The total cost of an Iowa medical card ranges from $175-$300 depending on which provider you choose and whether you qualify for a reduced application fee from the state. At QuickMedCards we offer affordable online consultation with a certified medical marijuana doctor in Iowa for only $149, including the signed Certification form if you’re approved. In addition, the IDPH charges a $100 fee for processing your Iowa medical card application, unless you’re eligible for the $25 reduced fee. For the reduced fee, you must provide supporting documents, for example, an SSDI notice, SSI receipt, Iowa Medicaid member card, or Hawk-I member card.

Yes. To get an Iowa medical marijuana card, you must be a resident in the state and be eligible for the Iowa Medical Cannabidiol Program. You’ll need to apply for a medical marijuana card, which will prove your status as an eligible marijuana patient in Iowa. When applying for the Iowa medical card, you must upload proof of residency. For example, a copy of a valid Iowa driver’s license, Iowa ID, current Iowa motor vehicle registration, or a recent utility bill.

As a medical marijuana patient in Iowa, you will need to renew your medical card in addition to your marijuana recommendation annually. You should start to think about renewing when you get a notification from the IDPH 60 days before your medical card expires. To renew, simply book a follow-up appointment through QuickMedCards before your marijuana certification expires. As soon as you get your new certification from our medical marijuana doctor, you can apply to renew your Iowa medical card online through the patient application portal.

Yes, you can use your Iowa medical card in other states that offer reciprocity, such as Arkansas, Hawaii, Maine, and Oklahoma. However, in some states like Hawaii and Oklahoma patients need to register for an out-of-state medical card. Because of varying reciprocity laws, we recommend you research the rules of the state that you plan to visit.

You can get an Iowa medical card as an adult patient (18 years of age or older) or as a minor patient (below 18 years old). It’s important to note that minor patients must have a caregiver apply on their behalf. In most cases, the caregiver will be a parent or legal guardian. Minor patients (under 18 years old) and any adult patients who need a caregiver will need the caregiver to complete a separate caregiver registration application.
