TLAP provides referrals and recommendations at no charge.

TLAP does not have any pecuniary interest or financial connection whatsoever with any facility in the assessment and/or treatment process. All financial arrangements for assessments and/or treatment are made directly between the client, the client’s insurance company if applicable, and the facility.

TLAP never receives any referral fees, payments, or incentives of any kind and has no financial interest or benefit of any nature or kind as to which facilities are TLAP-approved or recommended, etc. TLAP-approved professionals’ track facilities are selected upon objective clinical programming and qualifications that meet the needs of Safety Sensitive Occupations and generate fitness to practice for licensed professionals such as lawyers, doctors, nurses, and airline pilots, etc.

In a case of client financial hardship, a TLAP client can apply for a loan from the TLAP Foundation, a 501(c)(3) corporation. The TLAP Foundation is independent and TLAP does not have access to, or process, any of the funds from the TLAP Foundation. Any such proceeds are paid by the TLAP Foundation directly to the facility providing the TLAP-approved clinical services.

In appropriate cases, TLAP can also endeavor to help make it possible for financially challenged clients to receive treatment by encouraging the client to ask the facility to provide cash discounts as possible when the client is severely challenged and/or simply cannot afford treatment otherwise (even with a TLAP Foundation loan). Any such cash discount, however, is solely up to the facility in question. TLAP has no control whatsoever as to the availability of a hardship discount and TLAP is not directly involved in the financing of treatment.

The overall mission is to support the financially challenged client in finding a way to access a level of care that is appropriate for a licensed professional, and  to establish fitness to practice at a TLAP-approved facility so that TLAP can then monitor the client and advocate that the client’s prior impairment has been removed by clear and convincing evidence and they are safe to practice.
