The Virtual NP
What we like
- FDA-approved branded Zepbound and Wegovy only, no compounded
- Transparent fees: 99 visit or 75 per month membership
- HSA/FSA accepted and prior authorization assistance offered
- NP-led with same or next-day booking and home shipping
Watch-outs
- Branded only, so medication cost is high and billed separately
- Limited to seven states
- No compounded lower-cost GLP-1 alternative
- Single-provider practice may limit scale and hours
Vytora Health
What we like
- All 50 states plus DC, with per-state video-vs-audio compliance disclosed
- Both compounded and brand-name options on one platform — uncommon
- LegitScript Approved and HIPAA compliant
- Pharmacy partners named publicly: Vials Pharmacy (TX) and Greenwich Biosciences
- Operating entity disclosed: Wasef Health, PC (Pinellas Park, FL)
- Competitive monthly pricing ($180 sema / $249 tirz) plus a 3-month bundle saving 17%
- Brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound available at $1,399/mo for FDA-approved options
Watch-outs
- Brand-name Mounjaro/Zepbound at $1,399/mo is near retail — insured patients may do better via LillyDirect Self Pay ($449-$699/mo)
- Compounded tirzepatide at $249/mo is mid-market, above the $149-199 floor
- Dose tiers aren't broken out — 'all doses included' means low-dose patients pay the same as high-dose
- Initial consultation cost not shown on the public pricing page
- Limited per-prescriber state licensure detail
