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.
Is The Virtual NP legit?
Yes. The Virtual NP is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.5/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a The Virtual NP promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for The Virtual NP. Its listed price is $75 a month. Coupon sites advertising "The Virtual NP discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

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 a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
7.5/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake.
Trust & Safety15%
8.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
3.1/10Serves 7 of 50 states.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with The Virtual NP involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1The Virtual NP shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask The Virtual NP which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- The Virtual NP serves 7 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.

Check the price yourself before you pay
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
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to The Virtual NP
- 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
- Serves only 7 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
What The Virtual NP charges
The Virtual NP lists $75/month.
- Brand-name tirzepatide: $75/month
- Brand-name semaglutide: $75/month
Embody, at about $79/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
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 pen has been reviewed.
Safety and disclosure
The Virtual NP tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 7 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to The Virtual NP. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether The Virtual NP bills your plan before you start.
Our read
The Virtual NP charges $75/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes.
The Bottom Line
The Virtual NP's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay The Virtual NP
Starting at $75 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where The Virtual NP is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Sesame Care (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Eden.
