Provider review
The Virtual NP review
The price buys a visit and a prescription, and the site says the medication is separate.
Its two published figures are different units in the same shape — one a membership, one per visit.

In one paragraph
The verdict
A nurse-practitioner practice rather than a storefront, and it prices like one: you are buying a clinical visit and a prescription, and the medication is somebody else's bill. That is stated in as many words on the pricing question itself, which puts it ahead of the rows here that let you assume otherwise and find out later. The structure still needs care, because the two published numbers are not the same kind of number. One is a monthly membership rate. The other is described as a monthly figure in one place and as a per-visit charge in another, on the same site, which makes the pay-as-you-go option hard to cost over a year unless you already know how many visits it involves. The thing to check before any of that is the map. Six states are listed on the front page, which is the shortest list we have found, and for most readers it settles the question before price gets a look in.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You live in one of the six states listed and want a nurse practitioner rather than a funnel
- You already have a pharmacy and only need the visit and the prescription
- You want to pay per visit rather than subscribe
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside those six states
- You want the medication included, or even priced
- You want to compare the two routes over a year without guessing at visit counts
What it actually costs
Price as published
THE FIGURE BUYS A VISIT, NOT A DRUG, and the site says so: "Visits start at $99. Medication costs are separate and vary depending on treatment and pharmacy." · two routes are published side by side — "Online Weight Loss Service WITHOUT Membership - Prescription only $99/month", described elsewhere as "$99.00 per visit", and "Online Weight Loss Programs WITH Membership - Prescription only $75/month", a month-to-month membership · so the cheaper figure requires the membership and the dearer one is per visit, which are different units wearing the same shape · self-pay with HSA/FSA accepted · ★ SIX STATES ONLY: TX, FL, NY, AZ, NM and KS, stated on the front page · no dose is published
- Vs median
- Not comparable — the published figure is not the whole bill — a membership, platform fee or separate medication charge sits on top of it
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- No low-dose price published
A low-dose lane may exist, but nothing public says what it costs — so the one question this page exists to answer cannot be answered before you sign up.
52 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. The published figures buy a clinical visit and a prescription; the medication is explicitly somebody else's bill and its price is never given. ★ Saying so on the pricing question is what separates this from the rows that let a reader assume otherwise. The two figures are different units wearing the same shape — one is a monthly membership, the other is described as both monthly and per-visit on the same site. Six states.

How the program works
A nurse-practitioner practice rather than a storefront, and it prices like one: you are buying a clinical visit and a prescription, and the medication is somebody else's bill. That is stated in as many words on the pricing question, which puts it ahead of the rows here that let a reader assume otherwise. The structure needs care, though, because the two published numbers are not the same kind of number. Seventy-five dollars is a monthly membership rate; ninety-nine is described both as a monthly figure and as a per-visit charge in different places on the same site, which makes the cheaper-looking pay-as-you-go option hard to price over a year without knowing how many visits it involves. The other thing to check before anything else is the map: six states, listed on the front page, which is the shortest list on this page and decides the question for most readers before price does.
The honest cons
The advertised figures buy a visit and a prescription, not medication.
- The $99 route is described as both monthly and per-visit on the same site.
- Six states only, which rules it out for most readers before price matters.

How it compares
The Virtual NP is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
