Day spas can earn from wellness treatment referrals by joining a telehealth partner program: you share a QR code or personal link, and when a guest signs up for licensed telehealth care through it, you earn a fixed marketing fee paid to your bank every month for as long as that person keeps actively using the platform. You never touch medication, never hire a provider, and it is free to join. With MedStands, a day spa becomes a referral partner for licensed telehealth care, including GLP-1 weight management, without becoming a medical practice.
Why a day spa is a natural fit
Your guests already come to you for wellness. They book facials, massages, and body treatments because they trust your space to help them feel and look their best. That trust is exactly what makes a day spa a strong referral partner. When a guest asks about weight management or newer wellness options, you have somewhere credible to point them, and you get credit for the introduction.
You are not adding a medical service or changing your treatment menu. You are simply giving interested guests a way to connect with licensed telehealth care through your spa partner program code. The people who sign up through your QR code or link are attributed to you, so the introduction you already make in casual conversation now has a way to pay you back.
What you actually do, and what you never touch
The work is intentionally light. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment. Your spa never handles, stores, or ships any medication. You do not diagnose anyone, and you do not decide who qualifies.
In practice, participating looks like this:
- Display a QR code at your front desk, in treatment rooms, or on your booking confirmations.
- Share your personal link in emails, texts, or social posts when it is relevant.
- Let interested guests scan or click to learn more and sign up on their own.
That is the whole job. A guest who wants to explore telehealth care does so directly on the platform, on their own time. Your team does not book appointments, answer medical questions, or manage refills.

Who handles the clinical side
Everything medical happens away from your spa. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified, which reflects its standing in the telehealth space. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
This matters for two reasons. First, it keeps your spa out of any clinical or regulatory responsibility, because you are making an introduction, not delivering care. Second, it means the people you refer are handed off to real licensed professionals rather than to you. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. You have no say in who is approved, and you should never suggest that a particular guest is or is not a good candidate.
How the marketing fee works
When someone signs up through your code and becomes an active customer, you earn a fixed marketing fee. It is set in advance, and it is paid to your bank every month for as long as that person keeps actively using the platform. It is not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a cut of revenue. It is a flat, predictable fee per active referred customer.
Because the fee recurs monthly while the person stays active, a handful of good introductions can turn into steady, recurring income over time rather than a one-time payout. There is no cap on how many guests you can refer, and there is nothing to sell out of or restock. Salons run this same play, and the mechanics are nearly identical, as explained in How Salons Can Earn From the GLP-1 Weight-Loss Boom.

Common questions
Does it cost anything to join?
No. It is $0 to join. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You are not stocking a product or paying for a license. You share a code, and you earn a fixed marketing fee when the people you refer become active customers.
Do I need a provider, a medical license, or any clinical training?
No. There is no clinical work involved on your end. Licensed providers handle the prescribing and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. Your spa simply makes the introduction. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe, and neither do you.
Who decides if a guest qualifies for treatment?
A licensed provider does. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. You cannot influence who is approved, and you should never promise anyone a result or imply that they are a good candidate. Your role begins and ends with the introduction.
Will this create extra work for my front desk staff?
Very little. Once your QR code and link are set up, guests scan and sign up on their own. Your team does not schedule visits, answer medical questions, or manage anything clinical. The platform tracks who signed up through your code automatically, so there is nothing for staff to log or reconcile.

If your day spa already sends guests toward better wellness every day, you can earn a fixed marketing fee for the introductions you are likely making anyway. Joining is free, the clinical work stays with licensed providers and pharmacies, and you get paid every month for as long as your referred guests stay active.
