Our team will reach out to parents/guardians prior to completing any billable medical or behavioral health services and consent will be obtained before services are provided. For this reason, we ask that you provide the requested insurance information.

If you do not have health insurance, we are happy to help your family apply for coverage. We also offer an affordable sliding-fee scale for both medical and behavioral health services.

Blue Ridge Health complies with North Carolina Senate Bill 49, the Parents’ Bill of Rights. Per NC House Bill 808 and Executive Order 14187, gender-affirming hormone therapy, puberty-blocking medications, and surgical referrals are not provided to minors at any Blue Ridge Health location.
