Circle Medical vs K Health
Both accept commercial insurance for primary care and both offer same-day visits. The two biggest differences are ADHD-specific prescribing (Circle Medical does; K Health does not prescribe controlled substances) and AI-augmented triage (K Health's core feature).
K Health closed its consumer telehealth platform on December 31, 2025.
K Health no longer accepts direct consumer sign-ups. Care is now delivered through K Health's health-system partners, including Cedars-Sinai (CA), Hartford Health (CT), Mayo Clinic (IA, MN, WI), Mass General Brigham (MA, NH), and Hackensack Meridian (NJ). Telehealth Guide keeps K Health in this directory for continuity, but it is not directly bookable to consumers and is not returned by Search by Symptoms or any Telehealth Guide recommendation flow.
