Pros

  • ✓It bills your insurance instead of asking you to forget insurance exists. Circle Medical states it is in-network with most commercial plans
  • ✓Publishes a real out-of-pocket figure rather than a marketing one: patients with accepted insurance paid an average of $35 per appointment over the previous six months
  • ✓FDA-approved medication only - Wegovy, Zepbound and non-GLP-1 options such as Contrave when appropriate. No compounded product
  • ✓No membership and no hidden fees, which is rare among insurance-accepting telehealth services
  • ✓This is a full primary-care practice, so weight management sits inside ongoing medical care rather than being a standalone drug subscription
  • ✓Clear, conventional eligibility criteria published up front: BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea, or BMI 30+ without one
  • ✓A mobile app with regular provider check-ins
  • ✓Honest about supply and coverage: the site warns these treatments have significant stock issues and are not always covered
  • ✓Insurance verification is built into the booking flow, so you find out where you stand before the appointment

Cons

  • ✗Your cost is whatever your plan says it is. $35 is an average, not a price - deductibles and exclusions can leave you paying far more
  • ✗The medication itself is a separate cost from the visit, and coverage for weight-loss drugs is the single most commonly denied benefit in this category
  • ✗You must live in the state you are treated in and have your primary pharmacy in that same state, which rules out anyone splitting time between states
  • ✗The full list of available states is not published - you have to start booking an appointment to see it
  • ✗You may be booked with any available provider (MD, DO, PA-C or NP) rather than choosing one
  • ✗If your insurance denies weight-loss coverage, there is no cash-pay compounded fallback here
