Talkspace—No Cost for 8 Sessions

With Talkspace you can send text messages to a licensed therapist 24/7 without an appointment. If desired, you can schedule live, face-to-face video visits with a therapist in lieu of texting. Your eight free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) sessions allow you to access Talkspace at no cost for up to eight weeks.

How to Use
Call the EAP at 1-866-881-6800 and request a Talkspace authorization code. Then visit talkspace.com/connect. Under “Use my Employee Assistance Program (EAP),” click “Get Started.” Fill out your basic information. Type Wespath in the “Organization name” field and enter the authorization code you received from the EAP.

For Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois Participants
Anything beyond eight sessions will not be covered under your behavioral health benefit. After the eight free sessions, please log into benefitsaccess.org, click the “Health” tab and then click the “Go to Blue Cross Blue Shield” button to find an in-network behavioral health provider. You may want to ask your Talkspace provider for tips about finding a local provider who works for you.
