Many mild cases of Sleep Apnea can be treated by losing weight, changes in frequency and intensity in exercise, breath work, reducing alcohol consumption, stopping smoking, and more.
If a patient’s Sleep Apnea is significant enough that behavior changes alone are not effective, the typical treatment for Sleep Apnea is the use of a CPAP machine or similar device to help regulate a patient’s breathing while they sleep.
Available only with a prescription, CPAP machines have continued to evolve along with other medical technology, and have become easier than ever to use. Your provider will be able to recommend a CPAP device that is most compatible with your lifestyle, and will be covered by most insurance plans. Prescriptions are also available for oral appliances if applicable.
In very rare or extreme cases, or for patients who are unable or would prefer not to use a CPAP device or other device, Circle Medical providers can make an appropriate diagnosis and refer the patient out to an appropriate specialist.
Once you have chosen and started a treatment plan, your provider will prescribe a follow-up sleep study to confirm that your treatment is working.

Sleep Apnea is very common, and affects nearly 1 billion people across the world each year. In the US, 25-30% of men, and 9-17% of women are estimated to have obstructive Sleep Apnea. While men are more likely to be affected than women, it can be much more common during and after pregnancy, and as we age. Other significant factors that contribute to Sleep Apnea include:
Family history
Obesity
Alcohol use
Smoking
Obstructive Sleep Apnea occurs when your airways become blocked during sleep. Typical symptoms include being tired during the day (despite adequate hours of rest), trouble staying asleep at night, headaches or dry mouth in the morning, and excessive or loud snoring that includes moments of gasping for air (these are usually observed by sleeping partners).
It is important to note that not all of these symptoms may present in a person who is experiencing Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea often affects people who are not obese, for example. Additionally, up to 20% of patients who have Sleep Apnea do NOT snore. (Snoring in and of itself is not always associated with Sleep Apnea.)
Left undiagnosed or untreated, Sleep Apnea can cause serious health complications for your or your loved one. Not only does it disrupt the quality of sleep for you or your sleep partner, untreated it could lead to other significant issues, including:
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Cardiomyopathy (enlargement of the muscle tissue of the heart)
Atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat)
Type-II diabetes
Heart disease
Heart failure
Stroke

Very convenient! I love the ease of scheduling, the availability of providers, and the wide range of symptoms they treat!
Henry
It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.
Ezra
The convenience and the combination of PCP care with knowledge of mental health. The physician took the time to get to know me both physically and mentally.
Tamara
I felt heard. I felt educated by the provider. There’s so much stigma and such a shortage of psychiatrists. I felt alone and judged, but Circle was different.
Princess
The efficiency of not having to go to an office and the flexible hours are great!
Tina
Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.
Felipe
Circle Medicine has been a godsend for me because in my rural area there are not enough primary care physicians. I've had 5 PCPs in 4 years because they keep leaving. When I couldn't get a timely appointment with a new PCP, Circle Medical helped me, with care and concern. I highly recommend Circle Medical. I'm getting better care and health conversation with my provider than I did in person!
Dalia
My provider is awesome. She is always on time and prepared for my appointments. She is patient, listens to my concerns, and provides excellent care. The app is super easy to use and helps me keep track of my appointments and medical history. Definitely recommend!
Brett
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
Ease of access to medical professionals. Great communication and response time.
Timothy
More thorough than any in-person doctor visit I've ever been to.
Nicole
Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

The provider was very professional and I felt comfortable with the video appointment setting. Also, each appointment was punctual with no wait time.
Kash
Booking an appointment was incredibly easy. I receive quality care, quickly. That's all I ever wanted!
Samson
The service and care my provider has provided for me since being a patient has been second to none! It's changed my life to be honest. Highly recommend Circle Medical!
Thomas
The appointments are easy to schedule and meetings are all virtual which is convenient with my work schedule. I was even able to schedule an appointment for Sunday which is awesome. My provider is very friendly and professional. Also very thorough. I highly recommend
Helena
My first interaction with my provider was a positive experience. He listened to my story and we had many things in common. I love having a provider that is also diagnosed with ADHD. This way we can treat my condition properly on a common ground approach. Thank you for being there for me!
Ben
Very happy with the provider and experience. He spends his time with me and asks several questions about my health history. I never have gotten this time in an in-person office setting.
Brynn
Provider was very nice, attentive, she listed to me and i am very satified.
Laura
An extremely caring company, very responsive and went above and beyond when I was in crisis. Cannot recommend them enough!! Keep up the great work.
Zayne
Exceptional Experience! From easy and convenient scheduling to a great doctor experience!
Sonya
They are quick, professional, and responsive by app. They also take my insurance — what more can I ask for?
Sharon
Very smooth and easy process to get in touch with knowledgeable doctors who care. The patient care coordinators are always quick to respond in resolving issues as well. Highly recommend!
Trent
I’ve never had any issues with the app or my provider. My provider is very thorough and pleasant to talk to. The app is well designed and never buggy. Responses are fast and easy to navigate with the care staff. Circle is a life saver for me as a trans person. I’m so thankful to have found you all!
Kymani
I found the best provider I've ever had. She cares, she listens, and she's knowledgeable. I can schedule easily and don't need to commute to an office for an appointment.
Bianca
My provider is extremely caring, she believes in always giving me her most honest and sincere feedback regardless of wether I like it or not. I look forward to seeing her every month. Circle Medical and my provider have given my life purpose, and I now understand my shortcomings not as failures but as a condition.
Cristy
Excellent customer service and support. I usually avoid the doctor's office at all costs but my provider here is really nice and pleasant. Definitely a game changer for my health! Thank you :-)
Patrick
Great doctors, great customer support, prescription is sent to my pharmacy electronically, payments are done internal (no third parties), easy and simple.
Dendra
I have struggled for years with my health issues, but always ran into barriers in getting affordable treatment. With Circle Medical, I saw a provider, received a diagnoses, and am already on treatment. All within a few days! They listen and also make getting help so easy.
Luciana
Their support has been quite helpful. Apparently certain meds are very hard to get right now but they are fighting for me. As someone with an auto immune disease, telehealth during Covid has been invaluable. I cannot risk getting sick, but must continue my mental health treatment.
April
This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical
Asia
Helpful, kind, understanding staff and medical professionals who take time to hear you! Thank you all. It’s been a game changer for me!

Current laws in the United States require a doctor’s prescription in order for a patient to participate in a sleep study.

Not at all. It is a small device that you can easily attach painlessly. The companion smartphone app includes detailed, easy to follow instructions for use, and will send the recorded data back to Circle automatically.

Your sleep results will be reviewed by a board-certified sleep specialist, who will then work closely with your Circle Medical provider to create your personalized treatment plan.
Most people find it far more comfortable to sleep in the comfort of their own bed in their own home, where your sleep patterns will much more closely match your typical sleep cycle than they would when you sleep in a clinic that is new to you. The device you will receive will also allow you to perform multiple studies, and all at a small fraction of the typical cost of an in-clinic sleep study.
General
For a detailed breakdown of what you need for your first appointment with Circle Medical, read the article below:
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
Circle Medical has in-person clinics in California and is expanding its in-person presence across the US, but you can get high quality care via telemedicine video appointments in 25 states across the US.
To see what states are currently available, please start booking an appointment and the available states will show as options for you to select.
You do not need to book your initial appointment with a doctor. You can book your appointment with any provider that we have available. Our providers all work closely together to make sure that we are providing the same excellent standard of care to all patients regardless of which provider you book your appointment with.
Circle Medical is a primary care practice, which means that the only fee due to us is the cost of the appointment itself. We accept insurance, so your plan may pay some or all of the appointment fee. Circle does not charge any ongoing membership fees to use our platform.
If you are prescribed medications, you will pay for them when you pick them up at a pharmacy.
Insured
We contract with most PPO insurance plans. If you are a California Bay Area resident, we also work with a small number of HMO plans.
To verify if we work with your insurance, simply start booking an appointment online. You will be prompted to enter your insurance details and will receive eligibility results instantly as well as an estimate of your appointment cost prior to confirming your appointment.
Some PPO plans that we currently work with are:
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, Humana, and United Healthcare.
Our insured patients pay an average of $5-$50 per appointment.
Plans that we cannot work with are:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide care for patients who have Medi-Cal or Medicaid insurance. This is because we are not licensed Medi-Cal or Medicaid providers, so we are not able to provide care, even if these patients choose to pay cash instead of use their insurance. If you have Medi-Cal or Medicaid, please do not book an appointment with us, as we will be unable to provide care even if you do not enter your insurance information.
Uninsured
We also offer a self-pay option at a flat rate of $100 per appointment.
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where your breathing stops and starts throughout the night. It can be classified into three different types, including:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnea. It happens when the muscles in your throat relax during sleep This causes blockage in your airways. This can lead to sleep interruptions and awakenings throughout the night that impact your overall sleep quality. You may not even be aware of these awakenings.
Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) happens when your brain fails to signal breathing muscles. This leads to periods during the night where breathing stops and starts.
Positional sleep apnea occurs when a person's breathing difficulties during sleep worsens when they are in certain positions, such as lying on their back (supine position), and may improve when they sleep in other positions, such as on their side (lateral position).
In previous years, you would have to go to an in-person sleep clinic to diagnose sleep apnea. You would sleep overnight at the clinic for a sleep study. This allowed a sleep specialist to monitor your sleep patterns and diagnose your sleep disorder. Fortunately, technology has advanced to allow us to conduct sleep studies at home. After connecting with an online healthcare provider like Circle Medical, you can get an at-home sleep study sent to your house. You’ll receive a simple device that monitors your sleep. This data is sent directly to your provider and you can get your diagnosis without having to leave your home. Once diagnosed with sleep apnea, your healthcare provider can determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Sleep apnea can be caused by a variety of factors, and evidence suggests that there may also be a genetic or hereditary link. If you have sleep apnea in your family history, your risk for developing the condition may be higher. However, environmental and lifestyle factors also are attributed to sleep apnea. Obesity, alcohol consumption, and smoking can all increase the risk of sleep apnea.
Snoring is one of the primary symptoms associated with sleep apnea. However, it’s not a guaranteed telltale sign. Some people may snore and not have sleep apnea. Likewise, some people with sleep apnea may not have snoring as a symptom. Sleep apnea is characterized by breathing interruptions during sleep, which may simply cause someone to wake frequently or have trouble sleeping. For instance, if someone always wakes up feeling tired or fatigued, but they don’t snore, it’s possible they may have sleep apnea.
