Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers two support programs for participants:
- Work/Life Services
- Emotional Counseling Services
These programs are offered through United Behavioral Health (UBH). All services are absolutely confidential. Work/Life Services provides participants with information and referrals for a variety of personal needs at no out-of-pocket cost.
Beginning in 2016, the behavioral health benefit through HealthFlex was changed to mirror the medical benefit for both in-network and out-of-network services. As a result, out-of-network claims were not paid by HealthFlex until the full out-of-network deductible was met for an individual.
