No. MMJ.com physicians can certify you based on your video consultation and self-reported medical history. Bringing prior diagnosis records, treatment notes, or a prescription list can strengthen your case but is not required for most qualifying conditions.

If your physician feels supporting documentation would help your specific case, they will let you know during scheduling. Newer or harder-to-document diagnoses tend to benefit most from records.

Documentation requirements vary by state and physician clinical discretion.

Your MMJ.com video evaluation takes 10-15 minutes face-to-face with your physician. The full process (registration, brief health questionnaire, video consultation, and certification email) typically wraps up in about 30 minutes. Same-day approval is the norm, not the exception.

We collect the brief intake questionnaire before the call so your physician can review your information beforehand and keep the consultation focused and efficient.

Every physician on MMJ.com is a board-certified MD or DO with an active, unrestricted state medical license, current DEA registration, and authorization from the state medical board to certify patients for the medical marijuana program. We verify every credential before a physician sees a single MMJ.com patient.

Verification includes medical school graduation, board certification, state license status, NPI number, and disciplinary history. Each physician's NPI and license numbers are listed on their public profile so you can independently verify them.

Credentials verified through state medical board public license lookup systems.

No. The certifying physician must hold an active medical license in your state and, in most states, be specifically registered with the medical marijuana program. Many primary care doctors decline to certify because of federal scheduling concerns or lack of cannabis training. MMJ.com only contracts physicians who specialize in cannabis medicine and meet every state requirement.

We handle the credentialing, state registration, and continuing-education requirements, so patients are always matched with a fully authorized certifying physician. There is no need to call around looking for one yourself.

Physician registration requirements per individual state medical marijuana program regulations.

Every MMJ.com physician's NPI number and state license numbers are listed on their public profile so you can independently verify them through your state medical board's online lookup tool before your evaluation. We refuse to onboard any physician with an active disciplinary action.

You can confirm any credential through official state-board databases. Internally, we re-check active license status quarterly to maintain platform-wide compliance.

License verification available through state medical board public lookup systems.

MMJ.com is telehealth-only. Your evaluation happens by secure HIPAA-compliant video from home. In states that authorize telehealth (which is now nearly every state we serve), telehealth evaluations are legally equivalent to in-person visits for cannabis certification, and most patients prefer the convenience and privacy.

Telehealth follows the same clinical standards as an in-person visit: history review, condition discussion, and certification determination by a licensed physician. The differences are convenience, same-day availability, and zero travel time.

Telehealth parity is established by state-level laws in nearly every state MMJ.com serves.

No. Health insurance does not cover MMJ.com evaluations because cannabis remains federally Schedule I. The flat $149.99 evaluation fee is out-of-pocket. HSA and FSA acceptance varies by plan administrator. The dispensary tax savings a medical card unlocks (10-30% in most rec states) typically offsets the evaluation fee within a few months of normal purchases.

We accept all major debit and credit cards, plus HSA/FSA cards from many administrators. Our 100% money-back guarantee means if you are not approved, you pay nothing.

Insurance coverage limitations stem from federal cannabis scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act.
