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

Love the ease of being able to take appointments from anywhere without planning the whole day around it.
Kenley
Convenient, effective, and efficient heath care provider. It’s the modern way to get heath care.
Bill
I feel so much better!! I am so grateful for Circle Medical. Thank you all for listening to me and getting me the help I needed!
Makaila
I was able to find a provider to help me with my needs within 24 hours. Even though I’ve been trying to find a doctor locally, I was unable to receive help for months until I stumbled on Circle Medical. They were helpful and nice.
Jorge
No matter where I live or move to with my job, I can see my provider on Circle Medical. I’ve been using Circle for over a year and absolutely love them.
Jamarion
I have already recommended it to my sister who suffers many of the same things I do, mostly for the incredibly stress-free telehealth appointments as in person visits cause me anxiety and are harder to get to with my schedule.
Anika
This is the first practice in over a decade where I actually felt heard. Advocating for yourself can be hard when you’ve had other practitioners who are dismissive and condescending. This practice is the complete opposite and a much needed breath of fresh air.
Natalie
Didn’t feel like my last doctor's appointments. My provider felt genuinely compassionate about helping me manage my life obstacles with my ADHD. Was skeptical at first but so glad I made the decision. Super affordable for the quality of care.
Justin
Easy to schedule and the providers are very kind and helpful and knowledgeable.
Geoff
My provider is so sweet and helpful and listens, and any time I have an issue I can send a message and within the day someone with respond with help. Very happy with this app.
Giancarlo
You guys have been so helpful in getting my meds and I love having the accessibility of talking to someone to help me with other questions that I may have. I actually have referred one of my friends to this service. It has helped me immensely.
Taliyah
This app met me on my level for my neurodivergent needs, didn't keep me waiting, and has really kind and professional medical staff.

Simple and easy. My PCP is absolutely amazing, super helpful, kind and understanding. It was also very affordable and convenient.
Lee
Circle Medical is the future of primary care! I have had great experiences with all of the providers I have seen, and I appreciate the convenience of attending appointments with the app. It is confidence-inspiring to be able to talk about sensitive medical issues from home or anywhere else. Love the speed and ease of booking appointments.
Jordon
I absolutely love Circle Medical and my provider! The process is so easy and seamless and she’s just the best, most empathetic caregiver! I have referred so many people to Circle Medical!
Dulce
Very easy to schedule appointments, communication and doctors notes are the best I’ve ever experienced. My provider is very easy to talk to.
Darien
It's easy to schedule an appointment. My practitioner is helpful, dedicated & tenacious in her pursuit to help me manage my condition.
Carina
It's easy to book an appointment, the physicians are nice and the customer service is great.
Ezra
It’s just easy for a working mom in between calls when I have about 20 mins or so to actually care for myself and my health right from home.
Jess
Easy to schedule appts, easy to use the app, got the care I needed quickly, friendly providers, quality care.
Indigo
The turnaround time to get an appointment and see a provider was so quick and easy; everything is setup with the neurodivergent brain in mind from the way the app is designed to appointment reminders and calendar syncing. My provider made me feel heard and she kept our appointment focused on the task at hand (so important for adhd minds!)
Jenna
Circle Medical made accessing care easy. Sometimes it is hard to reach out for help and Circle Medical made it easy for find a remote provider while I look for a provider in my area. From the beginning I felt respected, listened to, and cared for.
Jordin
The attention my provider has for me as a patient. Not just the generic questions but rephrasing them in to something that is specific to me and I can understand.
Kimberley
Best and easiest onboarding to start out and schedule. The provider was so amazing and the best I have had. Asked questions others have not. Customer service via chat was great as well. Fast and efficient. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Cassidy
Your app is the best I’ve used, and I design apps for a living. I absolutely love my provider. She’s so kind and caring and very easy to talk to.
Barbara
My provider was very understanding, professional, friendly, and thorough. So convenient. Definitely recommend.
Blake
I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, always so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already suggested Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.
Rhianna
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.
Makayla
I have a great working relationship with my provider. It is really easy to get care, and feel cared for even in a virtual meeting.
Cardi
I love my provider and the app. This all made it really easy to take care of myself and my body again. I also love that every provider is LGBTQ affirming and it makes a big difference.
Patricia
My provider was excellent - empathetic, resourceful, and intelligent. I'm grateful I was able to connect with her through Circle Medical.
Marvin
Very understanding and eager to help with you mental and physical wellbeing.
Kay
My provider is attentive, thorough, and always focused what is right for me. I never feel rushed and I always feel heard. And it is easy to make an appointment
Joy
Appointment availability. I cannot get an in-person appointment in my city for 6 weeks. This app allowed me to connect with a medical professional the next day. (Same-day was available as well.) And professionalism. I felt that in my two appointments I was treated with respect, not judged, and I was able to express my issues and thoughts to someone who was actually listening.
Craig
It is so convenient to be able to get medical care from home via the telehealth system. I really appreciate the availability of providers and seamless integration of care within the app. My first appointments with my provider were also really pleasant, she was thoughtful and listened and it didn't have the same rushed and sterile feel that so often you get in a standard medical office environment. So far I am very happy and have already recommended it to friends.
Bradyn
It works, is easy to use, I think the app is very good. I appreciated the several reminders for my first phone call, and I felt that my provider was very professional. She explains things well, and I feel cared for.
Katie
Great service. Professional providers. Never had an issue with billing or scheduling. Communication through the app has improved and availability has increased significantly. I’m seeing a massive improvement in my well-being and daily life thanks to their services and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks Circle Medical!
Dennis
I have tried multiple telehealth options and I have found Circle Medical to be the best one for me. The providers are attentive, informative and don't make you feel rushed. Thank you Circle Medical for helping me to get my mental health back on track.

Current laws in the United States require a doctor’s prescription in order for a patient to participate in a sleep study.
Current laws in the United States require a doctor’s prescription in order to obtain a CPAP device.
You will be sent a pre-paid, pre-addressed envelope along with the device. Once you have completed your at-home sleep study, simply place the device in the provided envelope and put it in the mail. That's it!
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.
No, the device will be sent to you, and will arrive in 7-10 business days following your provider’s recommendation for a Sleep Study.

Once you have completed your at-home sleep study, simply place the device in the provided envelope and put it in the mail. That's it!
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.
