Insurance

Lodestar does not accept insurance. The practice is out-of-network with all insurers, and we provide a detailed superbill you may submit for out-of-network reimbursement.

Employer benefits · Lyra

The exception is Lyra. Lodestar accepts Lyra from select local employers, including those below. Coverage depends on how your employer has set up its Lyra benefit, so please confirm your eligibility before your first visit.

  • WakeMed
  • Apple
Medicare

If you have Medicare, there are specific federal requirements for private-pay care. We will walk you through them before your first visit.

Between-visit work

Substantive work between visits (records, imaging review, written reports, care coordination) is quoted in advance and never hidden.

Why a fixed fee

Insurance pays psychiatrists by the visit, which pushes visits to be short. A fixed fee paid directly lets the evaluation take as long as it needs.
