About Circle Care

A Quarter Century of Guiding Families

Since 2000, families across Latin America have trusted us with the decisions that matter most — their health, and the protection of the people they love.

Our Story

Boutique by Design

Circle Care was built on a simple conviction: families facing serious medical decisions deserve a trusted advisor — not a call center, and not a broker who disappears after the sale.

For more than 25 years we have remained deliberately boutique. Our clients are business owners, executives, family offices, and multi-generational families across Latin America who require privacy, efficiency, and confidence in critical medical decisions. Each one works with a team that knows their family, their history, and their policies personally.

We are an active partner in the patient's journey — one firm, one relationship, covering the full circle of care: prevention, world-class treatment, and financial protection.

Why Families Choose Us

What Makes Circle Care Different

One Integrated Model

Insurance, health advisory, and case navigation under one roof — a single point of contact for your family's entire healthcare journey.

Not a Traditional Broker

We are an active partner in the patient's medical journey — translating, researching, coordinating, and advocating at every step.

Rigorous Doctor Vetting

Deep research into qualifications, sub-specialties, and malpractice history — and always 2–3 options, so the choice is yours.

A Bilingual Bridge

Spanish-speaking families, English-speaking hospitals — we have spent decades making that bridge seamless in both directions.

Privacy First

HIPAA-compliant systems, full case traceability, and the discretion that high-net-worth families rightly expect.

There When It Matters

Same-day response on inquiries and pre-authorizations, and immediate escalation for urgent medical cases. Always.

Leadership & Team

The People Behind the Care

George Plihal

Day-to-day service operations, coordination, and quality control — making sure every commitment we make to a family is kept.

Our Structure

Two Companies, One Standard

Circle Care Assurance LLC — our United States division, based in Palmetto Bay, Florida — provides health advisory, U.S. hospital navigation, and international insurance placement.

Opciones en Seguros S.A. — our locally licensed division in Guatemala — provides local health and life insurance, family protection strategies, and corporate employee benefits.

Together they form a single circle of care around your family — international reach with local accountability.
