While Rhode Island just recently legalized recreational cannabis in 2022, medical patients are able to access unique benefits that aren't available to recreational consumers. One important benefit of getting a med card in Rhode Island is being able to obtain the assistance and guidance of medical professionals and caregivers.

NuggMD isn’t available in Rhode Island yet, but once it is we’ll charge some of the most accessible rates in the state. As of 2022, there is no fee to apply for a medical cannabis card in Rhode Island. There is a $10 fee for replacement cards. The fees associated with your doctor's visits are dependent upon your medical health coverage.

Cannabis is still federally illegal. Because of this many health insurance companies will not cover the costs associated with medical cannabis treatment.

NuggMD does currently not offer its services in Rhode Island. Upon submission of your application, the state can take up to 10 days to process your application.

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. 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.
