Employee Assistance Program

You can help your employees be at their very best, both at work and in their personal lives, by providing our employee assistance program (EAP). This program is run by First Sun EAP. Because First Sun is a separate company from BlueChoice HealthPlan, First Sun will be responsible for all services related to the EAP.

By offering members our EAP, you can help to reduce the number of days employees miss, help to increase productivity and bring out the best in your employees. These services are free to members and those in their households.
