Medical Marijuana Program

HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

The doctor will certify that you have an approved serious medical condition and are eligible for medical marijuana. It's important to know that this doctor's visit will not be covered by insurance and you would be responsible to pay out-of-pocket at the time of service.

What steps do I need to take to participate in the program as a patient?

​

There are four-steps to participate in the program:

​

  1. Register on the website:  https://padohmmp.custhelp.com/app/login 

  2. See an approved practitioner to get certified;

  3. Pay for your medical marijuana ID card; and

  4. Visit a Pennsylvania dispensary with your medical marijuana ID card.
