Affordable family mental health care

We know that quality mental health care can be expensive and hard to find — especially for kids and teens. Which is why we partner with health plans in an effort to increase access and lower costs.

Brightline is in network for many insurance carriers. Some families may not pay anything out of pocket.

Several insurance plans in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington, and Massachusetts offer Brightline as an in-network benefit. Copays and deductibles for our services vary based on your coverage. Please call Brightline Support at (888) 224-7332 to confirm coverage and estimate your out-of-pocket cost.

Out-of-network

If Brightline is an out-of-network benefit, we can provide you with a monthly superbill to submit for reimbursement from your health plan. All Brightline services are HSA/FSA Eligible.
