Telepsychiatry in Anson County, NC — Medicaid Accepted
About 22,000 people live in Anson County. Wadesboro, the county seat, is the biggest town. Morven, Lilesville, Peachland and Polkton are smaller yet. No psychiatry office waits for you down the street here. The usual answer has been US-74 west to Monroe, about 30 miles. Or all the way into Charlotte, closer to 70 minutes.
That is a bad deal for a simple medicine check. Pinnacle Behavioral Health and Wellness sees Anson County by secure video. You meet Afi Kpakossou, PMHNP-BC, often within a few days. We take NC Medicaid.
Serving Wadesboro and all of Anson County. North Carolina residents only.
Who we help in Anson County
Here is the care we give Anson County adults and teens:
- ADHD evaluation and treatment
Testing for adults and teens, plus care after that. Many people here have never been checked at all.
- Depression
Medicine for depression. That includes depression that shows up as being tired and short-tempered.
- Anxiety
Help for worry that will not switch off. Also panic attacks and fear of driving or crowds.
- Medication management
Refills and dose changes, sent online to your pharmacy in Wadesboro or wherever you fill.
We see adults and teens. We are a psychiatry practice. That means we test, we diagnose, and we prescribe. If you need something we do not offer, we will say so plainly. Read more about how our telepsychiatry works.
We accept Medicaid
Anson County has one of the highest Medicaid sign-up rates in the state. And almost none of the big national telehealth brands will bill it. That is the gap we fill. We take NC Medicaid managed care plans. We tell you what your coverage looks like up front. No insurance? Ask about our self-pay rate.
NC Medicaid plans we are in-network with
- Healthy Blue (Blue Cross NC)
- WellCare of North Carolina
- Carolina Complete Health
- AmeriHealth Caritas North Carolina
- UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of North Carolina
Not on Medicaid? You can pay out of pocket. We will tell you the cost before you book. See our full Medicaid page.

Instead of the drive out of Anson County
Atrium Health Anson in Wadesboro is a small community hospital. It is the closest thing the county has to a medical hub. But for psychiatry, people here get sent west. Monroe is about 30 miles. Charlotte is about 50. In Charlotte traffic, that is well over an hour each way.
One visit should not cost you a tank of gas and a day of work. Meet your provider by video from Wadesboro, Morven or Lilesville. Then get on with your day.

Questions from Anson County
Is there a psychiatrist in Wadesboro?
Anson County has very little local psychiatric care. Pinnacle serves Wadesboro, Morven, Lilesville, Peachland and Polkton by secure video. We take NC Medicaid.
What if I do not have insurance?
You can pay out of pocket. Call or text (336) 828-2599. We will tell you the cost before you book.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Usually within days. That is the main reason Anson County patients pick video over waiting for a Charlotte opening.
Do you serve all of Anson County?
Yes. Anywhere in the county with a phone or internet signal. That includes McFarlan, Ansonville and the farm roads in between.
