The exact causes of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are not fully understood. However, there are several factors that are believed to contribute to the development of IBS. These factors include:
People with IBS may have abnormal contractions of the muscles in their intestines, either stronger and longer-lasting contractions (spasms) or weaker and less efficient contractions, leading to changes in bowel movements.
Individuals with IBS may have a heightened sensitivity to pain in their digestive system. This can result in discomfort or pain that is perceived more intensely than in individuals without IBS.
Some people with IBS may have a low-grade inflammation in their intestines, which can contribute to symptoms such as abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.
The balance of bacteria and other microorganisms in the gut, known as the gut microbiota, may be disrupted in people with IBS. This imbalance could potentially influence digestive function and lead to symptoms.
Certain foods or beverages may trigger or worsen symptoms in individuals with IBS. Common triggers include fatty foods, spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners.
Stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors can influence the functioning of the digestive system. People with IBS may experience an exacerbation of symptoms during periods of increased stress or emotional turmoil.
It's important to note that IBS is a complex condition, and the interplay of these factors can vary from person to person. If you suspect you have IBS or are experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, it's best to consult with your primary care provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management strategies.

Anna
I’m convinced that these wonderful people truly care about the patients they serve. I have made such a meaningful connection with my provider, and every rep who answers my questions in the chat. First-rate customer support. Easy appointment booking. Fair price. Thank you Circle Medical.
Amy
The whole process is so simple to use! This includes the new patient registration to the visits. The provider is absolutely a gem! The entire team is amazing. I recommend this service to everyone. For me, this is helpful due to my erratic schedule working in various rural Emergency Departments...I can take my appointment with me.
Killian
Prior to Circle Medical, I struggled for months as I visited doctor after doctor for an ADD diagnosis, just to be ignored and misdiagnosed because none of them had researched ADD in women. Then, I found Circle, and was diagnosed and treated within days. The treatment worked, and my life has improved drastically.
April
I am very impressed by Circle Medical and its providers. I have already recommended that my husband and son join.

Fast, easy to use, excellent professional service. There are many lousy companies and scams out there, and this is definitely NOT one of them!

I recommend Circle Medical because there’s no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.
Roxane
I have an amazing provider. She understands my ADHD and depression better than any other provider/doctor/therapist I've ever had a session with in person. She's helped me out of one of my most difficult times with her assessments and kept me on track thanks to the ease of communication and accessibility of Circle. I honestly wouldn't be here today without Circle or my provider.
Amira
It is so difficult to access mental health care services right now especially for ADHD, so far I have received immediate and responsive care that has already improved my quality of life, thank you.
Eric
The providers have been exceptionally responsive and giving me great advice. I can get an appointment often within hours if I need something urgently.
Giana
Circle Medical Team members care about their patients, provide outstanding services, and deliver services timely and efficiently.
Andres
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
The best experience ever, I live in a small town where I know my providers personally and sometimes it’s hard to admit where you struggle. It was so nice to have someone that I could talk to in private and that listened and was so thorough and helpful in every way. Very easy experience and I wish I would have done it sooner! Great company!
Vivian
Very wonderful service has allowed me to finaly be able to get the medical help and treatment I need at my convenience. A+
Derrick
I can take the appointment anywhere. I couldn’t find a psychiatrist nearby and resorted to virtual. Circle Medical is a doctor in your pocket and I love it. I love my provider too.

Yes. At Circle Medical, all of our primary care providers are board-certified and are qualified to assess, diagnose and treat a wide array of health conditions. See a full list here.
General
If any in-person care is needed, such as bloodwork, vaccinations, or other testing, our providers are able to send the appropriate request to a nearby lab. 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.
To see if you are located within our service area, begin booking an appointment to enter your zip code.
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.Â
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.
