  I opened an account with **********************, who my employer has contracted for physical therapy services as a part of our benefits. I was not impressed with the services and have twice requested to delete my account. There is no one-click opt-out/delete account of any sort. Theres a ****** form that I have filled out twice now with no results. I would like the company to delete all of my information.

  I signed up for hinge a while back. the product never really worked correctly so i reached out and they sent me a new group of sensors. i told them back then that i really didn't want the service but they insisted that they send me new sensors. anyways, they sent me a tablet about a year and a half ago. I reached out in early january about the tablet not working properly and they told me the warranty had expired. they told me that the tablet had a 13 month warranty and that i just missed the expiration on the warranty and that they couldn't help me. i explained to them that i no longer wanted to use the service. anyways, i decided to email them a few days ago since they keep sending me text messages to my phone about using the service. if they aren't going to be professional to me, then i don't want to deal with them. i believe they violated my hippa privacy rights.

  Hinge Health is a digital health benefit provided through employers and health plans. Memberships are fully covered by employers or their health plan partners, with no out-of-pocket costs to membersincluding for services or equipment provided. If a member does not have a personal device, ********************** supplies a tablet and allows for equipment replacement within 13 months of delivery to ensure continued access during the membership period.

  ******* became a Hinge Health member on November 19, 2020, through his employer. As part of the onboarding process, he received a tablet and has since received multiple forms of support from Hinge Health, including replacement equipment and technical assistance.

  On May 12, 2021, Hinge Health shipped replacement sensors and a new tablet due to reported equipment issues.
  
  Approximately a year later, the customer requested another replacement, and our team provided troubleshooting support.
  
  On July 27, 2023, Hinge Health issued an upgraded tablet.
  
  On January 10, 2025, the customer requested another replacement tablet or a refund. Hinge Health informed him that:
  The tablet was outside the 13-month replacement window.
  
  His eligibility for Hinge Health services had ended due to a change or termination in employer-sponsored coverage.
  
  Since all costs were covered by his employer, the customer was never billed for any services or devices, and thus no refund was applicable.
  
  On April 17, 2025, the customer requested that his data be deleted and that he no longer receive communications. On April 21, 2025, the customer requested an accounting of disclosures. In accordance with ***** and privacy obligations, Hinge Health is processing these requests and has placed customer on our do not contact list.

  Please let us know if any further information is needed.
  

  Sincerely,
  Hinge Health

  I am rejecting this response because: the company just emailed me a hour ago saying that they cannot legally delete my data for 7 years without explaining the reason saying they cannot delete my data.

  i find this very suspicious that they just happen to email me and won't say the reason why they cannot delete my data.

  they lied in their messaging saying they would be deleting my data

  Complaint number: ******** I was banned from hinge in June 2024 with no explanation. I still dont know what I did and was never given any documentation about any complaint about what I did. On this app, from what I have researched, someone can just report a person for anything. I didnt do anything wrong and if I did I would like to know what it was. Someone I know who doesnt like me could have just reported me and then I get banned. I believe in due process. Innocent until proven guilty. Well, I was never proven guilty. I would like to be able to use this app because its the best dating app I have ever used. My mental health has gotten a lot worse since this happened. My therapist is concerned. I have severe social anxiety disorder and I am sober. I dont go to bars to meet women, and even if I did, I would be too self conscious to approach any. This is why hinge was ideal for someone like me. I pray that I will be able to use this app again, and if I did something wrong Id like to know what it even was. Thank you for listening. *****

  As I remember, I filled out a questionnaire and answered questions for hinge health. The next thing I know, they send some kit, not ordered by me. I will return the kit immediately. It is brand new and in used. Since then, hinge charged my insurance company exorbitant amounts of money for said kit. I call them predatory. I have reached out to my insurance company as well.

  received an invitation via **** mail to enroll into the program and get a complimentary yoga mat. Once you joined, and waiting for yoga mat, I contacted Hinge Health and now she said only LTC enrollment can get it. The invitation mail disclose nothing, just only join the program. This is lying to people and scam to get you enrolled.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/08/2022

  We'd like to apologize for any confusion that you experienced with our recent communications.  The supplemental equipment (i.e., Yoga Mat) is only provided if you are enrolled in Hinge Hinge programs where a yoga mat would be particularly useful, such as our  chronic program, which focuses on long term care.  You are currently enrolled in our acute program, which focuses on short term care and is supported by a closer relationship with your Hinge Health Physical Therapist; this program is not currently supplied with any additional equipment. As a participant in our acute program you can schedule visits with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who will work with you to create your Care Plan and who you can reach out to whenever you need. At Hinge Health, we truly value the caliber of our Doctors of Physical Therapy and believe that the patient/provider relationship is the most important aspect of this program.
  
  We continue to look forward to serving you with your MSK needs. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  I received a letter from Hinge Health (in conjunction with my employer) on September 14, 2022. The letter stated that if you joined now, you would get a free yoga mat. I used the provided QR code and followed the steps, but was never prompted about getting a yoga mat. I saw that Hinge had an email customer care, so I sent them an email that night, on 9/14/22. The response I got back is as stated:Hi,Thank you for reaching out to us. We'd like to apologize for any confusion that was caused by incorrect information sent to our members. You may have been sent marketing material that did not disclose that supplemental equipment is only provided if you are enrolled into a specific program, Hinge Health's chronic program, which focuses on long term care.You are currently enrolled in our acute program, which focuses on short term care and is not supplied with any additional equipment. The benefit of the acute program is that you have direct access to a Doctor of Physical Therapy who will work with you to create your Care Plan and who you can reach out to whenever you need. At Hinge Health, we truly value the caliber of our Doctors of Physical Therapy and believe that the patient/provider relationship is the most important aspect of our program.We apologize again for the miscommunication and are working hard to create clearer marketing materials that indicate which members will receive a yoga mat. Please let us know if you have any other questions.Best,Hinge Health Support.After that email, I asked since they made an obvious error, to please just make it right and make an exception to still send me a yoga mat. In my messages I was very clear I would have NOT joined if they had not done the promotion. They emailed back and told me no. They are false advertising and getting sign-*** for their program while not honoring their commitments.

  Greetings, I received a mailing, offering free physical therapy and a free health coach at home with no charge to the patient. This was basically a stretching app with no professional diagnosis and little to no interaction with a human. There was no charge to me, but the amount charged to ****************** Blue Shield is obscene. They charged $1,800 and they put the following info into my health insurance claim "Qualified Nonphysician Health Care Professional Online Digital ********************************** For An Established Patient, For Up To 7 Days, Cumulative Time During The 7 Days; 21 Or More Minutes.They never performed a digital evaluation. They treated me for sciatic pain when I had an IT band injury. This was a basic stretching app that should have cost $100 for the year to subscribe to. This company belongs on 60 minutes or 20/20 for fleecing the health insurance companies.

  Hello,

  
  We understand that you have concerns in regard to the billing of our program. Before we offer more information, we want to first apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.

  The Hinge Health programs typically includes the Hinge Health kit, our exercise therapy app, and access to a personal Health Coach and Physical Therapist. Unlike a traditional healthcare provider, our programs are offered as an additional employee benefit. The employers who partner with us agree to cover the full cost of any of their plan members who decide to enroll in our programs at the rate we have negotiated with each plan. In order to do so, they often require us to submit a claim on your behalf to your insurance company, however this cost does not affect your insurance benefits, including deductible, copay, coinsurance, or limits.

  If you have any further questions or would like to discuss further over the phone, please give us a call at *************. We are available Monday to Friday from 6am to 6pm PST.

  Best,

  Hinge Health
