Mental Health Benefits
A member organization reached out to me asking if I know what other member organizations are providing in relation to mental health benefits either within their health plan or through other benefits/vendors. Following is the note they invited me to share with the MASP member organizations to learn what others are doing and/or have found helpful:
"As we continue to evaluate what staff need from a health plan, we continue to hear a rising emphasis on strong and accessible mental health benefits. We are interested in hearing how you support mental health in your health plans or through other benefits/vendors. Are there ways that you offer additional or increased benefits outside of in-network and in-person mental health counseling?"
Thanks for any insights or resources that you're willing to share!
TotalCare EAP - This second post is to share some info about TotalCare EAP. The only thing I know about them is from some correspondence I've had with Jonathan Coddington at LD&B. I asked him if he's found any mental health benefit providers (either virtual or otherwise) that he's found that Employers Health Risk Consortium clients are happy with. He responded that mental health seems to be a conundrum for many employers right now. He said he is currently vetting this vendor out of NY and he passed along some info to me. I'll upload some flyers Jonathan passed along to me about the vendor. He also forwarded info on a demo for the website and an orientation video. Those are:

That's pretty much all I know about this vendor but thought I'd pass it along as Jonathan has a good knack for finding helpful resources. If anyone has interest in exploring this further feel free to reach out to the vendor directly or let me know and I can see what might be available if we'd coordinate access through the MASP.
