Two ways to pay: 99 dollars once, as you go, or 75 dollars per month for a membership carrying prescription access. Either way the drug is billed on its own, at a cost stated upfront. No compounded GLP-1 is sold. What gets written is branded and FDA-approved, made by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk: Zepbound (tirzepatide), Wegovy (semaglutide). HSA/FSA funds are taken and the clinic will help with prior authorization. Sandra Jordan, MSN, APRN, FNP-C founded and runs it, booking most patients inside 24 hours, with medication sent home.

How The Virtual NP scores

Six columns, each one computed from something The Virtual NP has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

3.0/10

The figures published here are not comparable monthly cash prices for the medication — an insured copay, a per-vial rate, a membership fee or a starting-dose teaser. Capped rather than scored against the register.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

7.5/10

On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts; a live video visit is required, which is slower but is the more careful intake.

Trust & Safety15%

8.5/10

does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is high.

Accessibility10%

3.1/10

Publishes coverage in 7 of 50 states.

Support10%

5.0/10

States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

What we checked on The Virtual NP

Last checked August 2026
  • Re-read the price on file across 2 dose or plan tiers

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below. Editorial confidence in this data: high.

What signing up with The Virtual NP involves

Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.

  1. 1The Virtual NP publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
  2. 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician, which is more than most of the register asks and slower to complete.
  3. 3The Virtual NP does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
Price shown before you startLive video visit required
  • No comparable monthly cash price for the medication is on record — either nothing is published, or what is published is a fee, an insured copay or a per-vial rate rather than a monthly cost.
  • Coverage is published for 7 of 50 states.

Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.

Every figure here was read off The Virtual NP's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.

In its favor

  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
  • A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

Against it

  • Coverage is published for 7 states only, so this may not reach you
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here

What The Virtual NP charges

The Virtual NP lists $75/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we track.

  • Brand-name tirzepatide — $75/month
  • Brand-name semaglutide — $75/month

Across the GLP-1 providers in our register the median standing price is about $169/month, so The Virtual NP is genuinely under the middle rather than merely advertising that it is.

Boston Medical Group dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $66/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.

What The Virtual NP dispenses

The Virtual NP prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. These are FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded preparations, which is the more expensive route and the one where what is in the vial has been reviewed.

What we could verify

On the record: it operates in 7 states. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.

It fits if

  • the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for

Our read

The Virtual NP competes on price and does it without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $75/month, no warning letter on file, and access that is not unusually restricted.

The Bottom Line

The Virtual NP's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.

Where The Virtual NP is the wrong choice

No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Oak.
  • If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Direct Meds.
