Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need medical records to get approved?
No. Our board-certified doctors evaluate you based on your symptoms and what treatments you've tried. If you have a condition affecting your daily life and other treatments haven't worked, you likely qualify. Medical records can help if you have a complex history, but most patients don't need them. Just be honest about what you're dealing with - that's enough.
Will my employer or insurance company find out I have a medical marijuana card?
No. Your HIPAA-compliant medical marijuana records are completely private. Only you, your doctor, and the state registry can see them - your employer and insurance company have zero access. Your medical cannabis certification is treated like any other private medical record. The only exception is federal jobs (TSA, DEA) or commercial driving licenses where cannabis is a federal disqualifier, but that's not a privacy issue.
What happens if the state rejects my application?
We fix it for free. States reject applications for tiny mistakes like wrong dates or blurry photos, then make you wait another 2-4 weeks to resubmit. We've handled 45,000+ applications, so we know every rejection reason and fill everything correctly the first time. If something does go wrong, we investigate and fix it at no cost. You only get refunded if you're missing required documents like a valid ID - and we'll tell you that upfront before you pay.
What's the difference between getting approved by a doctor and actually receiving my card from the state
The doctor gives you a recommendation - that's just a piece of paper. Your actual medical marijuana card comes from the state after you register through their government portal. Most services stop at the doctor part and leave you to figure out confusing state websites on your own. We log into the state portal for you, fill out all the forms, upload your documents, and track everything until your card arrives. You get the actual card, not just a signature.
Is this legitimate? How do I know you're not a scam?
We're A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau - one of the only legitimate online medical marijuana card services with this verification. Our doctors are state-licensed and you can look them up yourself before your appointment. Here's the real proof: if the doctor doesn't approve you, you don't pay, and if the state rejects your application after we handle it, we fix it free or refund you. Scammers don't offer that.
