Do it yourself
Cancel Brightside yourself
TLDR: Cancel in account settings, or email support@brightside.com, and the plan runs through the period you paid. Cancel at least 24 hours before the first visit and the first purchase is refunded, while later fees are not.
Cancel in account settings
Brightside bills the membership.
- 01Log in.
- 02Use the cancel steps in account settings.
You can also email support@brightside.com. A cash-pay plan is charged the monthly fee when you start, then each month on that same day, until you cancel. The cancel takes effect at the end of the current period. You keep the service until then. You still owe that period’s fee. Cancel at least 24 hours before the first scheduled visit and they refund the first purchase in full. After that, the terms say the purchase is final, except if insurance denies the claim or coverage is inactive and Brightside did not tell you that you might have to pay yourself. Text STOP only ends texts.
Mail a notice
You want it on paper.
- 01Write that you are cancelling, and include the email on the account.
- 02Mail it to Brightside Health, Inc., 2261 Market Street, STE 10222, San Francisco, CA 94114.
The terms list that street as the mailing address for questions or complaints about the site. A paper request still has to be in before the period renews.
How to know it worked
- The membership runs through the period you already paid.
- That period’s fee is not refunded, except the first-visit rule above.
Watch out for
- A missed visit can cost up to $200 if you use insurance. A monthly subscription member may not get an extra missed-visit fee, and instead loses the chance to reschedule and does not get a refund.
- Teen Care: the teen and a parent or guardian both have to attend the first visit. If one is missing, the missed-visit fee can apply.
- Cancel or reschedule a visit in the member portal. Less than 24 hours’ notice can cost up to $200.
- If you pay yourself, the self-pay rate keeps billing monthly until you cancel.
Brightside refunds
- Cancel at least 24 hours before the first visit and the first subscription purchase is refunded in full.
- After that, the fee is not refunded, except the insurance-notice case in the terms.
- If Brightside cancels a transaction before any service is given, they refund what you paid.
