A medical marijuana card is the only way to legally obtain and consume cannabis in Pennsylvania. When the state eventually legalizes adult-use cannabis, having a med card will still have added benefits. Med patients have lower taxes, increased purchase limits, and heightened legal protections.

NuggMD offers a no-risk Pennsylvania medical card evaluation for one of the best rates you can find. Even better, if you don’t qualify, your evaluation is free. MMJ patients are also responsible for Pennsylvania’s $50 state registration fee after the evaluation.

The short answer is no, not at this time. Cannabis is still illegal on the federal level and not yet regulated by the FDA. As a result, most insurance companies won’t cover the cost of medical cannabis. 

You can get a Pennsylvania medical card evaluation through NuggMD the same day you sign up. However, the state can take up to three weeks to approve your application and supply your card in the mail.

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for the evaluation if the state gives approval. Ensuring access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor is our top priority, and we believe the cost of the evaluation should never be a barrier to getting the care you need.

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@www.nuggmd.com with the subject line “Refund Request” and a brief description of your issue. Patients won’t receive a refund for failure to follow through with their certification process once the practitioner completes the certification requirements. It is the patient’s responsibility to complete their certification. If you’re stuck or having trouble completing your certification, please reach out to customer service and our agents will help you through the process. 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.

Yes, you can! Using NuggMD’s services to renew is your choice, even if you initially saw a different doctor. You aren’t required to see the same doctor every single year, and you can choose any cannabis doctor certified in Pennsylvania.

That depends on the rules of the state you’re visiting. Each state has its own set of regulations about medical cannabis reciprocity. To get more insights, research the medical marijuana program of your destination state. 

No. You must possess a Pennsylvania driver’s license or state ID card to get a medical card. Refer to the state’s patient guide for a detailed list of required documents.

Whether in Allentown or a different PA city, individuals with medical cannabis prescriptions can buy up to “192 medical marijuana units” within a 90-day span.

However, medical patients can take advantage of curbside pickup at licensed dispensaries in Allentown, secure transportation from their homes to the dispensary, or designate a caregivers to pick up and deliver their cannabis.

Cannabis patients pay zero cannabis taxes for products. It’s one of several perks to possessing a medical cannabis card in Pennsylvania.
