Qualifying Maryland residents must first be diagnosed with one of the debilitating medical conditions listed above. All patients must be evaluated by a state-certified physician, physician assistant, podiatrist, dentist, nurse practitioner, or nurse-midwife and be at least 18 years of age or a minor with an adult caregiver. Qualifying patients also must have a Maryland residency or reside in a Maryland treatment center. Prison inmates can’t use cannabis, but Maryland’s law specifically prohibits a parole or probation officer from issuing a violation for the patient’s legal, authorized medical marijuana use.

A medical marijuana certification may be issued if the patient has a debilitating or chronic disease that causes:

• anorexia,
• cachexia,
• glaucoma,
• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
• seizures,
• severe or chronic pain,
• severe nausea,
• severe or persistent muscle spasms,
• wasting syndrome,
• or another chronic medical condition that is severe and for which other treatments have been ineffective.

This is up to your practitioner. Along with the list of conditions, a practitioner can issue a certification for “another chronic medical condition that is severe and for which other treatments have been ineffective.”

Maryland medical marijuana card holders can access safe, tested medicine with shorter lines and guaranteed availability. Additionally, Maryland medical patients benefit from lower taxes on purchases than recreational consumers, gain access to at-home cannabis delivery, can purchase more products, cultivate additional plants at home, and receive proper medical guidance.

It only costs $109 to get a Maryland medical cannabis evaluation with NuggMD. Save $22 when you pay ahead for next year’s evaluation. Or save $98 to cover the cost of your next three evaluations. And there’s no risk because patients who don’t qualify for the program will get their evaluation for free! After their evaluation, medical cannabis patients are also responsible for Maryland’s $25 state registration fee.

Medical marijuana in Maryland isn’t reimbursable by any private, public, or VA insurance plans at this time. This may change in the future as some states are considering requiring public insurers to cover cannabis, but this is unlikely in Maryland until it is federally legalized or de-scheduled.

Your provider can issue your certification as soon as they have finished your evaluation. Still, it can take the state up to 30 days to review your information and approve your application (although it usually doesn’t take this long).

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for your evaluation if you are approved. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

You’ll only be charged if you’re approved for your medical marijuana certification. If not, your evaluation is free! If you sign up and pay for your evaluation, but then cancel before your evaluation, there is a small $10 fee for the payment processing. You can also change your mind after your evaluation if you wish and request a refund, but you must do so before your certification has been submitted to the state. Once you’ve been certified, a refund for services will no longer be available. Please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue. We want to make sure you’re 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customer, are the most important thing to us! Once a refund has been initiated, please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer back to the card you used for the transaction. A refund is no longer available more than 30 days after the date of your evaluation. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

Of course! You have the right to see the practitioner of your choice for your medical marijuana evaluation, so long as the practitioner is a Maryland-certified physician, physician assistant, podiatrist, dentist, nurse practitioner, or nurse-midwife who has registered with the state as a Certifying Healthcare Provider. All NuggMD practitioners are licensed in the state for which they provide evaluations and have acquired all state-required cannabis training and certifications.

This depends on the state to which you’re traveling. Each state has different rules regarding reciprocity, and some don’t allow it at all. Check with your destination state to learn more.
