Tennis clubs can add a wellness referral revenue line by sharing a QR code or personal link that points members to a licensed telehealth intake, then earning a fixed monthly marketing fee for each active referred customer. The club does no clinical work, because independent licensed providers and licensed pharmacies handle everything medical.
Why tennis clubs fit a member referral line
Tennis clubs already have the two ingredients that make a referral line work: a trusted relationship with members and a recurring rhythm of visits. Members return week after week for lessons, league nights, and court time, so the club has regular, natural touchpoints to mention a wellness option without any hard sell.
- A recurring membership base that returns on a predictable schedule
- A health-minded audience already investing in fitness and performance
- Front desk, pro shop, and league emails that can carry a QR code
- A brand members trust, which matters when pointing them to a licensed service
Because the club is only making an introduction, there is no new product to stock, no staff to train on clinical topics, and no change to how the courts run. For a wider look at which businesses tend to fit, see best-fit businesses for a telehealth referral program.
The referral flow explained
The flow is simple, and the club stays on the marketing side of it the entire time. Here is what happens after a member scans the code or opens the link:
- The member completes a licensed telehealth intake on the platform.
- An independent licensed provider reviews the intake. Not everyone qualifies, and approval is the provider's decision alone.
- If approved, a licensed pharmacy fulfills, ships, and refills any medication.
- The club earns a fixed monthly marketing fee for each active referred customer, paid to its bank every month for as long as that customer keeps using the platform.
The club never sees medical details and never touches a prescription. Its role begins and ends with the introduction.
What the club does versus licensed providers and pharmacies
It helps to draw a clear line between the club's marketing role and the clinical work that licensed professionals handle. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe.
The club:
- Shares a QR code or personal link with members
- Mentions the option through normal club channels
Licensed providers and pharmacies:
- Review each intake and decide who qualifies
- Prescribe only when appropriate
- Fulfill, ship, and refill medication
Because the club does no prescribing, holds no inventory, and gives no medical advice, it can offer a wellness option without becoming a clinical operation. For a closely related model, see how membership organizations build member wellness revenue.
The fixed monthly marketing fee, not a commission
The fee is set in advance and paid monthly for each active referred customer. It is a marketing fee, not a commission, not a percentage of sales, and not a share of prescription revenue. The club is paid for the introduction, not for what any member spends and not for which medication a provider approves.
This structure keeps the club cleanly on the marketing side. The club has no way to influence provider decisions and earns the same fixed fee regardless of the clinical outcome for any individual. It is also $0 to join: no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy.
First steps
Getting started takes little more than a decision to add the line and a place to show the code.
- Review the model and check fit on the industries overview.
- Sign up at no cost and receive your club's QR code and personal link.
- Place the code where members already look: the front desk, league emails, and the member app.
- Mention it as a wellness option, and let the licensed intake handle the rest.
From there, the recurring marketing fee follows each active referred customer for as long as they stay on the platform, adding a steady revenue line alongside memberships and lessons without adding any clinical work.
