Employee Assistance Program

Employees, their dependents, and household members are eligible for free and confidential behavioral health resources provided through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) benefit. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

• Children attending college can use the EAP if there is a Magellan network provider in the geographic area or they can see one when they come home on weekends or breaks.
• Adult children who have returned home to live with the employee for whatever reason have access to EAP benefits.
• Elderly parents who have come to live with the employee are also eligible for EAP benefits, as they would be considered household members.
• Employees on disability status have access to their EAP benefits.
• If you require long term treatment after your free Magellan Behavioral Health sessions end, you can utilize the behavioral health benefits available through your UHC medical plan.
