The verdict

The Virtual NP takes it — 60.8/100 to 55/100.

The Virtual NP grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The Virtual NP is a nurse-practitioner-led telehealth weight loss clinic prescribing FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications, Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

CoverageCoverage not published7 states
Brand-name accessCompounded onlyYes
Oral / sublingualInjection onlyInjection only

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus a low-dose GLP-1 "Longevity Microdose" option, all provider-guided
  • Concierge model: dedicated provider, direct secure messaging, provider-directed dosing, and structured check-ins
  • Every plan bundles compounded medication, provider care, and discreet direct delivery with no hidden fees
  • No charge if you are not approved; published support hours (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm ET) by phone and email

Where it loses points

  • GLP-1 program pricing is not published on the site — quoted only after provider review, so cost is not comparable up front
  • Compounding pharmacy partners are not publicly named (a transparency gap for medication sourcing)
  • No brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic — compounded formulations only
  • State availability is not published; private-pay only, and the practice serves women, so it is not a fit for everyone
  • No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation displayed on the marketing site
The Virtual NP

Graded #314 · C

Strengths

  • FDA-approved branded Zepbound and Wegovy only, no compounded
  • Transparent fees: 99 visit or 75 per month membership
  • HSA/FSA accepted and prior authorization assistance offered
  • NP-led with same or next-day booking and home shipping

Where it loses points

  • Branded only, so medication cost is high and billed separately
  • Limited to seven states
  • No compounded lower-cost GLP-1 alternative
  • Single-provider practice may limit scale and hours

Also worth a look
