Strep. Tonsillitis. Sore Throat.
Oh My.

Strep Throat is a painful and potentially serious condition caused by a specific type of bacteria. It is generally spread by sharing food, drinks, or by contact with saliva from an infected individual.

Circle Medical providers can evaluate strep throat symptoms over video and assist in treating sore throats caused by strep or other causes. Viruses cause most throat infections. A throat infection caused by a virus or a bacteria generally will self-resolve in 7 days and does not need any antibiotics. However, a rare but severe complication can arise from having contracted Strep throat.

Meet with a doctor to determine your risks and review if symptomatic support is appropriate or if an antibiotic is needed.

Bill

The provider I have is amazing. She listens and can relate, has been there for anything I need.

Provider is amazing and so are the staff coordinators.

I love how well-informed and empathetic my PCP is. It has been the best psychiatric provider experience I have had thus far in my life, I trust her so much more than my previous providers.

Jan

Circle Medical is super convenient, respectful of your time, and far superior to long waits and far off scheduling with in-person doctors. I am super glad I discovered this.

Devin

Circle Medical has helped me find a doctor that I am comfortable with, and otherwise wouldn't be able to have as my primary care physician becasue of where I live. It also has helped me get help with my ADHD.

Mary

Because the doctors are very professional and also they have compassion unlike others in the past

Jared

Extremely responsive to concerns, rapid response to customer service issues.

Penny

I love the convenience and ease of scheduling appointments. The providers I have interacted with have been great! They really care about their patients.

Barbara

Access and personal connection. The three providers I interacted with seem to have gone out of their way to make things easy for me. It was a seamless experience from assessment/consultation, labs, and medications; it all just worked. As an NP I now know I want to work for an organization like Circle.

Mike

My provider has been amazing, its quick, easy and you're not waiting months for appointments!

Professional and courteous healthcare providers, really provide strategies and courses of action to improve health besides just prescriptions. Easy to access and communicate with provider, user interface easy to navigate. Questions answered in timely manner through chat features.

The app is easy to navigate and book appointments. Also being able to reschedule is great for someone like myself who works on call and has a difficult time keeping appointments.

My provider is honestly the best I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Her “bedside manner” and the amount of care and concern she has for her patients (and patients as real humans, not just numbers) is beyond compare.

They really understood and quickly diagnosed me and got me the treatment I needed, thanks guys!

Jules

My provider is amazing. So trauma-informed and willing to listen. She was able to support me in ways so many others doctors had not over the years simply by listening to my concerns and all the ways I had tried to treat my condition on my own. This practice is excellent and I'm so grateful to have found them. I highly recommend Circle Medical.

Michelle

This was super easy to use and understand I could do this in the comfort of my own home. I am very happy with the change that is coming in my life because of Circle Medical.

Joining Circle Medical has saved my life. I was so lost and didn't know why or what was wrong with me. I took a chance and downloaded the app, and had an appointment in the comfort of my own home within a week. I'm now getting the help I always needed and it has been a game changer.

Frequently Asked

Appointments

What can I expect during my appointment?

During your appointment, your provider will conduct a full evaluation of your symptoms and may perscribe medications or treatments as needed, which will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice the same day. If necessary, the provider may refer you out to a local lab for testing, or to a pulmonary specialist.

Can my Strep Throat, Tonsillitis, or sore throat be assessed and treated via a video appointment from home?

Yes. Circle Medical providers are board certified primary care providers who specialize in diagnosing and treating Strep Throat, Tonsillitis, and other medical conditions from the comfort of your own home.

Do I need to go to urgent care to treat my Strep Throat symptoms?

At Circle Medical, all of your visits can be performed from the comfort of your own home. No driving to an in person clinic, experiencing long wait times, risking exposure from other sick patients, and not knowing the provider that is going to treat you. If you are already a Circle Medical patient, you can be seen by your current Circle Medical provider for Strep Throat diagnosis and treatments.

If your provider determines that you are suffering from a severe case of Strep Throat and require acute treatment, they may recommend you visit an Urgent Care center.

How soon will I receive my prescriptions?

Your provider will send your prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy the same day as your visit.

Can Circle Medical providers provide treatment for other medical problems besides Strep Throat and Tonsillitis?

Yes. At Circle Medical, all of our healthcare providers are board-certified primary care providers who can treat a wide array of health conditions.

Is my provider able to refer me to a specialist if it is needed?

Yes. Your provider can assist you in the treatment of your medical conditions as well as order imaging or referrals as needed.

General

What if I need in-person testing or examinations?

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.

What states do you operate in?

To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.

You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.

How long are the appointments?

The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.

Billing

How do I know how much my specific appointment will cost?

We provide a cost estimate when you are booking your appointment. For those with insurance, your actual cost is determined after we submit the insurance claim for your appointment. Once we submit the claim, insurance companies will pay for a portion of the appointment and pass on any remaining cost to you. Once we know what this cost is, we will update you with an invoice within the app.

When do I get charged for my appointment?

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

What insurance do you accept?

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.

What if I am having issues verifying my insurance plan coverage?

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.

What is the total cost of diagnosis and treatment?

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.
