Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Program
How to Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's Medical Marijuana Program requires patients to work with a state-certified physician to obtain certification before they can register for a medical marijuana ID card and visit a licensed dispensary. At Falcon Urgent Care, Dr. Agarwal guides patients through this process from start to finish.
Here is how the process works:
- Register with the state. Before your appointment, you will need to create a patient account with the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Medical Marijuana Program at padohmmp.custhelp.com.
- Consult with Dr. Agarwal. During your appointment (in person or via telemedicine), Dr. Agarwal will review your medical history and qualifying diagnosis documentation. If approved, she will certify you through the state's system. The consultation fee is $175.
- Pay for your card. Once certified, log in to your state account to pay the $50 card fee. Your medical marijuana ID card will be mailed to you by the state.
- Visit a licensed dispensary. With your card in hand, you can purchase medical cannabis from any Pennsylvania state-licensed dispensary.
To prepare for your appointment, please bring documentation of your qualifying diagnosis. This can be a letter from a treating physician, relevant medical records noting the diagnosis, or an existing prescription for the condition.
