In your initial appointment, your provider will do a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, and may order blood work or imaging to confirm or rule out any conditions that may be contributing to your Heartburn or Acid Reflux symptoms.
During the second appointment, your provider will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that is tailored exclusively for you, which may include dietary changes and prescribed medications if determined to be medically appropriate.
After you start your treatment plan, you will have regular video check-ins with your provider to ensure the plan is working to help you effectively manage your symptoms, and that your lifestyle continues to improve. Speak to a provider today to get started!

General

Results will be integrated with our HIPAA-compliant mobile app so that patients have access to all of their medical records in one secure place.

Note: As a patient, you must be physically present within the state your provider is actively licensed to practice medicine in at the time of service.
The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.
Billing
For those with insurance, your final out-of-pocket costs are determined by your insurance. Once we submit the claim, insurance companies will pay for their portiona portion of the appointment and pass on any remaining costs to you as noted in your policy. Once we know what this cost is, we will update you with an invoice within the app. If you are uninsured, you will be able to receive a cash-pay estimate in our mobile application.
For those with insurance, it typically takes 1-3 weeks for the insurance claim to be processed. Once processed, we’ll send you an invoice within the app with any remaining costs. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
For those without insurance (or with out of network insurance), we will send you the invoice 1-2 days after your appointment is completed. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
Insurance
We accept over 1,500+ insurance plans. We cover most of the major PPO insurance companies (payors) across the United States. The best way to confirm coverage of your insurance plan is to begin booking an appointment on our website or via our mobile app. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter your insurance information for a real-time verification of your insurance plan.
We do not accept Medicaid or Medi-Cal at this time.
The best way to confirm your insurance plan coverage is to call the Member Services phone number on the back of your insurance card. If needed, you can reference our Tax ID#: 474883537 and our NPI: 1134596091. Once you are able to confirm your coverage and your primary care copay costs, you can use the in-app chat to message our team with the information. We’ll then follow up with confirmation.
Your per-appointment costs are set by your insurance plan. If the costs seem high, you may be on a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This means that you have an annual out-of-pocket amount that you must pay on healthcare in a given year before your insurance plan will cover more of your per-appointment costs.
If you are on an HDHP and have confirmed your insurance information in our mobile app, your remaining deductible for the year will be displayed on the “Book Appointment” page. Note that this amount may be outdated if you have had recent insurance claims processed.

It was easy to use. The provider was extremely attentive, and actually listened. Coming from a primary care office that had terrible client service, Circle Medical was really a breath of fresh air. Thank you to this team for helping me get the treatment I need.

Quick and easy especially if you're super busy with life and work to make a appointment to go some where and see a provider... this is a life changer for me.
Armando
The ease and quick turnaround for an appointment is addressing a dire strain on the current infrastructure of healthcare (one of which they refuse to address). My provider was also unlike any healthcare provider that I’ve met. She was nonjudgmental, kind, and not only advocated for informed consent, but her actions aligned with it. This is the future for healthcare and it is about time.
Sarah
My provider is amazing and very professional. Customer care is always on top of any question you have. I would highly recommend Circle Medical.

Ease of use. The technology piece makes getting help that would be very time consuming and expensive more achievable.

I’m very happy with the service that Circle provides me with. It’s easy to make appointments with short notice or in advance. Being able to chat in between appointments is an awesome feature and the timely responses I’ve received are always appreciated. I actually have referred a friend to Circle already and she is very happy as well.

I am very happy with my treatment and my provider has been really great and helpful. I came to Circle from Done, and Circle is far better at patient follow-up and working with me so that I can manage my ADHD in the best way possible. Also, I am very happy with the communication with Circle Medical.

Easy to connect with a medical professional and excellent communication from the patient coordinators.

It's just been an easy process and this is the first time where I feel like my provider really wants to get to know me as a person and not just another appointment.

Heidi
I love the app and support from my PCP. Great communication and engagement before and after appointments.
Krish
Very good for transgender care, which is great because most telehealth does not do that, and ones specifically for trans care don't accept insurance. It is excellent that this does.

I love having a primary care provider to work with me on getting the correct medication needed to function. I love the convenience of the telehealth appointments as well.

We put patients first in every decision we make, and follow clinical guidelines based on evidence-based medicine to ensure patients get the most effective care possible.
If you experience heartburn or acid reflux, following these tips may help to manage your symptoms:
Avoid trigger foods and drinks — Certain foods and drinks can exacerbate the symptoms of GERD. These may include spicy foods, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol and any foods with high acidity. Take note of your trigger foods and make sure to avoid them whenever possible.
Eat smaller meals and chew thoroughly — Large meals can sometimes cause acid reflux or heartburn symptoms. Eating smaller meals and chewing your food thoroughly will help your digestion and reduce the risk of symptoms.
Avoid meals before bed — Lying down right after eating makes it easier for stomach acid to flow back through the esophagus. Giving your body ample time to digest will help reduce your symptoms at night.
Raise the head of your bed — Try to elevate the head of your bed by six to nine inches to help reduce acid reflux and heartburn symptoms. Gravity can help to keep the acid down.
Maintain a healthy weight — Excess weight can put pressure on your abdomen and increase the likelihood of acid reflux.
Quit smoking — Smoking can have a myriad of negative health effects, including the weakening of your lower esophageal sphincter.
Manage stress — Stress can sometimes worsen the symptoms of acid reflux. Try relaxing activities to manage stress. You can double down by making some calming tea with ingredients like ginger or peppermint that help to soothe the stomach.
Avoid tight clothing — Tight-fitting clothing can put pressure on your abdomen and increase the risk of acid reflux.
Sleep on your left side — Sleeping on your left can sometimes help reduce acid reflux symptoms. Try sleeping on your left side if you usually sleep a different way.
