A telehealth affiliate program lets your business or audience refer people to licensed online care, while independent providers and licensed pharmacies handle everything clinical. You share a simple link or QR code, and you earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee for referrals that convert. You never touch a prescription, hold inventory, or handle fulfillment.
What a telehealth affiliate program actually is
A telehealth affiliate program is a referral partnership. Instead of selling anything yourself, you point people you already reach toward a trusted online care platform. When someone you referred becomes a paying patient, you receive a marketing fee for sending qualified interest.
That is the whole idea. You are compensated for marketing and awareness, not for practicing medicine or moving product. The care itself is delivered by the platform and its network of independent, licensed professionals. Your job is simply to connect people with a resource that can help them, and to do it in a compliant, transparent way.
The program step by step
Here is how the process works, start to finish:
- You apply and get approved. Joining is free, with no setup cost and no monthly fee. You tell us about your business or audience, and we confirm it is a good fit.
- You get your referral tools. Once approved, you receive a unique link and a scannable QR code. Many partners place the QR code on printed materials, in a storefront, or across their online channels.
- Someone you reach scans or clicks. A person in your audience follows your link to the online care platform. From that first moment, the referral is attributed to you automatically.
- A licensed provider reviews their request. The person completes an intake, and an independent licensed provider evaluates whether treatment is appropriate. Not everyone qualifies, and that is by design.
- Qualified patients begin care. If approved, the patient receives care and their medication ships from a licensed pharmacy. Refills and shipping are handled entirely by that pharmacy.
- You earn your marketing fee. When your referral converts to a paying patient, you earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee, paid on a predictable schedule.
Every step after the scan happens without you. You do not build a website, run a checkout, or manage any of the care. The platform and its licensed network carry the customer from intake to delivery.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that makes the model work, and the part that keeps you protected. You do no clinical work at all.
Independent licensed providers handle every medical decision, including whether a treatment such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, sildenafil, or tadalafil is appropriate for a given person. Licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform itself is LegitScript-certified, a recognized standard for legitimate, compliant telehealth.
MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your business holds no inventory, dispenses nothing, and handles no fulfillment. You are a marketing partner, cleanly separated from the clinical side.

A simple marketing fee, not a commission
One of the most common misunderstandings is that this is a sales commission. It is not.
Your fee is a fixed marketing fee, set in advance. It is not a percentage, not a cut of sales, and not tied to what a patient spends. You know the terms before you refer a single person, which makes your income easy to understand and simple to plan around.
Because it is free to join with no setup or monthly fee, there is no financial risk in getting started. You are not buying inventory or paying for a license. You simply refer, and you earn when those referrals convert.
We keep earnings talk qualitative on purpose. Your results depend on your audience, your reach, and how you promote your link. What we can offer is a clear, upfront fee structure and dependable monthly payouts.
Partner or affiliate: which path fits
There are two ways to work with us, and they suit different situations.
A business partner typically has a physical location or a captive audience, such as a gym, clinic, salon, or wellness studio. A QR code on the counter can quietly turn everyday foot traffic into recurring monthly income.
An affiliate is often a creator, marketer, or individual with an online audience who prefers to share a link. Both roles earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee, and both keep you fully separated from clinical work.

Common questions
Do I need a medical license to refer customers?
No. You are a marketing partner, not a healthcare provider. Independent licensed providers make all clinical decisions, and licensed pharmacies handle dispensing. You never prescribe, diagnose, or handle medication yourself.
Does my business pay anything to join?
No. It is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. You receive your referral link and QR code at no cost, and you only earn when your referrals convert to paying patients.
Is the fee a commission or a percentage of sales?
Neither. It is a fixed marketing fee set in advance. It is not a percentage, not a cut of sales, and not based on what any patient spends. You know your terms up front.
What do I actually have to do?
Share your link or display your QR code, then keep serving your audience as usual. The platform, its independent providers, and its licensed pharmacies handle intake, review, dispensing, refills, and shipping.
