Online Suboxone treatment in Gastonia, NC
Gastonia patients can request online addiction care through Virtual Addiction Medicine. Our team helps you arrange a physician evaluation, discuss existing treatment, and check coverage before a North Carolina telehealth visit.
Serving Gastonia residents by video. NC Medicaid and commercial insurance accepted; verify your specific benefits before booking.
Getting started when you have more than one insurance card
If you have both Medicaid and another health plan, tell the team about both rather than choosing only one card to submit. The practice needs accurate coverage information to investigate benefits and billing requirements. Let us know if you recently changed jobs, plans, or your address.
Ask which estimated costs apply to your appointment and whether anything is needed before the visit. Insurance verification does not replace a medical evaluation; the physician will still review your history and decide which treatment options are appropriate for you.
Your physician and your treatment plan
Dr. Richard Pavelock provides addiction medicine care through video appointments. Your visit includes a discussion of your history, current medications, and goals. When appropriate, your physician may recommend medication for opioid use disorder, including buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), with ongoing follow-up.

Questions before your Gastonia video visit
Should I provide my commercial plan as well as Medicaid?
Yes. Share all active coverage with the team so it can review the correct billing arrangements. Do not assume that one card replaces another or that a visit will have no patient responsibility without checking.
How do I check insurance or ask about self-pay?
Send the team your current plan information and ask about the expected cost before your visit. Coverage and patient responsibility depend on your benefits. If you are uninsured, ask about the practice’s self-pay option.
