Brightside Health
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.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Brightside Health the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Brightside Health scores 21.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
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.
An API exists — we simply could not reach the contract without credentials or a sales conversation. This one is Brightside Health's to change: publishing the reference and a machine-readable spec at a public URL, while keeping key issuance behind whatever gate they like, would let an integrator evaluate the API before committing to a call.

Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Brightside Health
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Brightside Health. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Brightside Health, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
