I don't understand how the referral program works even after reading everything about it. Do I only get the 500 CC if the referred person subscribes within 14 days, or if I just refer the person? And do I get 500 CC for every month that referred person subscribes, or is it just one time?

Technically, yes but it's a bit of a hassle to set up.
You'll need to use Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit to apply shims to the launcher.
- First, download and install both the Compatibility Toolkit and the Application verifier.
- Run the Compatibility Toolkit's Standard User Analyzer Wizard . It is located in Start Menu > Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit > Developer and Tester Tools
- Enter the location (or browse for) the launcher. It should be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic - Click Launch
- Very Important: You should see 2 LUA Prompts: the first for the Standard User Analyser and the Second for the SWTOR Launcher. Accept the first but decline the second.
- The Analyser will ask whether the application ran without problems. The launcher should not have launched (If it did, you may have accepted the LUA prompt I said to decline earlier). Click No
- The Analyser will suggest some mitigations. You should only need to check Force Administrator Access (*), but if you want to be sure or if it doesn't work the first time, you can check them all; it will only loosen some security in a few extremely specific folders/registry keys. That should not cause any problem in an environment that allows you to play SWTOR.
- Click "Launch" to test the settings.
- The launcher should have launched properly without any prompts. If it didn't, click no and select somemore mitigations in step 7.
- Once the launcher works properly, Click Yes then Export to create an msi file containing your fixes.
- Run the generated MSI to install the shims permanently.
There is one last step to take care of every last prompt. In the extras folder of your SWTOR installation (so C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\BioWare\Star Wars-The Old Republic\extras), there should be a file named vc2008redist_x86.exe. Rename it to vc2008redist_x86.exe.unused
(*) Despite the name, this shim does not give Administrator access to the launcher without your knowledge; it lies to the launcher telling it you are an Administrator when in fact you are not
I am leveling the same way you are asking in this question :)
As a medicine Operative, your biggest damage comes from a few things:
- Backstab
- Shiv
- Corrosive Dart
- Overload Shot
- Fragmentation grenade (if there is more than one target and you are not crowd controlling the other units).
I'm currently level 41 and this is what my build looks like so far: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#401MffbzGoRzMZMZoM.1
The key to this build is the 3 talent points in medical engineering. It will constantly provide you free Tactical Advantage buffs that you can use on Surgical Probe while still doing damage.
For large groups, simply spamming Fragmentation grenade gets the job done quickly and efficently.
For fighting harder mobs or just a single target, start off with a Corrosive dart, Backstab, shiv, overload shot, then repeat when they are off cooldown for damage. Maxing sure that the Kolto probe buff does not fall off and that you always have Stim boost up. Should you run low on energy, use Diagnostic Scan a few times on yourself or Kaliyo, whoever has damage to them. Every little bit of healing helps and the DS crits will give you energy back as well.
The healing aspect for both encounters is handled by the Kolto and Surgical probes. I start by using one Kolto Injection to get my healing buff up caused by Medical Consult, then I drop 2 Kolto probes on Kaliyo, then pop Stim boost when Tactical Advantage procs off of Medical Engineering.
The start of the fight is done with the healing aspect because you want to make sure that you are procing TA so you can get "free" heals on Kaliyo by using the Surgical Probe while saving your energy for your damage abilities (Backstab, Shiv, Overload shot). Kaliyo is only there to hold agro while you kill the mob. At level you should be able to kill most with 1 Backstab, 1 Shiv, 2 Overload shots on green/yellow enemies.
You can see in the talent tree that I have only a few talents outside the medicine tree that increases the damage of Shiv and Backstab, my main DPS abilities. But aside from that the large majority is in the medicine tree.

There are two types of referrals:
You, as a subscriber, refer a past or present subscriber who has never been referred before. (The page says they can't have been referred within the past 90 days, but unfortunately it doesn't work if they've ever been referred period.)
You, as a subscriber, refer someone who creates an entirely new F2P account with your referral link.
In my experience, #2 rarely works (the system is not very reliable). But when it does, they just get a "Jumpstart Bundle" with a few utility items.
In the case of #1, they get a "Preferred Friends Bundle" with 7 days of free sub time and some utility and cosmetic items.
As for what you get: In the case of #1 for a current sub, and in both cases if they subscribe within 14 days, you get 500 Cartel Coins (one time). For every month they subscribe after the first month, you get 100 Cartel Coins.
