Question 1

What is Circle Health?

Accepted Answer

Circle Health is a membership-based primary care practice. We deliver connected, proactive healthcare focused on prevention and longevity. Circle patients have access to a dedicated care team, advanced diagnostics, and an app-enabled health platform that puts records, booking, biomarker tracking, and clinical insights in one place. Circle Health’s first location will open in downtown Toronto in Fall 2026.

Question 2

What does a Circle Health primary care membership include?

Accepted Answer

A Circle Health primary care membership includes year-round access to a dedicated care team with same-or-next-day appointment availability, comprehensive assessment using in-depth diagnostics and advanced biomarker panels, personalized preventive and longevity care plans with ongoing support, physician coaching sessions and progress visits, treatment credits toward eligible wellness services, same-day prescription delivery, and access to the Circle Health app for booking, viewing records and clinical insights, health tracking, and secure messaging between visits.

Question 3

How is Circle Health different from a walk-in clinic or family doctor?

Accepted Answer

Walk-in clinics and traditional family practices typically offer reactive care with short appointments focused on immediate symptoms and limited follow-up. Circle Health provides a continuous healthcare partnership rooted in preventative health monitoring and ongoing access to a care team that tracks your health over time. The membership model allows Circle physicians to maintain smaller patient panels, which means timely access, unrushed appointments, proactive follow-up, and a true connected care relationship—primary care as it was always intended.

Question 4

Does Circle Health replace my family doctor?

Accepted Answer

For many members, yes. Circle Health is a full-service primary care practice. Your Circle physician can serve as your primary care provider—handling everything from sick visits and routine checkups to referrals, diagnostics, and ongoing preventive care. If you already have a family doctor, Circle can work alongside them. Some members use Circle for its proactive, longevity-focused services while maintaining an existing relationship with their GP.

Question 5

Are Circle Health memberships covered by OHIP?

Accepted Answer

Circle Health memberships are not billed through OHIP. Your membership covers the Circle Health experience: your foundational assessment, ongoing access to the Circle Health app and health platform, personalized preventive and longevity care plans, physician coaching sessions and progress visits, and wellness treatment credits. Many Canadians use health spending accounts or private insurance to cover portions of their Circle Health membership fee.

Question 6

What types of medical services does Circle Health offer?

Accepted Answer

Circle Health offers a comprehensive range of primary and longevity-focused services organized around whole-person health. This includes preventive primary care, sick visits, women’s health, men’s health, medical testing and diagnostics, and focused treatment pathways for metabolic health, sexual health, menopause and perimenopause, hair and scalp health, and skin health.

Question 7

What is a founding member?

Accepted Answer

A founding member is someone who joins Circle before the clinic opens. Founding members receive priority access, founding member pricing, and early perks that won’t be available once the clinic launches publicly. Founding member spots are limited.

Question 8

When does Circle Health open?

Accepted Answer

Circle Health’s first clinic is scheduled to open in Toronto in Fall 2026. People who join the founding member waitlist will receive timeline updates and early access to membership before the clinic opens to the public.

Question 9

Where is Circle Health located?

Accepted Answer

Circle Health’s first clinic is located in Toronto’s financial district, easily accessible for downtown professionals and residents. Additional locations across Canada are planned as Circle Health expands nationally.

Question 10

How much does a Circle Health membership cost?

Accepted Answer

Circle Membership starts at $149/month for individuals and $379/month for families. Circle Pathways—focused treatment programs for specific health concerns—start at $89 per program. Limited-time Founding Member rates are available to those who join the waitlist before the clinic opens. Founding member pricing will not be available after launch.

Question 11

What is a primary care membership?

Accepted Answer

A primary care membership is a healthcare model where patients pay a recurring fee to access enhanced primary care. These practices offer services that go beyond traditional fee-for-service healthcare, such as unrushed appointments, proactive health monitoring, biomarker tracking, direct digital access to care teams, and preventive and longevity programming. In a public health system like Canada’s, membership-based primary care works alongside public insurance. Members maintain their provincial coverage while their membership fee covers services and infrastructure that aren’t included in public healthcare plans.

Question 12

What is direct primary care in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Direct primary care is a healthcare model where patients pay a recurring fee to join a care practice, rather than relying solely on insurance-based billing. In Canada, direct primary care is an emerging approach that works alongside the public healthcare system. Members maintain their provincial health coverage for routine care, hospital care, specialist referrals, and covered medical services, while their recurring fee covers enhanced services such as unrushed visits, proactive preventive care, digital health tools, and longevity programming.
