Does Circle Medical prescribe medications for insomnia?

Whether you are experiencing recent changes in your ability to sleep or you have been experiencing sleep issues for years, your Circle Medical provider will be able to fully assess your sleep, and create a customized treatment plan for you, which may include medication if medically appropriate.

At Circle Medical, assessing your health as a whole is our number one priority. During your sleep appointment, your provider will screen for common underlying conditions that could be affecting your sleep as well as discuss your past medical history. Your Circle Medical provider may also suggest blood work to assess for any underlying medical causes for your difficulty sleeping, which can be completed at any of our over 4,000 conveniently located partner locations.

Your provider may also want to screen you for sleep apnea and assess your sleep efficiency with an at-home sleep study that is mailed right to your door.

Rest assured that your treatment plans at Circle Medical will include an evidence-based approach that is specific to your unique medical history.

At-home Sleep Study and Screening

Participating in an at-home sleep study has never been easier. The steps are as follows:
  • You will be sent a small WESPER sleep monitoring device (two small, soft fabric patches, and a wrist mounted pulse and blood oxygen monitor)

  • The device pairs with a free app on our phone that will walk you through the easy set up process

  • Sleep (in your own bed!) and perform a two-night sleep study

  • After your sleep study is complete, return the device using an included pre-paid envelope

  • Attend a follow-up appointment with your provider to review the results and determine next steps (it generally takes 4-5 days for your provider to recieve the completed analysis based on the results of your study)

How we determine what treatment is right for you

Based on the results of your sleep study, the severity of your Sleep Apnea, and other relevant health factors, your provider will recommend one or or a combination of the following treatment options and paths:

1. Behavior Modification

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.

2. CPAP Machine or Equivalent

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 for oral appliances are also available if applicable.

3. Referral

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.

Don't take our word for it.

We are trusted by over 50,000 patients every month. Here's what they have to say.

Accessible & responsive. Person-centered care. Solution-driven providers who listen and take individual needs into account. Superb follow-through. Genuine providers/staff who want to help. Circle Medical has literally changed my life. My provider listens and offers solutions that have never been presented to me before. Because of that I have been able to achieve so much.

Madeleine

My provider is very helpful and friendly. I love the convenience of seeing her at my home. Their team is always very helpful in helping with my insurance and medications as well.

Teagan

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

The app is convenient, easy to use, and lets me schedule appointments on short notice (such as for paxlovid for COVID infection). Excellent experience, and my healthcare provider meets my needs.

Logan

The service and care that I have received has been beyond exceptional. I already have and will continue to recommend friends to Circle Medical.

Makenzie

I think you guys are just wonderful. Very professional and responsible prescribing prescribing practices. I also really like my provider; she is compassionate and personable. I think Circle Medical eases the uncomfortability and takes the stigma away regarding ADHD. Also the online support if I have any questions or concerns is remarkably efficient and so quick to respond, even on weekends and after hours. Thank you guys!

Phoebe

I get to decide my provider. Tons of appointments that are days away instead of weeks. Well-designed app. Medical/appointment notes are all in one location instead of spread around or buried. Everything got done without any bumps or pushback or bs. I've never *ever* had such a painless experience.

Kate

Absolutely perfect! Extremely professional - visits always on time and no front desk staff or traffic!!! How can you beat this?

Jordyn

My provider is so thoughtful in her questions and thoroughly listens and takes the time to come up with a plan that works for ME. There is no one-size-fits-all, and as a mother of five as well as a small business owner, this rings especially true. With Circle Medical you can expect them to take their time (but not too much! Convenience is key in 2022!) and tailor an individual plan suited perfectly for you. You can expect them to care about you as a person and not a number. I am so thankful I found Circle Medical but especially during these busy times.

Sasha

This service allowed me to be evaluated and seek a diagnosis that I had been meaning to for years, but wasn't able to manage as it was cost prohibitive. Having received a diagnosis that confirmed what I suspected has helped lead to improvements in my life, which I appreciate.

Caitlyn

Great experience! I love my provider! She listens to all my concerns. And gives wonderful advice! Very knowledgeable, kind and understanding.

Asia

At-home appointments, wonderful providers and customer service when I need to speak with my provider. Can’t recommend enough especially for a busy, full time working mom of 3!

Neveah

My provider is awesome. She is professional yet very compassionate and listens incredibly well. I always walk away feeling like I've been heard. I trust her.

Itzel

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

I recommend Circle Medical to everyone. Before it would take 6 months to make an appointment, then I'd have to take a day off work, it would take 4 hours to go through and see the doc. Between driving there, checking in, waiting in the big waiting room, then the small waiting room, seeing the MA then finally the doc, it would be a huge day-eating event. Circle Medical makes it so easy! I don't need to take a day off work, no waiting in waiting rooms, same day appointments, you can't beat it!

Rodolfo

My experience so far has been top notch really. From my provider's approachable manner and willingness to truly listen to me, to the after-hours service where I always received fast responses to my text messages, everyone has been so gracious. Circle Medical has been an important part of my new life. Thank you all so much.

Neil

I’ve used several online platforms for various medical needs over the last few years, and Circle has been the most comprehensive, as well as pairing me with an excellent provider who actually listens to my issues and concerns as well as taking into consideration what I think would work for me, and not just putting me on random medications to see what may or may not work. I felt listened to and respected, and believe my provider actually wants to help instead of just getting paid and speeding through our appointment.

Denisse

Very wonderful service has allowed me to finaly be able to get the medical help and treatment I need at my convenience. A+

Derrick

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.

Brian

Easy to schedule appointments, the chat is super responsive, and everyone I’ve talked to is friendly and helpful.

Pando

So far I've had same day or next day appointment scheduling. Questions are answered same day or next day. The patient care coordinators and the providers have given me the most respectful, professional and attentive care I have ever received. Well run organization. 5 stars.

Keegan

My provider was amazing. Very easy to talk to. The app was also really good.

Guillermo

Comfortable experience, and from my home.

Brock

The staff and the providers have been very pleasant and extremely helpful in every situation! I will recommend Circle Medical to everyone I know in need of this kind of service!

Harley

Excellent providers that truly care about their patients and listen to their concerns. Telehealth appointments are seamless.

Ashley

Circle Medical has been great. I work in the digital health space and there are so many companies with poorly designed telehealth platforms that are staffed by unreliable providers. Circle's platform is so easy to use, the providers are kind and reliable, the support is responsive.

Jace

I have been extremely happy with the entire staff, alwasy so willing to help me in any way from appointments to assistance with insurance. I have already recommended Circle Medical to my sister, who struggles with many of the same issues that I do.

Ayana

Very convenient, easy to get an appointment, provider visits have been very efficient and professional. I felt like the provider listened to my concerns and gave me the care I needed.

Ricky

It has been a good experience for me. If I have any friends or family members who are looking for ADHD help, I will recomment Circle Medical.

Reginald

Very easy to schedule an appointment and meet with a provider. My provider has been very supportive and extremely helpful without judgement!

Brent

Excellent communication with providers. Friendly, affordable and transparent care.

Charlie

I have felt heard, believed and taken care of by my provider. I am so happy with telehealth and having access to a wonderful provider through Circle Medical.

Giuliana

The app makes everything really easy and both providers I've seen so far have been wonderful. I couldn't find any doctors in my area that weren't insanely expensive so this app has been a lifesaver!

Laurie

Everything about the service and the people have been great. Always on time, nice to speak with and answer every question.

Barry

The best, most easy experience I’ve ever had! My provider has been tremendously knowledgeable and helpful.

Malia

My provider is so genuine and insightful and I truly get value from our sessions! It's extremely easy to set up, navigate and just hassle-free. No wait times, no sitting on hold with an office, no fighting traffic, and no hidden costs. I also like the responsiveness from the chat. Someone always responds and assists me with my questions like how to change pharmacies or reschedule my appointment.

Angel

My provider heard me out and helped me with my ADHD. I really appreciate how smooth it all was. Y’all are great!

Darryl

My provider is amazing! She is the first person that I felt like has listened to me and tried to help. I recommend to everyone.

Kit

Circle Medical has finally given me access to the kind of care that not only works best for me, but also cares about me.

Madden

Excellent service. Easy to navigate. Connections to professional staff that have helped me on multiple occasions.

Frequently Asked

Insomnia care

How do I know if I should see a provider for insomnia?

If you are having difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, you may benefit from meeting with a Board-Certified provider to receive a full evaluation of your sleep. 

What can I expect in my appointment?

During your appointment, your provider will conduct a full evaluation of your sleep. If you have recently experienced changes to your ability to sleep, your provider will be able to help you diagnose the underlying causes. Your provider may prescribe non controlled medications for a short period of time to help you sleep. If you are experiencing chronic, ongoing insomnia, your provider will be able to develop a custom approach to improving your sleep.

Can I receive Ambien or other prescriptions for insomnia?

You will not be able to receive Ambien or other controlled medications through our practice. In some instances, you may be prescribed non-controlled medications to help you sleep. Note that booking and paying for an appointment does not guarantee that you will receive any prescription medications, and all treatment plans are at the discretion of your provider.

How often will I meet with a provider?

You’ll be able to work with your provider to decide how often to have appointments based on your needs. Using the mobile app, you can book, cancel, and reschedule appointments with your provider as you need.

How long will it take to see results/improve my sleep habits?

Your provider will create a custom treatment plan for you based on your needs. Depending on your treatment plan and your specific underlying causes, the amount of time it takes to see results and improvements will vary.

How does the cost compare to traditional insomnia treatment?

Depending on your unique circumstances, the number of appointments that you will have may vary.

With insurance coverage, the majority of our patients pay $5-$50 per appointment, depending on their insurance plan. This makes receiving comprehensive insomnia treatment more affordable when compared to sleep programs that do not accept insurance.

Our self-pay appointments are $100 each.

General

Where are Circle Medical’s clinics located? Where can I get care?

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 30 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.

What is the total cost of treatment?

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.

Common factors that contribute to sleep problems

Sleep problems like insomnia can be attributed to a variety of factors. Some of the most common factors are medications, health conditions, lifestyle choices, and your environment. Let’s take a look at some examples:

  • Medical conditions - Medical conditions like stress, chronic pain, asthma, anxiety, depression, and more can interfere with sleep. Certain medications may further exacerbate sleep issues.
  • Lifestyle choices - Certain lifestyle choices can drastically affect sleep quality. Alcohol consumption, too much caffeine, a sedentary lifestyle, and dietary choices can all play a role in sleep quality. Irregular sleep schedules due to shift work or frequent travel can also affect sleep quality.
  • Environment - Our environment is important for sleep. Your sleep environment should be quiet, dark, and cool to prompt quality sleep.
  • Sleep latency - Sleep latency can also indicate poor sleep quality. Sleep latency is the time it takes for you to fall asleep after going to bed. The average sleep latency for normal sleep is 10 to 20 minutes. Falling asleep in a much shorter amount of time could indicate sleep deprivation.

What does insomnia look like in adults?

Insomnia is a sleep disorder commonly characterized by having trouble falling or staying asleep. If you find yourself lying awake in bed or waking up several times throughout the night, you may be dealing with insomnia. Insomnia also bleeds into your daytime activities, as your night of poor quality sleep can lead to fatigue, irritability, and drowsiness throughout the day.

How to get tested and diagnosed online

Chronic insomnia can have serious mental and physical health implications. It’s important to seek a diagnosis and treatment if you suspect you have a sleep disorder. Fortunately, getting a sleep diagnosis is easier than ever thanks to online healthcare. 

If you want to get tested for a sleep disorder online, the first step is to find an online care clinic like Circle Medical. A healthcare provider at your online care clinic will discuss your symptoms and the troubles you’ve been having with sleep. From there, they can send you an at-home sleep study. These are noninvasive and convenient devices that allow your provider to get metrics about your sleep without you needing to go to an in-person sleep clinic. From this data, they can diagnose your sleep disorder and start you on a treatment plan.

How to fall asleep with insomnia

Falling asleep with insomnia can be difficult, but here are some strategies you can try to get a quality night's sleep:

  • Follow a consistent sleep routine - Try waking up and going to bed at the same time each night, even on weekends. This helps your body set its internal clock.
  • Have a good sleep environment - Make your room quiet, dark, and cool to create the ideal sleep environment.
  • Avoid stimulants and food before bed - Stimulants like coffee and nicotine or a large meal before bed can disrupt your sleep schedule.
  • Exercise - Exercising during the day can help you get a better night’s sleep.

Relaxing activities - Try setting a bedtime routine and engage in some relaxing activities to wind down for the night.
