

My therapist, Marla

My therapist, Marla is wonderful. Insightful, empathetic, great suggestions for moving forward and cheering me on with every bit of progress! Always on time, and makes my next appointment when we’re done.

I look forward to seeing her each week.
