In person
If you need to meet with a counselor in person, you may get a referral online or by calling. At no cost to you, EAP can provide 3 face-to-face in-network assessment sessions per issue. If additional treatment would be beneficial, your EAP counselor will refer you to your medical plan or the appropriate community resource. Treatment costs for continued care outside the EAP may be covered under your medical plan.
