Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pinnacle Behavioral Health?

Can I see a psychiatric provider online in North Carolina?
Yes. North Carolina law allows fully virtual psychiatric care via telehealth. Pinnacle Behavioral Health serves patients throughout the state — from Charlotte and Raleigh to Asheville and Wilmington. No in-person visit is required. All appointments are conducted via secure HIPAA-compliant video.
Can I book a same-day psychiatric appointment in North Carolina?
Yes. Many patients are scheduled the same day or within 24 hours of requesting an appointment. Same-day telepsychiatry is available across North Carolina for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and medication management — no referral required.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in North Carolina?
Yes. Most major insurance plans cover telehealth psychiatric visits at the same rate as in-person visits. Pinnacle Behavioral Health accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, and Tricare. NC Medicaid plans accepted include Healthy Blue, WellCare, Trillium Health, and Carolina Complete Health. Self-pay rates are $179 for an initial evaluation and $99 for follow-up visits.
What mental health conditions does Pinnacle Behavioral Health treat?

How is a psychiatrist different from a therapist?
A psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. A therapist provides talk therapy and coping strategies but cannot prescribe. Many patients benefit from both — Pinnacle's providers can coordinate with your existing therapist for comprehensive care.
What should I expect at my first psychiatric appointment?
Your first appointment is a 45- to 60-minute evaluation via secure video. Your provider will review your symptoms, mental health history, medication history, and family history. They will also ask how your condition affects your daily life. If medication is appropriate, a prescription is sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy the same day. Follow-up appointments are typically 20–30 minutes.
