First Time User – Center Based
No Co-Pay promotion
Bright Horizons will waive an employee’s center based co-pay if
they choose center based care the first time they use the BackUp Care Advantage Program.
The promotion is done at the employee level (not the
dependent level) so if an employee’s first reservation request
of the program year is for well child care, and they choose
center based care, they will have their co-pay waived.
