SAP List

Description

While a SAP can keep relatively busy providing SAP services as an affiliate for EAPs, the most often heard complaint is that reimbursement is either minimal or slow, and sometimes both. By building a SAP practice that provides services to both private clients and affiliate contracts, a SAP will not only increase his/her familiarity with the regulations and the process, but will also create a revenue stream that is more commensurate with the SAP's commitment of time and money to be able to provide these services in the first place.

#12 I am an addictions counselor, and I am licensed by my state. Is that OK for providing SAP services? If your only credential is in addictions, you must hold one (or both) of the certifications in Question #11 (Credentials)(e) above. Your addictions credential must be one that allows you to provide services in all states without requiring you to be re-certified or re-credentialed. If your certification restricts you from providing service in any other states, you do not meet DOT's requirement as a SAP. However, you may qualify under one of the other listed credentials.

In order to meet DOT's requirements of training and a SAP exam, a SAP must invest significant time and energy and money. Once trained, each SAP has the potential to fill a niche , to provide unique services to employers in the transportation industry. For some, providing SAP services has, in the past year or two, become a mainstay of a private practice. For others, their practices have diversified to include training, educating, and consulting.

You must keep records on your trainings, and on the satisfactory completion of exams that follow each training. You must provide that documentation to any service agents that ask for it, including: an EAP who is considering adding you to its SAP network/broker, or a consortium or third-party administrator who is compiling a list of qualified SAPs for its employer clients. An employer who is considering you as a SAP may also ask you to provide this documentation. If you are unable to provide documentation to a service agent, that service agent will probably not ask you to provide SAP services.
