Will my department find out I’m getting treatment?
No. Your care is HIPAA-protected and we never notify your department; Craig Tiger Act billing goes to your employer’s claims administrator, never your clinical notes.
Will counseling affect my fitness for duty?
No. Voluntary care is not a fitness-for-duty finding, and most officers and firefighters we treat stay on full duty.
Am I eligible for the Craig Tiger Act?
Arizona’s Craig Tiger Act (A.R.S. § 38-673) covers peace officers, firefighters and other public safety employees after a traumatic event on duty, with up to 36 counseling visits paid by your employer. We confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork.
Can treatment work around a 24/48 or rotating shift?
Yes. IOP runs four days a week, about three hours a day, with morning, evening and virtual tracks that fit most 24/48 and 48/96 rotations.
What if the Craig Tiger Act or my insurance won’t cover something?
You can apply for a 100 Club of Arizona grant for costs like IOP, accelerated TMS and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Our intake team will help you apply.
Veteran, active duty, Guard or Reserve?
Our Veterans & Military program accepts VA Community Care (TriWest) and TRICARE, with the same team and the same IOP.
