The Virtual NP is a nurse-practitioner-led telehealth practice prescribing brand-name GLP-1s and non-GLP-1 weight medications, with membership or pay-as-you-go pricing.
Overview
Care is delivered by board-certified nurse practitioners, and the medication list is entirely brand-name: Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, Victoza, Trulicity, Saxenda and Contrave. No compounded products are offered, and the practice explicitly states it does not prescribe controlled substances such as phentermine.
That last point is worth noting. Phentermine is widely prescribed for weight management, and a practice declining to prescribe controlled substances is making a deliberate scope choice rather than an oversight. If phentermine is something you want considered, this is not the provider for it.
Pricing offers two routes: $99 per visit pay-as-you-go, or a $75 per month membership. Medication cost is not included in either, so your total depends on your pharmacy and coverage. Eligibility follows standard clinical criteria, a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with risk factors including hypertension, prediabetes, diabetes, sleep apnea or increased waist circumference.

Consultation Process
Choose your pricing
Select $99 pay-as-you-go per visit or the $75 per month membership.
Nurse practitioner visit
A board-certified nurse practitioner assesses your history against the published BMI criteria.
Prescription issued
If appropriate, a brand-name prescription is issued from the published medication list.
Fulfilment
Licensed pharmacies fill the prescription, with direct-to-home delivery available.

- BMI of 30 or higher
- Or BMI of 27 or higher with risk factors

Provider Involvement and Lab Requirements
Provider Involvement
Board-certified nurse practitioners deliver care. The membership option at $75 a month suggests ongoing access rather than one-off visits, though the specific visit cadence included is not published.
Lab Requirements
The Virtual NP does not specify lab requirements. Ask during your visit what bloodwork the nurse practitioner wants, particularly if you have not had recent metabolic testing.
Pharmacy Fulfillment and Shipping
Pharmacy Fulfillment
Licensed pharmacies fill prescriptions, with direct-to-home delivery mentioned. The specific pharmacy is not named. Because medication is brand-name, there is no compounding pharmacy involved.
Shipping Frequency
Direct-to-home delivery is available, though details are minimal. Because medication is brand-name and filled at a pharmacy, delivery arrangements follow that pharmacy.
Support Services
- Board-certified nurse practitioners
- Membership option for ongoing access at $75 a month
- Wide brand-name medication list including non-GLP-1 options
- Direct-to-home delivery available
- Coaching and dietitian support are not published as included
Pricing
The Virtual NP publishes two clear pricing routes for clinical care. Medication is billed separately in both cases.
| Plan or Medication | Published Price | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go visit | $99.00 per visit | Clinical care only; medication not included |
| Monthly membership | $75 per month | Clinical care only; medication not included |
| Medication | Not included | Billed separately through your pharmacy |
Pricing reflects what The Virtual NP published at the time of review and can change without notice. Confirm current pricing directly with the provider before enrolling.
Membership Fees
The Virtual NP offers a $75 per month membership as an alternative to $99 pay-as-you-go visits. Neither includes medication cost, so factor that in separately.
Medication Fees
Not included in either pricing option. Because the practice prescribes brand-name medication, what you pay depends on your pharmacy and any coverage or manufacturer pricing you can access.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are not published. Because a monthly membership is offered, ask what notice is required before your next billing date.
Refunds
No refund policy is published. Request the written terms before enrolling, particularly for the membership option.
Insurance, HSA and FSA
Insurance
Insurance acceptance is not mentioned. Because the practice prescribes brand-name medication filled at a pharmacy, your insurance may still apply to the drug itself even if the visit is self-pay.
HSA / FSA
HSA and FSA acceptance is not mentioned. Telehealth visits and prescription medication are generally eligible expenses; confirm with your plan administrator.
