saving money at the EAP

It occurred to me the other day that if you are serious about saving money, and who isn’t these days, then you should schedule several visits with the EAP. Yes, we can help you with simple budgeting techniques but that’s actually not what I had in mind.

It goes more like this. The first four visits to a private counselor at $150 per visit will set you back for $600. You meet your deductible at $500 so, less the 20% co-pay, it’s actually only $580. Two more visits (the standard EAP limit) and you’ve spent another $160. Total out of pocket is $740. Wow! What could you do with that?

On the other hand, if you use your free EAP visits (six for you and your dependents) the grand total comes to--$00.00. It’s really better than a fire sale at a local department store where you have to spend money to “save” money. All you have to do with the Employee Assistance Program is make an appointment and come in to talk with one of our counselors about any kind of personal or family stress for which some professional feedback might be helpful. Instantly you have not only saved a pocket full of money but you feel better as well. And because it’s confidential, no one has to know how smart you really are. What a bargain.
