The Member Assistance Program (MAP) is the Plan’s network for counseling services and is provided by Mercy. Like the mental health and substance abuse network, MAP services are in-network services and payable only when you see providers in the Mercy MAP. Mercy’s MAP licensed counselors hold a minimum of a master’s degree in the counseling field.
MAP is available when life gets overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with everyday problems or major life events, your MAP can help with confidential counseling, referral and support for you and your family. Mercy MAP counselors offer guidance and support and are trained to deal with a range of personal issues.
MAP counselors provide short-term counseling, generally up to six counseling sessions, as well as information and support in any of the following areas:
- Strained relationships
- Stress at work or at home
- Anger, resentment
- Parenting concerns
- Addictions to things like drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.
- Depression and anxiety
- Grief and loss
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
- Retirement/aging
If you are eligible for health benefits under the Plan, services are free and confidential for you and your covered dependents. If additional treatment beyond the scope of MAP is necessary, your MAP counselor can assist coordinating your care through the mental health provision under your medical plan (Cigna Healthcare) or through available community services.
