The Virtual NP, answered
Is The Virtual NP legit?
The Virtual NP is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. It dispenses FDA-approved brand-name medication rather than the compounded formulas most programs here sell, which is why its pricing sits higher.
How much does The Virtual NP cost?
The Virtual NP doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.
Does The Virtual NP ship to my state?
The Virtual NP operates in a limited set of states (7 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
The Virtual NP vs SkinnyRx — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: The Virtual NP at 62/100 and SkinnyRx at 64/100, so neither wins on the headline number. The Virtual NP is the better fit for patients in served states wanting affordable visits and FDA-approved branded GLP-1s. SkinnyRx suits shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who read the term attached to an advertised rate before they read the number. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data last verified July 2026 from The Virtual NP's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology.

If that is not you, SkinnyRx is the closest thing to it here.
