Overview

Circle Medical approaches GLP-1s as primary care rather than as a weight-loss product, and its pricing reflects that. It accepts over 1,500 insurance plans including many major PPOs, with average out-of-pocket cost of $0–$35 per appointment, or $120 self-pay for both first and follow-up visits. There are no memberships or other fees — unusual in this category — and you are not charged until after your appointment is complete, which removes the pay-before-you-are-seen risk several competitors carry. It lists both GLP-1s and oral GLP-1s with same and next-day availability. The trade-off is specificity: Circle Medical does not name which medications it prescribes, nor publish pharmacy details or a state list.
