Circle Medical is an online primary care practice whose clinicians can prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1s, including the Wegovy pill and pen, Zepbound and Saxenda, at a video visit. It bills visits to most commercial insurance plans, and to Medicare in 17 states. A self-pay visit is $120 with no membership fee; the medication is billed separately by your pharmacy or your plan, and the site publishes no drug prices.
Is Circle Medical legit?
Yes. Circle Medical is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 5.6/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Circle Medical promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Circle Medical. Coupon sites advertising "Circle Medical discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Circle Medical scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Circle Medical has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10There is no monthly price to compare, so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
5.0/10No medication list or price is available to score, so this is held at the midpoint. It is not a judgment on the drugs themselves.
User Experience15%
7.5/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake.
Trust & Safety15%
8.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
7.0/10Serves 31 of 50 states and DC.
Support10%
5.0/10No published price, so what a price would include cannot be assessed. Held at the midpoint.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Circle Medical involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Circle Medical shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask Circle Medical which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Circle Medical serves 31 of 50 states and DC, so check that yours is one of them.

In its favor
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Circle Medical
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
What Circle Medical charges
There is no standard monthly price to quote for Circle Medical, so you cannot compare it with other sellers until you have been through an intake and received a quote. When you get one, ask for the ongoing monthly figure and what it includes, not the first-month rate and not a program total divided by its length. Before you pay, compare Circle Medical's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. Circle Medical is not alone in this: about a fifth of GLP-1 sellers publish no price at all.
What Circle Medical dispenses
Circle Medical prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them.
Safety and disclosure
Circle Medical tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 31 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Circle Medical. The FDA publishes seven warning signs for telehealth medicine sellers, and they take a minute to run against Circle Medical. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want to compare prices before spending time on an intake. There is no standard monthly price to compare.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Circle Medical bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Whether Circle Medical is priced well is impossible to judge before an intake, because there is no standard price to compare. That does not rule it out, and plenty of legitimate sellers quote after intake, but it puts the comparison after you have spent the time, which is the wrong order for you as the buyer. WellMedRx is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Circle Medical scores highest on disclosure and lowest on price, and it serves 31 states.
Before you pay Circle Medical
Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Circle Medical is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Embody.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Circle Medical sets more sellers in the same category beside Circle Medical on price, states and what the price includes.
