Life throws all sorts of obstacles our way. And those issues, whether you realize it or not, can follow you to work.

That’s why your employer has partnered with First Sun EAP. We offer caring support, tools and resources to help you tackle whatever you’re facing. You’re automatically enrolled in the program. Use of your EAP services is completely confidential and will not be reported to your employer. Our network providers are experts in helping you work through mental health issues and the complex things that pop up in our everyday lives. Depending on the support you need, you can connect with a provider in person, by phone, video chat, or message.

Common Member Questions 

Where can I find a list of your counselors/network providers?

We do not have a published provider list. Please call us at 800-968-8143 or submit the Find Care form to share your preferences and concerns. Our team will match you with a provider from our diverse network who fits your needs.

What happens after my EAP sessions are gone?

You can choose to end your mental health relationship, continue care using your health insurance, or pay out of pocket.

My provider never called me back. What now?

If you received multiple options, please choose another professional from the list. If you have exhausted all options, please contact us so we may provide a new referral.

Why am I being asked for my health insurance and credit card information? I thought this was free.

A provider who accepts health insurance may ask for your information, so after using all your free EAP sessions, you can seamlessly continue your sessions through your health insurance. Also, it is standard practice for most providers to have your card on file. It provides an additional option after your EAP sessions have been exhausted. Members will not be charged for authorized sessions with your provider.

Can I receive assistance with my disability process?

Please reach out to us to discuss your specific needs. While our providers do not complete disability paperwork, we’re happy to explore how we can support you.

Can I get a legal consultation for an issue with the company I work/worked for or a previous organization from which I received services?

No. Our legal providers cannot assist with matters that may expose an organization to liability. For other legal concerns, we can connect you with a local attorney.
