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.
