Telehealth referral attribution is the system that connects each person who signs up to the affiliate or business who referred them. When someone scans your QR code or uses your personal link to join the platform, that sign-up is tagged to you, and you earn a recurring lifetime marketing fee for as long as that person keeps actively using the platform. There is no code to remember at checkout and nothing for you to track by hand. The link does the work.
How attribution connects a person to you
Every affiliate gets a personal link and a QR code. You share them wherever it makes sense: a text to a friend, a post, an email footer, a printed card, or a sign in a waiting room. When someone follows your link or scans your code and creates an account, the platform records that they came from you. From that point on, they are attributed to you.
This matters because attribution is what turns a casual share into ongoing credit. You do not have to be present when the person signs up, and you do not have to prompt them to mention your name. The moment they enter through your link or QR code, the connection is made and stored.
What "lifetime tracking" actually means
Lifetime tracking means the attribution stays attached to the person you referred. It is not a one-time payout for a single sign-up. As long as that referred person keeps actively using the platform, you continue to earn recurring lifetime marketing fees, paid to your bank every month.
To be clear about what you are earning: this is a fixed marketing fee set in advance, not a commission or a percentage of sales. You earn a fixed monthly fee per active customer you referred. The amount is defined up front, so you always know how the model works before you share a single link. As your list of active referrals grows, so does the recurring total that lands in your account each month.
What you do, and what the platform handles
Your role is simple: share your link or QR code with people who might be interested. That is the entire job. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment. You never touch medication at any point.
On the other side, 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. That separation is the whole point of the model: you focus on referrals while the licensed medical side handles care.

Why the QR code and link matter more than a manual system
Attribution built into the link removes the two things that usually break referral programs: forgetting to give credit and losing track over time. Because the credit is assigned automatically the instant a person signs up through your code, nothing depends on someone remembering to name you. And because the tracking is tied to the account rather than a single transaction, it keeps counting month after month without you doing anything else.
That is what makes QR codes and personal links so practical for anyone with an audience, a customer base, or a network. A code on a counter or a link in a bio can keep generating recurring marketing fees long after you posted it.

Common questions
Does it cost anything to join?
No. It is $0 to join and free to join. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You get a link and a QR code and you start sharing.
Do I have to do any clinical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment. You never handle medication. Your only job is to share your referral link or QR code.
Who handles prescribing and shipping?
Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified, and MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. You are the referral source, not the provider.
What if someone I refer does not qualify?
Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. You cannot influence who is approved, and no one should assume any specific person is a good candidate for treatment. You earn recurring marketing fees on the people who are approved and become active customers, and attribution simply keeps those referrals tied to you over time.
