Does the EAP cost anything?
A. There is never any charge to participants for EAP services. Assessment visits, crisis intervention, and short-term counseling are provided free of charge. Fees for any additional help which may be recommended are usually based on what you can afford and in some cases, may be covered by insurance or other benefits.
EAP services are paid by your organization. The university pays an annual contracted fee for this service regardless of utilization. EAP services cover visits with an EAP counselor for the initial problem assessment and short-term counseling. If you and your counselor decide medical assistance or additional counseling is needed, your counselor will refer you to another agency. If referred, you will be responsible for any costs not covered by insurance. No one lives a life without problems. When a personal problem disrupts your work or relationships, we encourage you to use the Employee Assistance Program.
