FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

If your question isn’t answered below, view our full list of FAQs here.


WHO IS BRIGHTSIDE FOR?

Brightside is available to people 18 years and older in the states where
Brightside operates who believe they may be experiencing depression and may
benefit from treatment.

Remote care is not a good fit for people with certain conditions or situations.
These include (but are not limited to):

 * Previous suicide attempt or active suicide planning
 * Ongoing, high risk self-harm behavior
 * Recent involuntary hospitalization for psychiatric reasons
 * Schizophrenia or any symptoms of psychosis
 * Certain severities of Bipolar Disorder and symptoms of mania
 * Substance abuse problems
 * Borderline Personality Disorder
 * Eating disorder with high-risk symptoms
 * Kidney or liver disease, seizures, or long QT (for Medication plan only)

Our providers do not treat, and do not prescribe for adhd.

If any of these describe you, it’s best for you to be seen by a provider in
person so you can get the care that’s right for you.


HOW DOES BRIGHTSIDE WORK?

Brightside makes it easy to get top quality depression care from the privacy of
home.

Here’s how Medication works:

 1. Take the assessment: Answer questions about yourself to provide the
    information your provider will need to thoroughly evaluate your situation.
 2. Connect with a psychiatric provider: Get matched with an expert psychiatric
    provider for a comprehensive video consultation. Share how you’re feeling,
    then decide on the best next steps — together. These conversations normally
    last about 15 minutes to review your situation, discuss your care plan, and
    answer any questions you may have. 
 3. Follow your care plan: If the provider chooses to prescribe, your medication
    will be sent to your local pharmacy. Your plan also includes digital
    therapy, and self-care tools you can use at your own pace.
 4. Make progress: We’ll ask you to tell us about your symptoms and side effects
    weekly, allowing the provider to monitor your progress and make any
    necessary changes to your care plan, so you can get the best results.

Here’s how Therapy works:

 1. Take the assessment: Tell us what you’re experiencing, and we’ll help you
    understand what it means.
 2. Connect with a Therapist: Connect with an expert, licensed therapist by
    messaging and with access to one 30-minute video appointment included with
    your subscription each week (your first appointment with your therapist will
    be 45-minutes long). You will continue to have Unlimited messaging support
    and guidance to help you build skills and feel better.
    
 3. Complete sessions: Complete personalized, self-paced audio lessons and
    practice exercises, building the evidence-based skills and habits you need
    to overcome your depression and anxiety.
 4. Make Progress: Report back on what’s working well for you and where you want
    to go deeper with the option to purchase additional video sessions if you
    choose. Your therapist will help guide you through your personalized program
    so you see the best results.


WHO ARE THE PROVIDERS YOU HIRE?

Brightside’s provider network includes psychiatrists, physicians, psychiatric
nurse practitioners, and therapists who are graduates of prominent US medical
schools, have several years of experience, and have current licenses to practice
in your state. They follow the same high clinical standards as in person care,
ranging from psychiatrists, providers, and licensed therapists.

Brightside’s clinical advisory board consists of industry experts from top
institutions like Stanford, UCSF, and Yale and oversees our clinical policies
and operations.


DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?

Brightside currently accepts select insurance plans in various states for
payment of your provider’s or therapist’s services. Please see below for a
current listing of plans. Brightside may not be included in all plans that each
health insurance company offers. Please contact your health insurance plan to
verify that your care at Brightside will be covered.

We currently accept the following insurance plans:

 * Cigna (all states, except MN)
 * Aetna (nationwide)
 * Allegience (nationwide)
 * Anthem (CA only)
 * United Health (select states)

If you are a new member signing up for services you can enter your insurance
information during the sign-up process. We’ll let you know your eligibility, as
well as you estimated co-pays and out-of-pocket costs (if any) before signing-up
or scheduling.

We also accept HSA/FSA payment if you have one of those accounts. If you have
questions about using your medical or prescription insurance benefits, please
contact us by emailing support@brightside.com.


IS MY INFORMATION KEPT PRIVATE?

Depression is a sensitive topic – we follow industry best practices to keep your
information private. We encrypt all data using 256 bit SSL security and are
HIPAA compliant. Only your prescribing provider will have access to your
information.

*If we ever have reason to believe you intend to hurt yourself or others, we may
need to share information in line with established safety protocols.


WHY DO YOU NEED TO MONITOR MY SYMPTOMS?

Anxiety and depression are complicated. In order to make sure that you are on
the right treatment for you and making progress, we will ask you to do periodic
check-ins with us to tell us how you’re doing.

You can use this information to track your progress over time. We’ll also use
your responses to help your doctor monitor your care and make any necessary
adjustments so you get the best outcome.


HOW DO I GET MY MEDICATION?

If prescribed, your psychiatric provider can send your prescription to a local
pharmacy for your convenience.


HOW CAN I GET HELP IF I’M IN CRISIS?

Your safety is so important to us. If you are in emotional distress or thinking
about hurting yourself at any point, please make use of these resources:

1. Visit: If you are having a medical or mental health emergency, call 911 or go
to your local emergency department.
