Generally, the employee assistance program should be used for short term counseling. Use EAP first in order to maximize your benefits.
bullet Cigna must be used when inpatient care for mental health or substance abuse treatment is needed. Cigna also provides counseling services. When using Cigna, employees have to pay copayments in accordance with the benefit schedules.

The managed mental health and substance abuse benefits are administered by Cigna. This means that managed mental health and substance abuse services are available through a network of selected behavioral care providers in your community. This includes psychiatrists, psychologists, master level social workers, marriage and family counselors, as well as hospital and alcohol or other substance abuse treatment centers.
