Step One: Medical Record Collection
The first step in the medical marijuana application process is extensive documentation of your medical condition. Without current and verifiable medical records, our physicians will be unable to certify your condition under Massachusetts law. Although there are conditions where a patient will qualify for the Massachusetts Medical Marihuana Program without the necessity of full documentation, the Boston Medical Marijuana Certification Clinic (BMMCC) requires that all your records are current within the last 12 months that document your qualifying condition.
Step Two: Physician Review
Upon receipt of your medical records, the physicians thoroughly review the records to determine if you qualify for the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Program. If additional documents are required for the review, a staff member should contact you and let you know which documents are needed for our records. If you qualify for the program, call to schedule an appointment with one of the companies above.
Step 3: Certification Appointment
At your certification appointment, the doctor will talk with you about your qualification for certification of a medical condition that may qualify you for the Massachusetts Medical Marijuana Programs license, along with the physician visit fee., usually $200 depending on the company.s medical marijuana application fee.
