Connecticut Medical Marijuana Doctors Online: Telehealth Evaluations & Renewals

Connecticut evaluations on MMJ.com are conducted by Dr. Johnathan Miller, MD, a physician licensed in Connecticut and registered with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) as a certifying provider. Under Chapter 420f, a physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse may issue the written certification; the provider must be registered with DCP for the certification to post to your account.

A 10 to 15 minute audio-visual video visit. The provider confirms you have a qualifying debilitating condition under Conn. Gen. Stat. 21a-408, reviews your medical history and current treatment, discusses whether medical cannabis is appropriate, and then submits the certification electronically to DCP. There is no paper form for you to upload.

Since January 1, 2026, Public Act 25-101 lets the certifying provider choose a duration of 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, or 2 years, starting on the date the certification is signed. Your provider selects the period during the visit based on your clinical picture; DCP processes certifications issued for one year normally and the other durations under the new law.

No. DCP charges no fee to register a patient or caregiver in the Medical Marijuana Program. The only cost is the $149.99 MMJ.com provider visit. Once DCP processes the certification, your registration certificate is emailed to you and can be reprinted from your BizNet account.

Public Act 25-101 also allows a licensed dispensary pharmacist, in person at a dispensary facility or hybrid retailer, to grant a one-time extension of an expired certification for up to 90 consecutive days (fee up to $25, patients 18 and older). That bridge covers you while you complete a new certification visit with your provider.
