Through ComPsych, UTA’s EAP will continue to offer confidential counseling, work-life solutions, legal support, financial guidance, and more. ComPsych’s services are available in a number of languages, enhancing the ability to share confidential information completely and comfortably.
UTA’s EAP continues to cover all employees and their covered family members. EAP services through ComPsych are free up to eight visits per issue per covered individual. This is an increase over the previously offered four visits per issue. If additional help is required, ComPsych will coordinate with employees’ UTA health benefits.
UTA’s former EAP provider, Alliance Work Partners, will accept no new claims. Services on claims made before Feb. 1 will continue until the four sessions are reached or the issue is resolved.
For more information, please view ComPsych’s introductory letter or UTA’s EAP webpage.
