The MedStands model works in four steps: you share a QR code or personal link, people who sign up through it are connected to licensed telehealth care, licensed providers and pharmacies handle everything clinical, and MedStands pays a fixed marketing fee to your bank every month for as long as each referred person keeps actively using the platform. You never touch medication, and it is free to join.
That is the whole loop. Below is what happens at each stage, and why it means almost no work on your side.
Step one: you share a QR code or personal link
When you join as a partner, you get a QR code and a personal link tied to your account. You can put the QR code on a counter card, a window decal, a receipt, or a flyer, and you can drop the link into an email, a text, or a social post. However someone reaches it, the goal is the same: give people an easy way to explore telehealth care, including GLP-1 weight management, without you having to explain the medical details or sell anything.
There is nothing to buy and nothing to install. The QR code is the storefront, and it costs you nothing to put it out. If you want ideas for where a code performs best, see How QR-Code Referrals Turn Foot Traffic Into Monthly Income.
Step two: people sign up and get attributed to you
When someone scans your code or clicks your link and signs up, the platform attributes that person to your account automatically. You do not have to track anything by hand or ask anyone to mention your name at checkout. The attribution is tied to the code or link they came through.
From there, the person completes their intake on their own. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your role ends at the introduction, and you have no say over who is approved or what they are prescribed. That separation is intentional, and it is what keeps this a marketing relationship rather than a clinical one.
Step three: licensed providers and pharmacies do the clinical work
This is the part that surprises most people: you do none of the medical work. 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, and neither do you.
That means no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your end. You do not stock anything, you do not ship anything, and you never handle medication. If you want the full breakdown of who does what, read Who Handles the Prescribing and Shipping in a Referral Program?.
Step four: MedStands pays a fixed marketing fee every month
Here is the payout. For each person who signs up through your code and keeps actively using the platform, MedStands pays you a fixed marketing fee, deposited to your bank every month for as long as that person stays active. It is a flat fee set in advance, not a commission, not a percentage, and not a share of anyone's sales.
Because the fee is tied to active use, it can recur month after month rather than paying once and stopping. The more people who sign up through you and stay active, the more fixed monthly fees add up. You do not send invoices or chase payments: the deposit lands automatically.
Common questions
Does it cost anything to join?
No. It is $0 to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You get your QR code and personal link at no cost and can start sharing right away.
Do I need to do any medical or clinical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your side. Licensed providers and licensed pharmacies handle all of that. You share a code and the platform does the rest.
Who decides who gets treatment?
Licensed providers do. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. You cannot influence who is approved, and MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
How is the fee different from a commission?
The fee is a fixed marketing fee set in advance. It is not a commission, a cut, or a percentage of sales. You know the structure before you ever share your code, and it is paid on a per active customer basis rather than tied to what anyone spends.
