Arizona Medical Marijuana Doctors: What ADHS Requires

MMJ.com has temporarily paused Arizona appointments while the state reviews telemedicine rules for medical marijuana certifications. The information below describes how Arizona physician certifications work under A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 28.1 and ADHS rules; it is not an offer to book.

Looking for a medical marijuana doctor in Arizona? Any certifying physician must hold an active Arizona Medical Board, Board of Osteopathic Examiners, naturopathic, or homeopathic license and must complete the ADHS Physician Certification Form for your ADHS registry application.

Our Arizona Physicians Are:

  • State-Licensed - Active licensure with Arizona Medical Board or Board of Osteopathic Examiners
  • ADHS Registered - Approved to issue medical marijuana certifications per A.R.S. § 36-2801
  • Cannabis Specialists - Trained in medical cannabis evaluation and treatment protocols
  • ADHS Form Compliant - Complete every attestation on the ADHS Physician Certification Form, including the physical examination date

What to Expect During Your Arizona Telehealth Evaluation

Your Arizona telehealth evaluation runs 15 to 20 minutes on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video call with an Arizona Medical Board or Board of Osteopathic Examiners-licensed physician who is registered with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to issue medical marijuana certifications under A.R.S. § 36-2801.

The Clinical Discussion

The physician reviews the qualifying condition you are seeking certification for, your symptom history, and any treatments you have already tried (prescription medications, physical therapy, OTC pain management, surgical history). They then determine whether medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment option for your specific case.

Medical Records: Helpful But Not Required

Uploading prior records from a primary-care provider, specialist, or hospital speeds the discussion, but ADHS does not require records to issue a certification. If you do not have records, the physician can establish your qualifying condition through the consultation itself, based on your reported symptom history and the clinical interview.

After the Visit

If approved, your physician certification is issued immediately and emailed to you. The physician also submits the certification to the ADHS Medical Marijuana Program for your patient registry application. If the physician determines you do not qualify, no charge is applied (100% money-back guarantee on the evaluation fee).

FAQ

Common Questions About Arizona MMJ Cards

Who is qualified to certify me for an Arizona medical marijuana card?

An Arizona MMJ certification must be issued by a physician licensed by the Arizona Medical Board (MD) or the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners (DO) who is also registered with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Medical Marijuana Program. MMJ.com only contracts with physicians who hold both credentials. Naturopaths and homeopathic physicians registered with ADHS may also certify under specific A.R.S. § 36-2801 provisions.

What happens during a telehealth MMJ evaluation in Arizona?

The visit runs 15 to 20 minutes on a secure HIPAA-compliant video call. The physician reviews your qualifying condition, symptom history, treatments you have already tried, and any uploaded medical records. They determine whether medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment option for your specific case under A.R.S. § 36-2801. If approved, your physician certification is emailed to you immediately, and you complete your ADHS patient registry application at azdhs.gov/marijuana.

Do I need medical records to be approved for an Arizona MMJ certification?

No. ADHS does not require prior medical records to issue a certification, and our physicians can establish a qualifying condition through the consultation itself based on your reported symptom history and clinical interview. If you do have records (a recent specialist consult, imaging report, ER visit, or treatment plan), upload them through the patient portal before your visit. Records can speed the discussion but they are not a gatekeeper.

How quickly do I receive my physician certification after the visit?

Same day. If the physician approves you during the visit, the signed Arizona Medical Marijuana Program certification is emailed to you immediately at the end of the appointment. You then complete the ADHS patient registry application online, pay the state fee, and ADHS issues your patient card within approximately 10 business days of a complete submission.

What if the physician determines I don't qualify for an Arizona MMJ certification?

MMJ.com offers a 100% money-back guarantee. If the physician concludes you do not meet a qualifying condition under A.R.S. § 36-2801 and does not issue a certification, the $149.99 evaluation fee is refunded in full. You only pay when you receive an issued certification.
