Yes, dental offices can earn from wellness telehealth referrals. When your practice introduces patients to licensed online care and they enroll, you collect a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee, with no clinical work, no inventory, and no fulfillment on your end.

Why dental offices are a natural fit for wellness telehealth referrals

Your dental office already runs on trust. Patients sit in your chair, follow your guidance, and take your recommendations seriously. That relationship is exactly what makes a dental practice a strong referral partner for wellness telehealth. Many of the same patients who ask you about whitening, night guards, or general health are also curious about metabolic health, GLP-1 options like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and other wellness support they can access online.

You are not becoming a weight clinic or a pharmacy. You are simply pointing interested patients toward a trusted, licensed online care option and collecting a marketing fee for the introduction. Because dental offices see steady, repeat foot traffic, they are well positioned to make these introductions consistently over time. If you want to see how the same idea maps to other verticals, you can browse partner programs by industry.

How the referral actually works, from QR code to monthly payout

The mechanics are intentionally simple. Your dental office receives a unique QR code and link tied to your account. You place the QR code where patients already look: the front desk, a waiting room sign, an aftercare handout, or a follow-up email. A patient scans it, starts a request on their own time, and the platform records that they came from you.

From there, everything happens off your plate. The patient completes an intake, an independent licensed provider reviews the request, and if appropriate, care is coordinated. When a referred patient enrolls, your practice earns a marketing fee. If that patient continues care month over month, the fee can recur. You can read a full walkthrough in the MedStands model from QR code to monthly payout.

Who handles the clinical side (prescribing, pharmacy, and shipping)

This is the part that keeps your dental office safely out of clinical territory. You never prescribe, diagnose, counsel, or dispense anything. Independent licensed providers handle all prescribing decisions, and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping directly to the patient.

MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. The underlying platform is LegitScript-certified, and every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, so not everyone who applies will qualify. That review step matters: it protects patients and it keeps your referral role clearly separate from care delivery.

What your dental office does, and does not, have to do

Your side of the arrangement is short. You do:

  • Display or share your QR code and referral link.
  • Mention the option to patients who express interest.
  • Collect a marketing fee when referred patients enroll.

You do not:

  • Do any clinical work, exams, or consultations for telehealth care.
  • Hold any inventory or medication in your office.
  • Handle any fulfillment, shipping, billing, or refunds.
  • Manage insurance or patient care questions after the referral.

The fee you earn is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission, not a percentage, and not a cut of sales. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee, so there is no financial risk in testing whether this fits your practice.

Partner or affiliate: choosing the right way to earn

MedStands offers two paths, and dental offices can use either. The partner path suits an established practice that wants a branded, ongoing program tied to its location and patient flow. The affiliate path suits individuals or smaller operators who mainly want to share a link and earn. Both earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee; they differ mostly in structure and presentation. If you are weighing the two, partner vs affiliate, which program fits breaks down the differences in plain terms. You can also compare the partner program and the MedStands affiliate program directly.

Common questions

Do I need a medical license to refer patients?

No. Referring is a marketing activity, not a clinical one. You are introducing patients to licensed online care, not treating them. All prescribing is done by independent licensed providers, so your dental office does not need any medical license or clinical credential to take part.

Does my dental office pay anything to join?

No. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. You are not buying inventory, software seats, or a franchise. Your only role is to make introductions and collect a marketing fee when referred patients enroll.

How much can my practice earn?

Earnings depend on how many patients you refer and how many enroll and continue care. Because the fee is fixed and set in advance, you always know the terms up front. We keep earnings qualitative on purpose and do not promise totals, but a steady patient base that makes consistent introductions gives your dental office a recurring monthly path.

Is this compliant and safe for my patients?

Yes. The platform is LegitScript-certified, MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe, and every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, so not everyone qualifies. Your office stays on the marketing side, which keeps the arrangement clean and low risk for both you and your patients.
