Kentucky charges a $25 annual fee for both patient and caregiver medical marijuana card applications. This fee is separate from the cost of your medical evaluation and follow-up appointments. NuggMD offers low-cost, risk-free Kentucky medical cannabis evaluations: you get approved for medical cannabis or you get your money back.

Cannabis, whether medical or recreational, remains federally illegal. Therefore, most insurance companies won’t cover cannabis-based treatments. Rescheduling or descheduling may change this in the future.

Getting a Kentucky medical marijuana card evaluation with NuggMD is fast and easy. The state can take up to 30 days to process your application, and your medical card will be issued electronically upon approval.

With NuggMD, if you’re not approved, you’ll be refunded automatically. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

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.
