For employees who have waived health coverage due to spousal or other qualified coverage, the $4/month EAP (Employee Assistance Program) is available as a stand-alone option. This to provide a wide variety of employee assistance, including behavioral health. This coverage must be paid for by the employer, not deducted from payroll, due to the mandate of the Affordable Care Act. This coverage is automatically included for all employees already on the Diocesan Health Plan. To enroll an employee who has waived other medical coverage, contact me directly.
