Circle Medical

Circle Medical

Circle Medical prices weight management by appointment rather than by subscription, and publishes both the cash price and the average amount insured patients actually paid — a level of pricing candour almost nobody else in this directory offers.

What stands out

  • Publishes what insured patients actually paid on average ($35 per visit) rather than only a list price — the most candid pricing disclosure we found anywhere in this directory.
  • Charging the same for follow-ups as for the first appointment avoids the common pattern of a cheap intake followed by costly ongoing care.
  • Per-visit rather than subscription pricing, so cost scales with how often you are seen.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

  • Medication is a separate cost from the appointment — establish what it will run.
  • Confirm your insurance is one of the accepted plans before relying on the $35 figure.
  • Ask how many visits a year the programme typically involves.

May suit

People with accepted insurance who want primary-care-style visits without a subscription.

Limitations

  • Medication cost not published.
  • Cost depends on visit frequency rather than being capped.
