Visit The Virtual NPThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out The Virtual NP on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 63 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
The Virtual NP is still a genuine option — a named nurse practitioner (Sandra Jordan, FNP-C), brand-only Wegovy or Zepbound, and a genuine choice between a $99 pay-as-you-go visit or a $75/mo membership — but it's a small multi-state footprint concentrated in the South and Southwest. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
The Virtual NP
Ranked #81 · Grade C
What we like
- A genuine choice between a $99 one-off visit and a $75/mo membership — no forced subscription
- Brand-only, FDA-approved medication (Wegovy or Zepbound), not compounded
- A named, board-certified founder (Sandra Jordan, MSN, APRN, FNP-C)
The caveats
- Small multi-state footprint concentrated in the South/Southwest: TX, FL, NY, AZ, NV, NM, KS only
- Medication cost is not itemized and varies by pharmacy — budget for it on top of the visit or membership fee
- Brand-only — no compounded fallback if brand pricing is out of reach without insurance
