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.

    The provider made appointments comfortable to talk and discuss my problems. It is easy to schedule and have access to messaging. Very affordable compared to others I have looked into.

    Nicole

  • Quote

    This service is incredibly convenient and the appointment availability is wonderful. If I have an issue a PCC responds to my messages very quickly and the providers (if needed) do as well. I cannot think of a single thing that would make this a better experience for me!

    Gina

  • Quote

    My experience with Circle has been great. The first, and my current provider is very caring and understanding. From my first appointment until now I was able to talk to her without feeling like my words were falling on deaf ears. I've already recommended Circle to my friend and I would recommend that anyone who needs any help shouldn't hesitate and make the right choice. It's nice to be able to say that!

    Adison

  • Quote

    I referred a friend just yesterday. The reason why is I went through 5 other similar companies before I found this one that checks every box plus extra credit.

    Rayan

  • Quote

    I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and complete my diagnosis and prescription within the same week. My provider was caring, communicated clearly, and willing to answer questions.

    Manny

  • Quote

    Because you are the only place that's decent with helping transgender people and getting them started on their journey. I highly recommend it.

    Keira

    I've seen three different providers, both in Florida and now in Massachusetts (we moved), and I have been very pleased with their professionalism, knowledge and compassion.

    Joelle

    Barry

  • Quote

    Convenient, effective, and efficient health care provider. It's the modern way to get health care.

    Bill

  • Quote

    As far as I'm concerned, this is the future of healthcare. I've transitioned all of my primary care to Circle Medical as well as my ADHD management. I'm amazed at the weekend and off-hour options, which are a lifesaver for a busy professional like myself. I recommend this service to anyone who is looking to get a PCP or evaluated for ADHD. Your customer service is top-notch and I've never had an issue with insurance or my prescriptions. I'm so glad I found your company!

    Lenny

  • Quote

    I felt like someone was finally listening and validating me. Other doctors treated me like I was seeking drugs and I couldn't possibly have the problems or that they aren't that bad and it's my fault. Thank you so much for listening and asking me question and letting me answer.

    Dominique

  • Quote

    This was my first experience using something like this and the entire process was very helpful. The staff responded promptly when I had questions and I absolutely love my provider. I was very nervous about the process but she made me feel comfortable and helped me feel like I wasn't alone. I am so happy I found Circle Medical.

    Alden

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    Circle Medical has provided a convenient, safe, trusted, and confidential medium for health care. I have recommended this service to various family and friends and will continue to do so.

    My provider is the best! And Circle Medical is very convenient. I was neglecting my health before I knew about Circle because I never felt like going to the doctors, but Circle has changed my life!

    Sonny

  • Quote

    It was easy to use. The provider was extremely attentive, and actually listened. Coming from a primary care office that had terrible client service, Circle Medical was really a breath of fresh air. Thank you to this team for helping me get the treatment I need.

    Malik

    It is so difficult to access mental health care services right now especially for ADHD, so far I have received immediate and responsive care that has already improved my quality of life, thank you.

    Eric

  • Quote

    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

    Circle Medical made accessing care easy. Sometimes it is hard to reach out for help, and Circle Medical made it easy for me to find a remote provider. From the beginning I felt respected, listened to, and cared for.

    Easy, fast booking, respectful treatment, great documentation and communication. My provider listens to me, takes my input into account and treats me like an equal, not like an annoyance. Can't recommend enough, A+++++.

    Tommy

  • Quote

    I recommend Circle Medical because there's no other app that actually just goes straight to the point in helping your needs; that being needing ADHD diagnosis or anything else that has to do with your physical and mental health. There are no complications with speaking with the Circle Medical Team let alone any problems period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anxiety / Depression Treatment

Can I get diagnosed with anxiety or depression through Circle?

Yes, our Circle Medical providers are able to provide a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis of mild to moderate anxiety or depression.

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?

Our goal, as a primary care practice, is to make mental health more accessible and integrated with primary care. However, primary care has its limitations and this means that there may be instances where it is recommended that you see a specialist, or psychiatrist, for your care.

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?

To see a list of states, please start booking an appointment. You will be able to select from all of the lists where we are currently practicing.

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?

Our providers are board-certified providers (MD's/DO's/NP's/PA's) who are able to provide a full scope of primary care services, including mental health, at Circle Medical. We do not have psychiatrists on our platform, however, our Circle Medical providers are able to provide a wide range of mental health care services in a primary care setting to provide access to life-changing care to our patients.

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)?

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.

How long are the appointments?

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

Billing

What is the total cost of anxiety and/or depression diagnosis and treatment?

Insured
$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?

For non-therapy appointments:

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.

Do new patients need to prepare anything for their first appointment at Circle Medical?

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

What do I need to do before for my first appointment? Do I need to submit medical records anywhere?

If you've been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression before and have your diagnosis paperwork available, you can email it to [email protected]. Be sure to use the same email address that you used to sign up when booking your appointment.

Note: This step is optional. After your first visit, we will facilitate getting your medical records from your previous provider.

What happens after I am prescribed?

After your assessment is complete, if you are started on medication management, we will coordinate sending the prescription to your preferred pharmacy.

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.

If you have questions, please feel free to chat with your Circle Medical care team via our secure app.

Can I get diagnosed in my first appointment? How long does it take to have a complete diagnosis?

It can take 1-2 appointments for a complete anxiety and/or depression assessment to take place and for a possible diagnosis to be made.
