What are Florida’s qualifying conditions?
Each state has its own set of “qualifying conditions” for medical cannabis, and some don’t require medical proof that you have it.
If you don’t see your condition listed, you may still qualify under a related condition or symptom. And there’s no risk to you: if you aren’t approved by your NuggMD practitioner, you get your money back.
Take our free quiz to find out if you’re likely to qualify.

FAQs About Medical Cannabis in Florida
To qualify for a Florida medical cannabis card, you’ll need to be a permanent or seasonal resident with a qualifying condition diagnosed by a licensed Florida physician. Florida requires your first evaluation to happen in person, and NuggMD makes it easy to connect with a qualified physician near you. Once you’re approved, your physician adds you to the state registry and you can apply for your Registry ID card.
A NuggMD medical cannabis evaluation in Florida is $148.
NuggMD patients can pay using their FSA. Insurance companies aren’t required to cover the cost of medical cannabis products or the state evaluation, but it’s possible that insurance companies begin to cover more costs for patients now that medical cannabis has been rescheduled to Schedule 3.
Florida requires an in-person visit for your first recommendation, and NuggMD connects you with a nearby doctor, often for a same-day appointment. Once you apply, the state typically approves applications within 7 to 21 days and emails you a temporary card you can use at dispensaries right away. Your physical card arrives within about 6 weeks.
With NuggMD, you get your money back if you aren’t approved. For any other questions about NuggMD’s refund policy, contact our customer care team for support. 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.
No, Florida law requires a valid government-issued Florida ID or driver’s license to obtain a medical cannabis card. The state doesn’t recognize medical cards from other states, regardless of if that state has identical qualifying conditions and regulations.
While having records that document your qualifying condition can help your physician make a decision, they aren’t necessarily required. Your certifying physician will confirm your eligibility during your evaluation.
Florida requires your first evaluation to happen in person, but NuggMD makes it easy to book with a nearby doctor, often the same day. After your visit, the rest is online: you’ll apply through the state’s registry, and once approved, a temporary card arrives by email so you can start shopping right away.
Your Registry ID card is valid for one year, and you can renew it with the state for $75 up to 45 days before it expires. Your physician certification lasts up to 210 days, so you’ll check in with a qualified physician about every 7 months. With NuggMD, established patients can do these recertification visits online.
