BRING A COPY OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
All patients MUST bring a copy of their most recent medical records documenting their medical condition for our doctor to review. Records MUST be within 2 years of age from each encounter date with Marijuana Care Clinic. The adequacy of records is determined per discretion of clinician. After reviewing your medical records, a Marijuana Care Clinic physician will discuss your symptoms, current and past treatment, and your options for medical marijuana treatment.
COMPLETE YOUR IN-PERSON EVALUATION
Meet with one of our highly trained state licensed medical Marijuana Care Clinic physicians who will review your records and perform a physical exam to determine if medical marijuana can help you. Be sure to bring a valid Florida driver’s license or identification card, and a copy of your most recent medical records documenting your medical condition and treatment history.
SAME DAY REGISTRATION AND APPROVAL!
If one of our Marijuana Care Clinic physicians determines you may benefit from the use of medical marijuana, you will be registered with the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. The staff will assist in completing your application with the Department of Health which has a yearly fee of $77.75. The Medical Marijuana Use Registry will email you an approval notice on the same day and with that email, you will be able to go straight to the dispensaries! You will only get approved on the same day if your Florida drivers license or ID is updated with the Department of Motor Vehicles, otherwise it will take 10 business days to receive an approval. The Department of Health will then send you an official medical marijuana registration card in the mail within the next 3-4 weeks. You must receive your official email approval prior to purchasing medicine at a dispensary.
