In your initial appointment, your provider will do a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, and may order blood work or imaging to confirm or rule out any conditions that may be contributing to your Heartburn or Acid Reflux symptoms.
During the second appointment, your provider will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that is tailored exclusively for you, which may include dietary changes and prescribed medications if determined to be medically appropriate.
After you start your treatment plan, you will have regular video check-ins with your provider to ensure the plan is working to help you effectively manage your symptoms, and that your lifestyle continues to improve. Speak to a provider today to get started!

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.
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.

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

I feel like even though it’s virtual that my clinician connected with me. She is very knowledgeable and asks many questions to make sure the medicine I am taking is appropriate for me. I met another provider there when my chosen one wasn’t available and she made me feel the same way. I can trust both of these clinicians.
Shamar
Circle Medical has been so amazing with me from the provider to customer service. They really do care about my concerns. It has been so easy and simple.

Sonny
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
I love not having to wait before my appointment begins in the lobby and not having to drive there also saves time. It was also great when I had COVID, as I did not have to expose anyone and still could get medical help. I also got life changing diagnosis of ADHD through Circle Medical. I LOVE MY PROVIDER, she is amazing!

Riri
Friendly staff. Compassion for ailment, quick response and open schedules. Very knowledgeable team!

My provider is just great. She has true concern for her patients. She listens and tries to understand my needs while providing educated suggestion to help me in my development. She shows that she has a heart!
Ginger
I felt listened to! I’ve met with medical professionals in the past who dismissed my complaints, but my provider actively listened to me and addressed my issues.
Evangeline
My provider has been BEYOND helpful, kind and compassionate. I never thought I would be so comfortable using an app for my medical needs, but I’m so glad I gave Circle Medical a chance!

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’ve been through a few online doctors and psychiatrists and Circle has provided the most professional providers I’ve encountered. They truly care about their patients. The app is also easily navigated and has multiple options of care!
Ashlynn
I love my doctor, she is so helpful, listens to me and we both come to an agreement which is incredible. I have found in my own experience and hearing others that so many doctors don't work with their patients and my doctor does. The app is also super easy to use and every time I have had a problem I get an answer right away. Thank you!
Megan
I’ve come to my provider with 3 different issues and so far she’s been very receptive to all 3. The assistants are very fast to respond by chat in the app to any medication questions, billing questions and scheduling questions I’ve had. I adore not having to drag my kids to the babysitters to go to my PCP for every little issue. I’ve been able to get my needs met quickly and efficiently with Circle Medical and to be honest, I was super skeptical when I started. I thought there was no way it would be easy, but I honestly has been.
Allie
The convenience. I don’t have to miss or take off of work. They have available times that work around everything. The staff is always friendly and professional. I wish a lot more doctors did this.
Angel
Circle Medical has been a life saver! The ability to use insurance is key, as well as the availability and variety of providers. I found an AMAZING primary provider that is hands-down the best I've ever had. Plus, the convenience of video visits is fantastic!! I love Circle Medical!

Giancarlo
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
Loooove my provider, she's so easy to talk to and it feels like she really cares and wants to help improve my life.

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.

Asia
Because anytime I have had any issues the chat has gone far and beyond the expectations for customer service. The provider is always pleasant for me to talk to about what is going on. Circle Medical has also done just an amazing job of being easy to use.

It’s nice to have flexibility. The provider was very good and I felt like I was getting excellent care and didn’t need to stress out about taking time off work to get it.
Kael
Great providers, amazing availability, and fast/friendly customer service all from the comfort of my own home.

It’s very easy to use, I can get same day appointments, my insurance covers it, providers are great and even though appointments are short they are effective at getting right to the point and listen to concerns and ideas of the patient.

We put patients first in every decision we make, and follow clinical guidelines based on evidence-based medicine to ensure patients get the most effective care possible.
If you experience heartburn or acid reflux, following these tips may help to manage your symptoms:
Avoid trigger foods and drinks — Certain foods and drinks can exacerbate the symptoms of GERD. These may include spicy foods, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol and any foods with high acidity. Take note of your trigger foods and make sure to avoid them whenever possible.
Eat smaller meals and chew thoroughly — Large meals can sometimes cause acid reflux or heartburn symptoms. Eating smaller meals and chewing your food thoroughly will help your digestion and reduce the risk of symptoms.
Avoid meals before bed — Lying down right after eating makes it easier for stomach acid to flow back through the esophagus. Giving your body ample time to digest will help reduce your symptoms at night.
Raise the head of your bed — Try to elevate the head of your bed by six to nine inches to help reduce acid reflux and heartburn symptoms. Gravity can help to keep the acid down.
Maintain a healthy weight — Excess weight can put pressure on your abdomen and increase the likelihood of acid reflux.
Quit smoking — Smoking can have a myriad of negative health effects, including the weakening of your lower esophageal sphincter.
Manage stress — Stress can sometimes worsen the symptoms of acid reflux. Try relaxing activities to manage stress. You can double down by making some calming tea with ingredients like ginger or peppermint that help to soothe the stomach.
Avoid tight clothing — Tight-fitting clothing can put pressure on your abdomen and increase the risk of acid reflux.
Sleep on your left side — Sleeping on your left can sometimes help reduce acid reflux symptoms. Try sleeping on your left side if you usually sleep a different way.
