The verdict

The Virtual NP takes it — 60.8/100 to 56.9/100.

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.

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
This Gen Wellness

Graded #405 · C

Strengths

  • Requires a synchronous live audio-video visit with a New York-licensed clinician — prescriptions are never issued from the intake form alone
  • Assessment and clinician review are free; you only pay if treatment is prescribed and you choose to proceed
  • Names its legal entity (ThisGen, LLC) and specifies New York governing law in its terms
  • No long-term contracts — plans can be paused or stopped
  • The same clinician follows your care, with ongoing secure messaging between visits

Where it loses points

  • Publishes no prices at all — 'We don't list flat prices on the website'; cost is disclosed only after a clinician reviews your assessment
  • Serves New York only — 'we currently operate exclusively for patients located in New York'
  • Dispensing pharmacies are not named, only described as 'licensed U.S. pharmacies'
  • Does not state whether its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded or brand-name
  • Does not bill insurance; verifying any reimbursement is the patient's responsibility

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard
