The only legal path to cannabis use in Pennsylvania is by having a medical cannabis card. When the state legalizes adult-use sales, having med card will likely offer patients a range of benefits, like reduced taxes, increased purchase limits, and enhanced legal safeguards.

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.

Unfortunately, no. Cannabis is still federally illegal. Most insurance companies don’t want to be liable on a state level for cannabis products. As a result, none currently cover the cost of cannabis or applying to the program.

You can get a Pennsylvania medical card evaluation through NuggMD today. 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.

Certainly! You can get your renewal evaluation through NuggMD whether or not you used us for your previous evaluation. You don’t have to see the same doctor each year; you have the right to see a physician of your choosing.
