For the Employee
If you were referred to us for services through your EAP, please give us a call to schedule your first appointment. If you would like to schedule with us using your EAP benefit, please contact your EAP directly first to request an authorization and have it faxed to us prior to your scheduling your first appointment. Please make sure this authorization includes how many sessions your EAP will cover and what your authorization number is, along with the date range that it is active.
After your authorization has been provided, feel free to give us a call to utilise your free sessions. If we are not a participating provider for your EAP, please let us know and we will attempt to obtain a temporary contract for your services. Alternative arrangement for payment may also be made, such as billing via your insurance or private pay, or you can request from your eap a referral for another provider who is in their network. Please keep in mind the 48 hour cancellation policy and have all of your forms and authorizations prior to your first appointment.
