Keep calm with mental health care by Evernorth Confide
Life’s challenges can affect your overall well-being so it’s important to make mental health care a priority. Sometimes that’s difficult to do when you can’t find the care you need or where to start, but don't delay getting help.
Concordia Health Plan members – and members of their households – have a new resource to get them started down a mental wellness path: the Evernorth Confide Behavioral Health Navigator.
Through Evernorth Confide's enhanced EAP, members have access to expanded mental health care solutions, including personalized navigation designed to break down the most common barriers to getting behavioral health care.
Register or log in at well.evernorth.com using Employer ID: CONCORDIA. To reach Evernorth Confide by phone, call 866-726-5267.
For the Pastoral Support Network through Evernorth, use the Employer ID: PASTOR or call 888-712-1805.
THIS NEW PORTAL WILL REPLACE MYCIGNA.COM FOR EAP ACCESS. (If you’re receiving care through current EAP services, no additional action is needed to continue care, and you’ll still have access to the same counselors.)
*Evernorth Confide is only available to Concordia Health Plan members and members of their households.
How to find and choose a counselor
