County expands Employee Assistance Program visits for public safety workers
Summary
Tippecanoe County approved an agreement with Suncrest Psychological Services to expand the Employee Assistance Program: unlimited visits annually for law enforcement and public safety positions and 26 visits annually for other eligible employees and dependents on the Anthem plan, which HR said provides cost savings and improved access.
The Board approved an agreement with Suncrest Psychological Services, LLC, to revise Tippecanoe County’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
HR Director Sadie McKinley told the commissioners the contract change gives law enforcement and public safety employees unlimited EAP visits per year while other eligible employees and their dependents who are on the Anthem health plan will have access to 26 visits per year. McKinley said the updates are intended to provide cost savings and improved access to behavioral health services.
Commissioner David S. Byers moved to approve the agreement and Vice President Thomas P. Murtaugh seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion as carried. The board also approved a CASA position reclassification to change one Volunteer Coordinator role to one Staff Advocate (no salary change) during the same HR presentation.
