Hormone clinics can add GLP-1 weight loss by sharing a QR code or personal link that sends interested patients to a licensed telehealth platform, then earning a fixed marketing fee for each person who signs up and stays active. Your clinic never prescribes the medication, never stocks it, and never ships it. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping, so you add a new weight management option without taking on a single clinical or logistical task.
Why GLP-1 fits a hormone clinic's patient base
Patients who already come to you for hormone optimization, thyroid support, menopause care, or testosterone therapy are often thinking about metabolic health and weight at the same time. GLP-1 weight management is a natural extension of those conversations. Instead of turning that interest away or building a whole new service line, you can point patients toward a licensed telehealth option and let the platform handle the rest.
This is a marketing and referral opportunity, not a new medical service. You are not opening a weight-loss program, hiring a prescriber, or taking on liability for treatment. You are simply giving existing patients an easy path to care that a licensed provider evaluates. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so you are introducing an option, not promising an outcome.
How the referral model works
MedStands gives your clinic a QR code and a personal link. You can print the QR code for the front desk, add it to intake paperwork, or drop the link into a follow-up email or text. When a patient scans or clicks and signs up, they are attributed to your clinic automatically. That attribution stays tied to the account, so you do not have to chase anyone or log anything by hand.
From there, the platform takes over. The patient completes their own intake, a licensed provider reviews the request, and if approved, a licensed pharmacy handles the prescription, refills, and shipping directly to the patient. Your staff is never in the middle of a refill request or a shipping question.
What you earn, and what you never touch
Partners earn a fixed marketing fee, set in advance, for each referred patient who stays active on the platform. It is paid to your bank every month for as long as that person keeps using the service. This is not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a cut of revenue. It is a flat fee agreed on up front, which makes it easy to plan around.
Just as important is the list of things you never do. No clinical work. No inventory. No prescribing. No fulfillment. Your clinic does not touch the medication at any point. MedStands is LegitScript-certified, is not a medical practice, and does not prescribe. The licensed providers and licensed pharmacies on the platform carry the clinical and logistical responsibility, which keeps your role squarely on the marketing side.
Why it costs nothing to add
It is free to join. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You are not licensing software, stocking a fridge, or committing to a minimum. That makes GLP-1 referrals one of the lowest-risk additions a hormone clinic can make, because the only thing you are adding is a QR code and a link.
Because there is no upfront cost and no ongoing overhead, the fixed monthly fee per active patient is added on top of patients you already see. If you serve a defined patient population, the sibling guides for How Men's Health Clinics Can Add Telehealth Referral Revenue and How Women's Health Clinics Can Add Weight-Loss Referral Revenue may be useful, since the model works the same way.
Common questions
Does my clinic have to pay anything to join?
No. It is $0 to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. There is nothing to buy and no software to license. You share a QR code or link and earn a fixed marketing fee for each active referred patient.
Do we have to do any clinical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your side. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. Your clinic simply refers.
Who actually prescribes the medication?
Licensed providers on the platform review each request and prescribe when appropriate, and licensed pharmacies fill and ship. MedStands is LegitScript-certified, is not a medical practice, and does not prescribe. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies.
Is the fee a commission?
No. It is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission, percentage, or share of revenue. You know the flat amount ahead of time, and it is paid to your bank monthly for as long as the referred patient stays active.

If your hormone clinic already talks with patients about weight and metabolic health, adding GLP-1 referrals is a small step with no cost and no clinical burden. Learn how the hormone clinic partner program works, or browse partner programs by industry to see how the same model fits other practices.
