Some participating employer programs may authorize payment for eligible DOT SAP services. Coverage depends on the employer’s program and must be confirmed before scheduling.
Do not assume the benefit applies.
An employer may offer therapy through an EAP without covering SAP services, or it may authorize SAP services only in specific circumstances. The office verifies the route before the evaluation.
What information helps?
- Your employer name
- Your EAP company if known
- Any authorization or case number
- The employer or C/TPA contact when available
- The state where you will attend virtually
If the benefit is not available
The $500 professional SAP fee and available payment options can be discussed so finances do not become an unnecessary barrier to beginning.
Frequently asked questions
Does every EAP cover SAP evaluations?
No. Some participating employer programs may cover eligible SAP services, but the employer’s specific program must be verified.
Does benefit verification replace the SAP intake?
No. Verification addresses the payment route. The worker still completes the separate intake and professional evaluation process.
Does an EAP referral clear me to return to work?
No. The SAP evaluates compliance, while the employer controls the return-to-duty test and personnel decision.
