Fertility clinics can earn recurring telehealth referral revenue by referring patients to licensed online care through a partner program, without doing any clinical work or holding any inventory. You collect a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee set in advance, the platform handles the intake and fulfillment, and your clinic stays focused on the care it already provides.
Why fertility clinics are a natural fit for telehealth referrals
Fertility patients see you often. Between consultations, monitoring, and follow-up visits, your clinic builds a level of trust that most businesses never reach. That relationship is exactly what makes a referral feel helpful rather than promotional.
Many of the health topics that come up around a fertility journey sit next to your core service rather than inside it. Weight management, everyday supplements, and skin health are common examples. When a patient asks where to turn for that kind of support, you can point them to licensed online care instead of leaving them to search on their own. You are not treating those needs, and you are not selling anything. You are making a trusted introduction, and that introduction is what the referral revenue rewards.
How the referral revenue actually works
The mechanics are simple. Your clinic gets its own referral tools, most often a QR code you can place at the front desk, in follow-up materials, or on your website. A patient scans it, completes a licensed online intake on their own time, and a licensed provider reviews the request. If the patient qualifies and chooses to move forward, that referral is attributed to your clinic.
From there, the fee is handled for you. You do not invoice anyone, chase payments, or track orders. For a plain walkthrough of the full path, see how the MedStands model turns a QR code into a monthly payout. Because the fee is fixed and set in advance, you always know how each referral is counted, and your earnings stay predictable from one month to the next.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that keeps your clinic protected. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Independent licensed providers do all of the prescribing, and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform itself is LegitScript-certified, which is the standard telehealth compliance credential.
Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. That matters: your clinic is never making a clinical decision, never touching a prescription, and never taking on medical responsibility for the patient's outcome. Generic treatments such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and various supplements are managed entirely by the providers and pharmacies on the platform. If you want a deeper look at that separation, read who handles prescribing and shipping in a referral program. You do no clinical work, hold no inventory, and handle no fulfillment.
Partner or affiliate: which path fits your clinic
There are two ways to join, and both pay a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee. The partner path suits an established clinic with a physical location and steady patient flow, since it leans on placement like front-desk QR codes and printed materials. The affiliate path suits individuals or online-first businesses who prefer to share links and digital referral tools.
Most fertility clinics fit the partner model, but plenty of clinic owners run both. If you are weighing the two, compare the partner and affiliate programs before you decide. You can explore the partner program or the MedStands affiliate program directly, and either way the clinical and fulfillment work stays off your plate.
What joining costs your clinic
Nothing. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. There is no inventory to buy, no software to install, and no minimum you have to hit.
The fee you earn is a fixed marketing fee, set in advance. It is not a commission, not a percentage, and not a cut of what a patient spends. That distinction is deliberate, and it keeps the arrangement clean: you are paid a marketing fee for the referral, and your patients are never charged more because the introduction came from you. Your clinic adds a revenue stream without adding overhead, staff time, or clinical risk.
Common questions
Do we need to change anything about how we practice?
No. Your clinical workflow stays exactly as it is. The referral lives alongside your practice, not inside it. You add a QR code or a link, and the licensed providers and pharmacies on the platform take care of everything after a patient scans.
Is this compliant for a licensed medical clinic?
Yes, because the compliance structure is built for exactly this. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe, the platform is LegitScript-certified, and every request is reviewed by a licensed provider. Your clinic makes an introduction and nothing more.
How is the marketing fee decided?
It is a fixed marketing fee agreed on in advance, not a percentage or a cut of sales. Because it is set ahead of time, you can plan around it. To understand the factors that shape referral earnings, see how much you can earn referring businesses to telehealth.
What if a patient does not qualify?
That is fine and expected. Not everyone qualifies, and the licensed provider makes that call. You are never responsible for the medical decision, and there is no downside to your clinic when a request is not approved.
Get started with the Fertility Clinics program
If your clinic already has patient trust and steady foot traffic, telehealth referral revenue is one of the lowest-effort ways to turn that trust into a recurring monthly marketing fee. You do no clinical work, hold no inventory, and take on no fulfillment, while independent licensed providers and licensed pharmacies handle the rest.
