No. Joining the MedStands partner program costs your business nothing. It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You share a QR code or a personal link, people who sign up through it get attributed to your business, and you earn a fixed marketing fee paid to your bank every month for as long as each referred person keeps actively using the platform.
What "free to join" actually means
There is no catch buried in the setup. You do not pay to create an account, you do not pay a recurring subscription, and you are not required to purchase inventory, devices, or a starter package to participate. The whole point of the model is that a business can add a new revenue line without any upfront cost or financial risk.
That matters because most "add a service" pitches ask you to buy something first: a machine, a product line, a franchise fee, or a monthly software seat. This is different. You are lending your reach, a storefront, a website, an email list, a waiting room, or a member community, and you get paid when that reach turns into a real customer on the platform.
How you earn without paying in
The earning side is just as simple as the cost side. When someone signs up through your QR code or link and becomes an active customer, you earn a fixed marketing fee for that customer. 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.
To be clear about the terms, this is a flat, predetermined marketing fee. It is not a commission, not a cut, and not a percentage of anyone's sales. You know the figure ahead of time, and it does not fluctuate with the price of a treatment or the size of an order. If you want the full breakdown of why that distinction matters, see Is a Telehealth Referral Fee a Commission? Here Is How It Actually Works.
Because the fee recurs monthly while a customer stays active, a handful of referrals can build into a steady, predictable stream over time rather than a one-time payout.
Why there is nothing to buy
You do not buy anything because you are never the one delivering care. Your business does no clinical work, holds no inventory, does no prescribing, and handles no fulfillment. You never touch medication at any point.
On the platform, licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. In practice, that means the parts of the process that would require licensing, insurance, storage, or specialized staff are handled entirely by the licensed side, which is exactly why there is no cost of goods for you to cover.
This is also why the program adds almost nothing to your team's plate. Your staff does not intake patients, screen for eligibility, or manage orders. If you want a closer look at the day-to-day impact, read Will Telehealth Referrals Create Extra Work for My Staff?.
Who this fits
Because there is no cost to join and no clinical burden, the model works across a wide range of businesses that already have an audience interested in health and wellness. That includes gyms, medspas, salons, wellness clubs, chiropractors, and many others. You can browse partner programs by industry to see how the fit looks for a specific type of business.

Common questions
Is there really no cost to join?
Correct. It is $0 to join. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You create an account, get your QR code or personal link, and start sharing.
Do I have to do any medical or clinical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your end, and you never touch medication. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping.
Who is responsible for prescribing and shipping?
Licensed providers and licensed pharmacies on a LegitScript-certified platform. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so eligibility is always decided on the clinical side, not by you.
If it is free, how do I get paid?
Someone signs up through your QR code or link, that person is attributed to your business, and you earn a fixed monthly marketing fee for each active customer. Payments go to your bank each month for as long as the customer stays active. There is no dollar figure guaranteed, and earnings depend on how many people you refer and how long they stay.
