Frequently AskedĀ Questions
What is a medical marijuana evaluation?
A medical marijuana evaluation is a consultation with a qualified physician to determine if a patient qualifies for a medical marijuana recommendation based on their medical condition and symptoms.
Do I need a referral from my primary care physician to get an evaluation?
No, a referral is not typically required. You can schedule an appointment directly with our office for your evaluation.
What conditions qualify for a medical marijuana recommendation?
Qualifying conditions vary by state, but they often include chronic pain, epilepsy, cancer, glaucoma, and other serious illnesses. Check with our office or your local regulations for a specific list.
How long does the evaluation take?
The evaluation typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes, but it may vary depending on the patient’s medical history and specific needs.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring a valid photo ID and any relevant medical records or documentation that supports your condition.
If I'm approved, how soon can I access medical marijuana?
Once approved, you’ll receive a recommendation or certification which can then be used to apply for a medical marijuana card. The time it takes to receive your card varies by state, but once you have it, you can purchase medical marijuana from a licensed dispensary.
Does your practice accept insurance for the medical marijuana evaluation?
No, our practice does not accept insurance for medical marijuana evaluations. This is a common practice in many medical marijuana clinics due to the fact that most insurance companies do not cover the evaluation or the cost of medical marijuana itself. Patients are advised to check with their insurance providers regarding coverage details, but for our services, payments will need to be made out-of-pocket. We provide clear pricing information up front, and our staff is available to discuss any financial concerns you may have.
Is the evaluation confidential?
Yes, patient confidentiality is a priority. All medical records and discussions during your evaluation are private and protected under HIPAA regulations.
If I don't qualify for a recommendation, will I be refunded for my evaluation?
Our office typically doesn’t provide refunds if you don’t qualify. It’s important to have a clear understanding of the qualifying conditions before scheduling your evaluation.
How often will I need to renew my medical marijuana recommendation?
The medical cannabis certificate requires annual renewal, while the orders need to be renewed every 7 months.
Can I use my medical marijuana card from another state?
It depends on state regulations. Some states have reciprocity agreements that recognize out-of-state medical marijuana cards, but not all do. Check with local regulations or contact our office for specifics.
How do I schedule an appointment?
To schedule an appointment, simply fill out the appointment request form on our website. Once we receive your information, a member of our team will get in touch with you to confirm a suitable date and time for your evaluation. We aim to make the process as seamless and convenient as possible for our patients.
