Virginia: One Practice, Three Service Lines

Virginia stretches from Northern Virginia's DC-Metro commuter belt through the rolling Piedmont and Shenandoah Valley, down to the Hampton Roads coastline and across the Blue Ridge to Roanoke and the New River Valley. Icon Medicine's Maryland-licensed clinicians deliver same-day telehealth to all of it — Suboxone and buprenorphine MAT for opioid use disorder, primary care, and chronic-condition management — under a single board-certified telehealth practice. Cross-state coordination, prior-authorization paperwork, and pharmacy confirmation are handled by our team.

Whether you live in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Richmond, Newport News, Hampton, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, the Shenandoah Valley, or anywhere in between, your Virginia telehealth visit works around your schedule — not the other way around. Same-day appointments are available across all three service lines, and Virginia Medicaid FAMIS covers MAT without prior authorization.

Our providers understand Virginia's cross-state landscape — the daily Northern Virginia commute into the DC/MD metro, the federal workforce spread across the Pentagon, CIA, and DHS, the Hampton Roads military community centered on Naval Station Norfolk, and the Virginia Tech / UVA / William & Mary research corridor. Every Virginia patient is covered under 42 CFR Part 2 — stricter than HIPAA — which matters in a state where career reputation and security clearances intersect with treatment access.

Virginia Telehealth Coverage & Licensing Rules

Virginia's telehealth statute — Virginia Code §54.1-2901 — and the Virginia Board of Medicine's interstate practice guidance govern how a Maryland-licensed clinician delivers care to a patient physically located in Virginia. Icon Medicine operates within that framework: each clinician is appropriately credentialed for the patient-side encounter, and buprenorphine prescribing follows the federal standard (any DEA-registered practitioner may prescribe Schedule III buprenorphine under current federal law).

For coverage, the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) and all six contracted Managed Care Organizations — Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Molina Healthcare of Virginia, Optima Health, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Virginia, and Virginia Premier — cover telehealth MAT at parity with in-person care. Buprenorphine for OUD does not require prior authorization through Virginia Medicaid FAMIS, so same-day Suboxone dispensing is a covered benefit for Virginia enrollees.

Local Suboxone pickup — what Virginians should know

Once your prescriber sends a Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) prescription to your Virginia pharmacy, pickup is typically same-day. Most major chains — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Kroger, and Harris Teeter — stock 8mg/2mg and 12mg/3mg films across Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, Richmond, Roanoke, and the Shenandoah Valley, but availability rotates by location.

If your first-choice pharmacy is out of stock, Icon Medicine can transfer the prescription electronically to a second Virginia location (any chain or local independent). Cross-state stock-out transfers usually resolve within a few hours.

Same-day telehealth openings for Suboxone/MAT, primary care, and chronic-condition visits. Many Virginia patients start buprenorphine or have their first wellness exam the same day they reach out.

One Provider, One Record

MAT, primary care, and chronic-condition management live in the same chart. Your Icon Medicine provider sees the full picture — including your Suboxone dose and your A1c — on every telehealth visit.

42 CFR Part 2 Confidentiality

Federal 42 CFR Part 2 protection on every OUD visit. Employers, family, law enforcement, and insurers cannot access your treatment records without written consent. Critical for Northern Virginia's federal workforce (Pentagon / CIA / DHS), Hampton Roads military communities tied to Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and the Virginia Tech / UVA / William & Mary research workforce.

Virginia Medicaid FAMIS — No PA

Virginia Medicaid (Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Molina Healthcare of Virginia, Optima Health, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Virginia, Virginia Premier) covers buprenorphine for OUD without prior authorization. Most commercial plans and Medicare accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions — Virginia Telehealth

Virginia residents asking about Icon Medicine's telehealth MAT, primary care, and chronic-condition services — answered by our clinical team.

Yes. Icon Medicine offers same-day telehealth visits for Virginia residents across all three service lines — Suboxone/buprenorphine MAT, primary care, and chronic-condition management. Book via the OptimAntra portal or call (240) 966-4266 and we typically have same-day openings for patients in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Arlington, Alexandria, Richmond, Newport News, Hampton, Roanoke, Lynchburg, the Shenandoah Valley, and across Northern Virginia.
Yes — under the cross-state telehealth pathway Icon Medicine uses for Virginia patients. Providers hold active DEA buprenorphine authority and operate within Virginia Code §54.1-2901 and current Virginia Board of Medicine interstate practice guidance. The buprenorphine prescription is sent electronically to your Virginia pharmacy; the MAINER Act eliminated the federal X-waiver for Schedule III buprenorphine, so any DEA-registered practitioner may prescribe.
Yes. Virginia Medicaid (including FAMIS for children and pregnant members) covers buprenorphine for opioid use disorder without prior authorization through DMAS. All six contracted MCOs — Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Molina Healthcare of Virginia, Optima Health, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Virginia, and Virginia Premier — cover telehealth MAT at parity. Vivitrol coverage is typically available when clinically appropriate.
Yes. All substance use disorder treatment records at Icon Medicine are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal law stricter than HIPAA. Your employer, family members, law enforcement, and insurance carrier cannot access your records without your written consent, which matters for Virginia's Northern Virginia federal workforce (Pentagon, CIA, DHS), Hampton Roads military communities tied to Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and Virginia Tech / UVA / William & Mary academic and research staff.
Icon Medicine serves all of Virginia via telehealth. Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Loudoun, Prince William); Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk); Richmond and the Tri-Cities (Petersburg, Hopewell, Colonial Heights); Roanoke and the Blue Ridge; Lynchburg; the Shenandoah Valley (Staunton, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Winchester); Charlottesville; Fredericksburg; and the New River Valley including Blacksburg and Radford. Cross-border commuting from Northern Virginia into the DC/MD metro is naturally suited to a Maryland-licensed telehealth practice.
Yes. Many Virginia patients have co-occurring conditions — opioid, kratom, or alcohol use disorder alongside uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, or chronic pain. Icon Medicine coordinates SUD and primary care in the same telehealth practice. Buprenorphine works for both opioid and kratom dependence; naltrexone can address both OUD (after detox) and AUD.
Buprenorphine micro-induction (low-dose or ABSI induction) lets patients start buprenorphine without waiting for full withdrawal — critical for patients still using fentanyl or long-acting opioids. Icon Medicine providers guide Virginia patients through micro-induction via secure telehealth visits, then transition to a standard daily Suboxone dose once induction is complete.
Prescriptions are sent electronically to any Virginia pharmacy that stocks buprenorphine — CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Walmart, Kroger, Harris Teeter, and local independents across Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, Richmond, Roanoke, and the Shenandoah Valley. Virginia pharmacies face the same DEA buprenorphine stock variability as other states, so call ahead to confirm 8mg/2mg or 12mg/3mg film availability before driving. If your first-choice pharmacy is out, Icon Medicine can e-transfer the script to a second Virginia location within hours.
