Brightside Health

aid: brightside-health
name: Brightside Health
description: Brightside Health is a U.S. national telehealth provider of evidence-based psychiatry (medication management)
  and therapy for people aged 13 and older, founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco. It treats the full acuity
  spectrum — depression, anxiety, bipolar and mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, substance and alcohol use disorder,
  and behavioral addictions — using measurement-based care (PHQ-9/GAD-7 tracking) and precision prescribing, and runs virtual
  Intensive Outpatient Programs plus an evidence-based Suicide Prevention Program (Crisis Care) for elevated suicide risk.
  Care is delivered in all 50 states, in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ambetter,
  Medicare and Medicaid, alongside self-pay. The platform is HIPAA compliant and has earned HITRUST Certified status for information
  security. Brightside sells to health plans, health systems and medical groups with EHR integration, ADT notifications and
  a patient referral portal, but publishes no public developer program, API reference or machine-readable specification —
  partner integration is arranged through its partnerships team.

  detail: Brightside Health markets a real programmatic surface to health systems — "Integration with your EHR for seamless
    discharge planning", "ADT notifications" and a Patient Referral Portal — but the only route to it is a "Contact our Partnership
    Team / Get in touch" form; the 2026-08-15 sweep confirmed api.brightside.com IS a live versioned Rails REST API whose
    /v1/ and /api/v1/ paths reach the origin (JSON envelope {"errors":["Record not found"]}) while every other path is held
    behind a Cloudflare bot challenge, and no route index, schema, docs or specification endpoint exists on it — the only
    public machine-readable surface on any Brightside host is the marketing site's WordPress REST index at /wp-json/, which
    is CMS boilerplate, not a product API.
