SkinnyVIP is a veteran-owned Miami medical practice selling clinician-prescribed compounded tirzepatide at $695 per three-month plan, about $232 a month at any dose, with no subscription attached.
Overview
SkinnyVIP positions itself against the venture-backed telehealth model rather than alongside it. It describes itself as a Miami-based medical practice founded by a US military veteran with a women-led operations team, states that it answers its own messages and writes its own policies, and builds its commercial pitch entirely around what it does not charge: no membership, no contract, no minimum commitment and no auto-billing.
The pricing follows from that. A three-month plan is $695, working out at about $232 a month, and covers any dose from 2.5mg through 15mg weekly. A single month is $350 for patients who want to try the service or are transferring from another provider. Three single months would cost $1,050, so the three-month plan saves $355. Because nothing auto-renews, SkinnyVIP notes there is nothing to cancel: you simply stop.
It also publishes a competitor comparison table with a dated verification note, comparing its $232 effective rate against Henry Meds at $449 and above, Mochi at $278 plus a $79 monthly membership, and brand-name Zepbound via Ro Body at $473 to $598 with membership. It correctly notes that Hims and Ro have both discontinued compounded tirzepatide.

Brand-Name or Compounded?
Compounded only. SkinnyVIP states that compounded medications are not FDA-approved, that the FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing, and that compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide are separate products from branded Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic and Wegovy. It also cites SURMOUNT-5 correctly as trial evidence for the branded molecules rather than for its own preparation.
Consultation Process
Complete the medical intake
You share medical history, current medications and weight-management goals through a secure online intake form. It takes about five minutes.
Clinician review in your state
A clinician licensed in your state reviews the intake, as either an asynchronous review or a synchronous video visit depending on state requirements.
Pay only if prescribed
SkinnyVIP states you only pay if a clinician approves treatment, and offers a full refund if you are not prescribed.
Delivery in 5 to 10 days
Medication ships to your home with all supplies and expedited shipping included in the price.
Eligibility
- Adults completing the SkinnyVIP intake, in all 50 states
- Clinician-reviewed rather than automated: every prescription reviewed by a licensed clinician
- Consultation format depends on your state's telehealth requirements
- Full refund if a clinician does not prescribe treatment
- Specific BMI thresholds are not published
- Standard GLP-1 contraindications apply as assessed by the clinician
Provider Involvement and Lab Requirements
Provider Involvement
SkinnyVIP describes itself as physician-led, stating that every prescription is reviewed by a licensed clinician with no algorithms and no autopilot. Follow-up care, dose adjustments and direct messaging with your clinician are all listed as included in the plan price rather than billed separately. As a small practice, the trade-off is scale rather than access.
Lab Requirements
No lab requirement is published. Ask during your consultation what bloodwork the clinician wants to see, particularly if you are starting tirzepatide for the first time or have not had recent metabolic testing.
Pharmacy Fulfillment and Shipping
Pharmacy Fulfillment
Described but not named. SkinnyVIP states that medication is prepared at a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy with quality testing, under physician supervision. That is one step short of the named-pharmacy disclosure that a handful of competitors now publish, and it is the main gap in an otherwise unusually transparent offering.
Shipping Frequency
Expedited shipping is included in the price, with delivery quoted at 5 to 10 days. All supplies, including syringes and alcohol swabs, ship with the medication. Because a three-month plan is bought as one purchase, confirm whether medication ships as a single batch or monthly.
Support Services
- Direct messaging with your clinician included in the plan price
- All follow-up care and dose adjustments included
- A small team that states it answers its own messages and phone
- No auto-refills without approval
- No coaching, dietitian or nutrition programming
- A published cost calculator for comparing your own totals
Pricing
SkinnyVIP publishes two prices and nothing else. There is no membership tier, no dose ladder and no renewal price, which makes it one of the easiest programmes in the category to budget for.
| Plan or Medication | Published Price | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Three-month tirzepatide plan | $695 total (~$232/mo) | Any dose 2.5mg to 15mg, consultation, follow-ups, supplies, shipping |
| Single-month tirzepatide | $350 | One month at any dose, no auto-renew |
| Compounded semaglutide | Quoted after consultation | Priced by your clinician based on dose and three-month supply |
| Membership fee | $0 | SkinnyVIP charges no membership at any tier |
| If not prescribed | Full refund | You only pay if a clinician approves treatment |
Pricing reflects what SkinnyVIP published at the time of review and can change without notice. Confirm current pricing directly with the provider before enrolling.
Membership Fees
None, and this is the central claim of the business. SkinnyVIP charges no membership, no contract and no minimum commitment, and states there is no auto-billing hidden in its terms. Its comparison table contrasts this with membership fees of $74 to $149 a month elsewhere in the category.
Medication Fees
Included in the plan price at any dose. The one price covers your medication from a 2.5mg starting dose through to 15mg maintenance, which is the point at which several competitors would have raised your monthly cost substantially.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation
There is nothing to cancel. Because nothing auto-renews and there is no subscription, stopping treatment means simply not buying the next plan. That removes the most common complaint about GLP-1 telehealth billing entirely.
Refunds
SkinnyVIP states you receive a full refund if a clinician does not prescribe treatment, and that you only pay if treatment is approved. Compounded medication that has been prepared cannot generally be returned, so the refund guarantee applies to the pre-prescription stage rather than to a change of mind after delivery.
Insurance, HSA and FSA
Insurance
Not accepted. SkinnyVIP is a cash-pay medical practice and prices accordingly.
HSA / FSA
SkinnyVIP does not publish an explicit HSA or FSA position. Ask before paying if you intend to use pre-tax funds, and keep itemised receipts showing the clinical service and prescription.
