Multi-State Telehealth Evaluation Practice
Dr. Patel conducts medical marijuana telehealth evaluations under each of his active state medical licenses. Through MMJ.com he sees patients in ten MMJ.com service states: Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Each evaluation is performed under the license number applicable to that patient's state of residence.
Two of these states carry program-specific rules. In Arkansas, state Medical Board Rule 38 requires a new patient's initial certification to be conducted in person, so MMJ.com positions Arkansas telehealth for renewals. Texas operates the Compassionate Use Program, which covers low-THC medical cannabis (up to 1% THC by weight), a narrower framework than most other state programs. Dr. Patel conducts evaluations in each state consistent with that state's requirements.
For patients outside Dr. Patel's licensed states, MMJ.com routes the evaluation to a different physician on the roster who holds an active license in the patient's state of residence.
