FAQ

Common Questions About Illinois MMJ Cards

Who is the Illinois medical cannabis doctor on MMJ.com?

Illinois evaluations on MMJ.com are conducted by Dr. Johnathan Miller, MD, licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act (410 ILCS 130), a physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician assistant with a bona fide relationship with the patient may sign the certification that IDPH requires.

What does the Illinois telehealth evaluation cover?

About 15 minutes by secure audio-visual video. Dr. Miller confirms a debilitating condition on the IDPH list, reviews your treatment history and current medications, discusses whether cannabis is clinically appropriate, and then completes the Illinois physician certification. The certification is delivered to you the same day for your IDPH Medical Cannabis Patient Registry application.

Does Illinois require an in-person exam before the doctor can certify me?

Illinois requires a bona fide provider-patient relationship, which the certifying provider establishes through a full assessment of your medical history and condition. Illinois telehealth law allows that assessment by interactive audio-visual video, which is how the MMJ.com visit is conducted; the provider decides during the visit whether the information available supports a certification.

What do I do with the certification after the Illinois visit?

Log into the IDPH Medical Cannabis Patient Program portal, complete the patient application, upload the physician certification, your Illinois ID and proof of residency, and choose your card term: 1 year ($50), 2 years ($100), or 3 years ($125), with reduced fees ($25 / $50 / $75) for veterans and patients receiving SSDI or SSI. IDPH issues a provisional access letter while the full card is finalized.

Can the Illinois doctor renew an existing IDPH card?

Yes. A renewal uses the same 15-minute video visit and the same certification form. Book it once your IDPH account shows Pending Renewal (90 days before expiration); 410 ILCS 130/70 directs patients to submit the renewal application at least 45 days before the card expires so the new card is issued before the old one lapses.
