Supporting Documentation For a Medical Marijuana Card
It is important to have supporting documentation of your condition with you when you go to see your doctor. Supporting documentation is important for our providers to make an educated decision during the evaluation process for the safest outcome. Most places will accept all forms of supporting documentation and/or new and existing medications that have been used to treat the condition prior to the qualifying appointment. You may need to access your medical records which your primary care doctor should be able to help you with as well.
Registration With the State of Maryland
Registration with the state of Maryland is necessary for us to complete the process and issue you a certificate for medical cannabis. Please follow the steps carefully to avoid any further delay.
1) You will need a valid email to check immediately after registering. (we can use our office email if needed)
2) You will need a government-issued photo ID preferably with Maryland address.
3) You will need to take a photo of yourself against a white background. (smartphone can be used to take pictures and process applications)
Once you have completed registration you should receive an email asking to verify that your email is correct. It will take 10-45 days for the state to process and issue your MMCC ID# which we will then use to issue your certification.
Certification Appointment to Receive Medical Marijuana Card
During your certification appointment, your doctor will assess any supporting documents, medication, and new patient forms in regard to the condition you are seeking cannabis. If you are a registered or qualifying patient, you will then receive a signed Physician Certification Form that will allow them to visit any of the dispensaries located in the state of Maryland. In order to receive the Physician Certification Form, a patient must show proof of Maryland residency and pay the physician’s visit. Most insurance companies do not cover medical marijuana consultations or state fees at this time.
