Country clubs can earn recurring telehealth referral revenue by pointing members toward licensed online care and collecting a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee, without doing any clinical work or holding any inventory. Your club simply introduces members to a trusted telehealth service, and licensed professionals handle everything from there.
Why country clubs are a natural fit for telehealth referrals
Country clubs sit on something most businesses would envy: a stable, engaged, high-trust membership base that returns week after week. Members already look to your club for wellness, from the fitness center and tennis courts to the dining room and spa. Adding a convenient path to licensed online care fits that lifestyle without asking anyone to change their routine.
Because membership is recurring by nature, the referral relationship can be recurring too. When a member you introduced stays with the care program month after month, your club can continue to earn a monthly marketing fee for that introduction. That turns a single, simple referral into a durable line of revenue that complements your existing amenities.
You are not selling anything clinical. You are offering members another premium convenience, the same way you might recommend a golf pro or a caterer.
How the recurring revenue actually works
The mechanics are refreshingly simple. MedStands gives your club a unique QR code and link. You place the code where members already gather: the pro shop, the locker rooms, the newsletter, the member app, or a tasteful table card in the clubhouse.
A member scans the code on their own time and connects with an independent, licensed telehealth service. If they choose to move forward and a licensed provider approves care, your club is credited for the introduction. When that member continues care, your recurring monthly marketing fee continues too.
If you want the full walkthrough, see the MedStands model, from QR code to monthly payout. The short version: you introduce, licensed professionals deliver, and your club gets paid a predictable fee.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that makes the model comfortable for a club to adopt. Your club never touches medicine, and no one on your staff needs any medical background.
Independent licensed providers handle all of the prescribing. Licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping directly to the member. The underlying platform is LegitScript-certified, and every single request is reviewed by a licensed provider. Not everyone qualifies, and that is by design: care is individualized, and clinical decisions rest entirely with the professionals.
MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. It is the technology and referral layer that connects your members to licensed care and pays your club for the introduction. If you want more detail on that division of labor, read who handles prescribing and shipping in a referral program.
The care members can explore includes well-known treatment categories offered through licensed providers, such as GLP-1 options like semaglutide and tirzepatide, or men's health options like sildenafil and tadalafil. Your club never stocks, ships, or discusses any of it clinically.
What your club does and does not do
It helps to be precise about the boundaries, because they are what keep this simple.
Your club does: display a QR code, mention the convenience to members, and collect a fixed marketing fee. That is essentially the whole job.
Your club does not: prescribe, dispense, hold inventory, handle fulfillment, process refills, or do any clinical work whatsoever. You carry no medical liability for care because you are not providing care.
The fee your club earns is a fixed marketing fee, set in advance. It is not a commission, not a percentage, and not a cut of sales. You know the arrangement up front, which makes it easy to budget and easy to explain to your board.
Partner or affiliate: choosing your path
MedStands offers two ways to join, both free. There is no setup fee and no monthly fee to participate.
Most clubs join as partners, which comes with co-branded materials and a more integrated presence for the membership. Individuals, board members, or club influencers who simply want to refer can join as affiliates. Not sure which fits? Compare them in partner versus affiliate, which program fits, or explore the MedStands affiliate program directly.
You can review the tailored details for your venue on the Country Clubs program page, and you can browse partner programs by industry if you also run adjacent businesses like a resort or a spa.
Common questions
Does my club have to pay to join?
No. Joining is free, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. Your club earns a fixed marketing fee for introductions without paying anything to participate.
Do we need any medical license or clinical staff?
No. You need no medical license and no clinical staff. Independent licensed providers do the prescribing, and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment. Your club only makes the introduction.
How is the fee calculated?
It is a fixed marketing fee agreed in advance, not a commission or a percentage of any sale. Because it can recur monthly while a referred member stays in care, your club can build steady, predictable referral revenue over time.
Is this appropriate for our members?
Care is optional, private, and individualized. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your club is simply offering a convenient, LegitScript-certified path, not recommending any specific treatment.
