APS is the primary provider group for Expanded Psychiatric Services (EPS), a product of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama (BCBSAL), as well as other BCBSAL products. These products help companies to budget a predictable expense for comprehensive psychiatric services through a pre-paid (capitated) method of payment. EPS products require no co-pay or deductible when employees and eligible dependents visit a network provider or use a network facility. For over two decades this product has had a proven track record for controlling costs with excellent patient satisfaction. Physicians are on call 24 hours a day at each office location. We continually evaluate the quality of services provided. Clinical services are monitored regularly to determine the effectiveness of treatment interventions and the patient’s response to care. Other quality indicators include patient satisfaction and access to care. Please visit the Quality Improvement section of this website for more information.
