Behavioral
About the Program
The Colorado Firefighter Benefits Trust has added a behavioral health program to our organization, which is now accepting claims for reimbursement of services performed on or after February 10, 2023.
Beginning immediately, we have automatically extended coverage for all Colorado firefighters to receive reimbursement for behavioral and mental health treatment that is not already covered by any other employer offered programs. Coverage has been extended to cover spouses and children of firefighters for family and marriage counseling where a firefighter is also participating. This extension of coverage is defined under SB 22-002, which was signed into law in 2022, and is available as long as funding lasts from the state. Our website will be kept with up-to-date information on remaining funds.
Whether your department already has an existing EAP or behavioral health plan in place and need supplemental coverage, or if you have no pre-existing treatment plan, we are now accepting claims to support your department and staff. There is no cost to participate as long as the limited funding lasts. As a fire service operation, you are enrolled automatically, per SB 22-002, to start using these benefits today.
If you have additional questions, please review our Program Overview or email us at cfhtrust@mcgriff.com
Behavioral Health Program Overview One SheetWhat Do We Reimburse?
We are reimbursing deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket behavioral health expenses not covered by existing fire operations’ benefit programs. We will also reimburse for additional treatments and therapies, even after your current plan benefits run out. If you do not currently have a behavioral health provider, we have provided a list of providers that specialize in First Responders and trauma support below.
Services must be paid by the participant up-front, with requests for the reimbursement filed as a claim. Full details on how to file a claim, and recommended providers, can be found at the bottom of the page.
Remaining Balance of Annual State Funding: As of July 2024: $694,968.91
Roster Request
To assist with the administration of the Behavioral Health Program, please make sure all your applicable employees and volunteer firefighters are on file with us by March 10, 2023. To protect the anonymity of paying for behavioral health services, we will not be able to contact employers to verify employment, therefore providing us a complete roster is the most efficient way to ensure your employees receive their out of pocket expenses, not covered by any other employer-offered EAP or behavioral health service.
For a list of your current roster information on file, please email cfhtrust@mcgriff.com
