I have several qualifying conditions. Does that guarantee that I'll get my Ohio med card?
No. The law doesn’t obligate marijuana doctors in Ohio to approve patients for medical marijuana. Still, our MMJ doctors will most likely certify you if your health could benefit from medical cannabis.
How is the consultation done? Can I have a video call with the doctor?
Yes. Once you book your appointment, we’ll send you a secure link for your video call when the consultation time approaches. You’ll meet with your physician to discuss how medical cannabis could benefit your health–this generally takes 10-15 minutes. After your doctor approves, you’ll receive your certification via email. It’ll also be available from your Quick Med Cards dashboard.
What happens after I'm approved?
After your doctor issues your certification, they will upload it to your patient account in the Ohio Medical Marijuana (OHMM) Registry. You must then finalize your registration through your registry account.
When will I get my med card in the mail?
The Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program doesn’t send physical medical cards to patients.
Still, your digital medical card will be available for download once you complete your application.
How long is my med card valid for?
Your Ohio medical card will be valid for one (1) year.
I lost/destroyed my med card. How do I ask for a new one?
You can always download your Ohio medical card from your patient registry account as the state doesn’t issue physical cards.
Are there other fees I need to pay for?
With Quick Med Cards, your consultation and certification will cost $45 to $149, the lowest in the state. There’s no state fee for the Ohio medical marijuana card.
