Hours of operation

24/7 intake counselor coverage
 

Who answers the phone?

Master’s level FEI EAP counselors/clinical case managers answer the phone Monday – Friday, 8am-5:30pm. After business hours, or if they are unavailable, a Master’s level EAP counselor from FEI’s call center will answer the phone. FEI EAP is not an emergency call center, but it is standard practice for intake counselors to assess for safety for each online contact or telephone call.
 

What should I tell them/what will they ask me?

The EAP counselor who answers the phone will complete a 10-15 minute confidential intake with you, which includes information like where you work, what you are calling about, and how a counselor can best assist you. If you call during normal business hours, an FEI counselor will provide brief support if needed, and at the end of the conversation you will receive a referral name and contact number for an EAP affiliate counselor for you to see in your area. If you spoke after hours with a member of FEI’s call center, you will receive a call back with the referral name and number within one business day.
 

Can I do this process online?

Yes, complete the confidential FEI Intake Form online at https://aoh.eapintake.com/ and receive a call back from an FEI EAP counselor within one business day. During this call, the EAP counselor will provide you with contact information for a local EAP affiliate counselor for you to see. The online intake form may also be accessed from FEI's Landing Page at https://fei.mylifeexpert.com/login/cityofmadison.  Here are the instructions for setting up an online account:

Who can use the City’s external EAP?

FEI EAP is available to City employees whether they are full-time, part-time, hourly, seasonal, or interns. FEI counselors and affiliates are also available to employees’ eligible family members or dependents. An eligible family member includes your immediate family members, meaning your spouse or non-marital partner, as well as children who are dependent on you for support. If you have questions about whether or not someone qualifies for the EAP benefit, call our internal EAP office to confirm at 608-266-6561. Referrals through the employee’s health plan will only cover family members on that policy.
