Yes: a nurse practitioner or RN can earn steady referral income by sending their network to licensed telehealth, while staying entirely on the referral side and letting MedStands licensed providers handle every prescription.

The MedStands affiliate program is built for exactly this. As an NP, RN, or solo NP, you share a QR code or personal link, people who sign up through it are attributed to you for life, and you earn a fixed marketing fee each month for every active customer you referred. You never touch medication, inventory, or a prescription pad.

Why nurses are a natural fit

Nurses already do the hard part of any referral: they are trusted. Patients, former patients, coworkers, and friends ask you what is legitimate and what is not, especially around GLP-1 weight-loss medication like semaglutide and tirzepatide, or wellness injectables such as NAD+, MIC-B12, and glutathione. When you point them to a LegitScript-certified platform, you are answering a question they were already going to ask someone.

Here is what makes it low-friction for a working RN or NP:

  • It is free to join. No cost to sign up, no setup fee, no monthly fee, nothing to buy.
  • You stay on the referral side. Licensed providers on the platform review each request and prescribe; licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping.
  • The tracking is lifetime, so a person you refer once keeps earning for you as long as they stay active.

How the referral side stays separate from the clinical side

This is the part that matters most for a licensed professional protecting their credential. You are not practicing, prescribing, or giving medical advice through the affiliate program. You are making an introduction.

Every request on the platform is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. The clinical decisions (eligibility, treatment, and dosing) belong to the provider, and fulfillment belongs to the pharmacy. Your role begins and ends with the link.

That clean separation is what lets a solo NP add a genuine income stream without adding liability, overhead, or a single new clinical task.

What you actually earn

You earn a fixed marketing fee, set in advance, for each active referred customer, paid to your bank every month for as long as that customer stays active. It is not a cut of sales and it is not tied to what anyone spends. It is a flat, predictable fee per active referral, which is exactly what makes it easy to reason about while you are working a full clinical schedule.

Common questions

Do I need a license or a business to join?

No. The affiliate program is open to individuals, so any NP, RN, or nursing student can join for free. Businesses that want to refer at scale use the partner program instead.

Am I giving medical advice when I refer someone?

No. You share a link. A licensed provider reviews every request and makes all clinical decisions, so you are never prescribing or advising on treatment.

What can I refer people for?

General telehealth needs the platform supports, including GLP-1 medication and wellness options like sildenafil, tadalafil, GHK-Cu, NAD+, and peptides. What a person qualifies for is always the provider's decision.

When and how do I get paid?

Earnings are paid to your bank every month for each active referred customer, with lifetime attribution, so past referrals keep counting.
