T. C. Chyung, listed as the owner of webdocsnetwork.com, founded WebDocsNetwork in late 2010. The company's website does not disclose its ownership or management. The domain registration, dated September 2, 2010, shows an apartment address in Illinois.
Chyung identifies himself as the founder and CEO on the @WebDocsNetwork Twitter account. No information explains why this detail is absent from the company's official site. Chyung's past involvement in multi-level marketing ventures is not publicly documented, beyond a general description as "a businessman."
WebDocsNetwork offers no retail products or services. Affiliates pay a fee to join, gaining access to a "national network of U.S. licensed, board-certified physicians." These physicians reportedly provide care for non-emergency medical needs.
The company promises unlimited access to these U.S. licensed physicians via webcam, phone, or secure email for a monthly membership fee. Access is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The compensation plan primarily rewards affiliates for recruiting new paid members. WebDocsNetwork uses eight membership ranks: Member, Consultant, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Executive Diamond. Each rank requires paying a monthly fee and, for Consultant and above, recruiting a specific number of Consultants. For example, a Bronze member recruits three Consultants, while an Executive Diamond recruits 250.
The Fast Start Bonus pays consultants who recruit other consultants. This bonus extends five levels deep. First-level recruitment pays $25, second level pays $2, third level pays $1, and fourth and fifth levels each pay $2. A sixth level pays $3.
Recruitment Commissions are one-time payments for recruiting a set number of new members. Recruiting 100 members earns $500, 200 members earns $1000, and up to 20,000 members earns $200,000.
Residual commissions come from a 3x9 matrix structure. An affiliate sits at the top, with three positions directly below. This structure extends nine levels down. Each position represents a member, filled by direct recruitment or by the efforts of others. The company pays $1 each month for every recruited member in an affiliate's matrix who pays their monthly membership fee.
Members and Consultants can only earn on the first six levels of their matrix. Bronze-ranked members and higher qualify for levels 7-9.
Matching Matrix Commissions are available to Bronze Consultants and higher. This commission matches a percentage of the matrix earnings of personally recruited downline members. The percentage varies by rank: Bronze earns 50%, Silver 60%, Gold 70%, Platinum 80%, Diamond 90%, and Executive Diamond 100%.
The Consultant Rank Bonus Pool is open to Silver-ranked members and above. This pool collects $1 per member (of any rank) who pays their monthly fee. Eligible members share this bonus equally each month.
Joining WebDocsNetwork costs $19.95 per month for a "Member" option or $39.95 per month for a "Consultant" option. Members can only earn on the first six levels of their matrix and do not qualify for other commissions or bonuses.
The method of compensation for WebDocsNetwork members relies entirely on recruitment and monthly membership fees. The medical services offered do not factor into how commissions are earned. Members receive payments for recruiting new members and continue to earn as long as monthly fees are paid. Without a retail offering, the company consists of affiliates paying each other through these fees. A new affiliate must pay their monthly fee to enable upline payments and then recruit new members to earn commissions themselves.
