BetterHelp refunds will start going out in June and July

If you got an email about BetterHelp Refunds, you can expect to get your payment soon.

We began sending electronic payments in mid-June. We plan to mail checks in early July.

If you didn't make a payment selection, you will get a PayPal payment at the email address where you received the notice.

If you need help with your payment, or would prefer a different payment method, please call the administrator at 1-833-637-4774 or send an email to info@BetterHelpRefundProgram.com. 

What is the settlement about?

BetterHelp agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle charges brought by the FTC. 

The FTC says that, among other things, BetterHelp promised to keep users’ information private but revealed data to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo for advertising purposes. This data included email addresses, IP addresses, and personal answers to health questions. BetterHelp offered online counseling through several websites, including:
 
BetterHelp • MyTherapist • Teen Counseling • Faith Counseling • Pride Counseling 
iCounseling • Regain • Terappeuta

What are my payment options?

We are sending payments by PayPal, Zelle, and check.

The deadline to select your payment method was June 10, 2024. If you didn't make a selection, you will get a PayPal payment at the email address where you received the notice.

If you need help with your payment, or would prefer a different payment method, please call the administrator at 1-833-637-4774 or send an email to info@BetterHelpRefundProgram.com.
