Your status must be “Awaiting Cannabis Certification” prior to your appointment. Call us if you need help or have any questions!
After your appointment, your provider will submit your paperwork to the state. This is typically done on the same day as your appointment. Once complete your status will change to “Awaiting Payment”.

Additional Medical Marijuana Resources:
The cost of getting your medical card is $200 for your initial evaluation followed by $125 for each annual renewal. The state also includes a $15 fee for registration. If you require submission for compassionate use (you are under 21 or do not meet a qualifying condition) there is an extra $100 charge.
Initial Evaluation ($200): This appointment must be completed in person. The state has recently changed the rules and an initial evaluation is now good for 1 year.
Renewal ($125): This appointment can be done via telehealth if done by the same initial provider
Expired Renewal ($200): This appointment can be done via telehealth.
Renewal Transfer ($125): This appointment must be completed in person. Although it is similar work to an initial appointment, we charge $125
