The EAP Provider works with the Member <br />to identify resources of an appropriate type and level of care beyond the benefit. <br />3) Referrals to other resources are offered to Members if the type of care is outside of the <br />scope of practice of this benefit. <br />4) 24-hour crisis hotline, 7 days/week. <br />5) Referrals for legal consultation. <br />6) Referrals for financial counseling. <br />7) Identity theft consultation. <br />B.
