Positive change starts with just one appointment.
Anxiety and depression symptoms are common experiences among tens of millions
of Americans, affecting upwards of 40 million people each year. In fact,
according to the ADAA and the NAMI, more than 1 in 4 adults in the US will
experience a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. Despite this,
close to 2/3 of sufferers don't receive treatment.
Often these conditions can be the temporary result of significant life events,
as side effects of other medical conditions, or even brought on by seasonal changes.
The good news is that these disorders can be treated, and their symptoms managed
in any of these cases.
Your journey with your provider will start with getting a compassionate, accurate
diagnosis, which can be done in as little as 1-2 sessions, all from the privacy
of your own home.
Once your provider has worked with you to come to an accurate diagnosis, you will
discuss treatment options and develop a personalized treatment plan that will enable
you to effectively manage your symptoms.
We hope to speak with you soon and help you on your journey in health.

Book AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
Anxiety / Depression Treatment
Can I get diagnosed with anxiety or depression through Circle?
If you are diagnosed by one of our providers, we are able to provide ongoing healthcare in the form of regular check-ins, assessments, therapy referrals, and evidence-based prescription management if appropriate.
Please note that booking and paying for a video appointment with one of our Circle Medical providers does not guarantee a diagnosis, or a specific medication.
A full medical assessment takes into account the patient's full health summary, evidence-based diagnostic tools, and other safety factors. Treatment is up to the provider's discretion. We encourage you to read through this entire FAQ for additional details.
Who is a good fit for anxiety and/or depression medication management through Circle?
Circle Medical is a primary care practice, which means that we are not able to treat more complex mental health conditions/medication, such as:
- History of psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder
- You are currently taking, or seeking a prescription for, Benzodiazepines, opiate pain medication, or controlled substance sleep aids
To find out more about Circle Medical's scope of care for mental health, you can read more in this article: Mental Health and Care Eligibility.
What states do you operate in?
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.
Providers
Am I seeing a psychiatrist through Circle?
More complex mental health cases may require a psychiatrist to diagnose/treat. We encourage you to please read through this entire FAQ section for additional information.
Do I need to book my appointment with a doctor (MD or DO), or can I book my appointment with any provider (PA-C, NP, etc)?
How long are the appointments?
Billing
What is the total cost of anxiety and/or depression diagnosis and treatment?
$5 - $50 average copay* per appointment
*Note: Your specific copay is dependent on your health insurance coverage. We typically see patients with copays of around $0-$50 per appointment, but this can be higher if you have a high-deductible plan and have not yet hit your deductible this year. To confirm your specific copay estimate, you can click to book an appointment and you will be asked to input your insurance information so that you can receive your cost estimate before confirming the appointment.
Our ability to estimate your costs is dependent on your healthcare insurance's database, so we do not guarantee that the estimate you see is the exact amount you will be billed. For the most accurate estimate of your per-appointment costs, we recommend calling the phone number on the back of your insurance card to ask your insurance plan what your primary care appointment costs are.
Uninsured
$120 per appointment
Insurance
What insurance do you accept?
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.
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.

Circle Medical providers are able to prescribe many different evidence-based treatment options to manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression, including SSRIs.
Common SSRIs include Sertraline (Zoloft), Fluoxetine (Prozac), Escitalopram (Lexapro), Paroxetine (Paxil), and Citalopram (Celexa).Circle Medical providers do NOT prescribe chronic daily Benzodiazepines. Intermittent, as needed, Benzodiazepines like Lorazepam (Ativan) or Clonazepam (Klonopin) are up to the Circle Medical providers discretion and only prescribed if appropriate and in accordance with Circle Medicals policies.
You may have a 2-week follow-up if you are on a new dosage or treatment plan. Once your treatment plan is stable, you may have 1 month follow ups with your provider to monitor treatment.
