The process of qualifying for this program first starts with the Pennsylvania Department of Health. New patients should have your driver's license on hand as you will need to show documentation regarding your current physical address. If you are under 18 years of age or unable to complete this part of the process by yourself, the person who provides you care can help you. Be sure to keep your log in information on hand as you will need to access your profile again once you receive your certification from the doctor. Once you are done, you will need to write down the patient ID number that you receive and bring it with you to your appointment.
Next, you will need to meet with a DOH approved doctor to discuss your medical records. The appointments typically last anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes. During this consultation, the doctor will go through your medical history and diagnosis to determine whether or not you are eligible. If you are, the doctor will provide you with a certification.
You are required to pay a fee of $50.00 before the state will send you your ID card. You will need to log back into your online profile to complete this part of the process. If you have concerns regarding the fee, there is a chance that you may be eligible for a reduced fee if you are on a government benefit program such as Medicaid or SNAP. You will need to pay this fee on a yearly basis and receive a notice in the mail approximately 30 days before your ID is due to expire.
As soon as your ID comes in the mail, you can go to visit one of the designated dispensary centers in the state. It's important to remember that although you can legally purchase marijuana, you cannot do this through just any grower. You can only make your purchase through one of specified locations.
We recognize the fact that our patients want to move through the process of obtaining their Pennsylvania medical marijuana card as quickly as possible which is why our office utilizes telemedicine. In some cases, we may be able to set you up with a same day appointment to talk abut your conditions the same day that you reach out to us. If that doesn't work for you, we will coordinate with you to set you up with an appointment around a day and a time that works best for you.
Your driver's license ID number must be used to register with the state. When you go to your appointment, the doctor will upload your ID number from the system, which will update your records to show that you have been approved for medical marijuana treatment.
Next, you will need to receive certification for a medical marijuana card from a doctor who has been certified with the PA Department of Health. For your convenience, you can schedule a telehealth appointment with one of The Sanctuary’s medical marijuana doctors. Your meeting will be brief, in which you will spend 10 to 15 minutes discussing your health concerns and any questions you might have regarding the use of medical marijuana. If your doctor decides that you qualify, they will give your certification that same day.
Once your physician has certified you, you must log into the account you originally used to register in order to pay the fee to the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Your medical marijuana card will be mailed to the address on your driver's license that you provided when you first registered with the DOH.
You can buy medical marijuana at any dispensary in Pennsylvania once your medical marijuana card arrives in the mail. A preliminary meeting with a dispensary pharmacist is strongly advised.

An email will be sent to you 60 days before your certificate expires reminding you to renew it. Then, you may make an online appointment with any of the licensed medical marijuana doctors at the Sanctuary. Your evaluation will be similar to your original MMJ consultation.
Thirty days before the payment deadline for your renewal, the Department of Health will also send you an email reminder. After that, you may go into your account to confirm that a legitimate payment method is stored there.
