Medical Marijuana Card FAQ

A:

Full Service Medical Card

For our online

Full Service medical marijuana card option, the patient will schedule an appointment and answer our online medical questionnaire on our HIPPA Compliant platform filling us in on all their relevant medical history  we don’t require your medical history because when you schedule an appointment we will be making you a rock solid new history for our state licensed doctors to view.

After this is complete the doctor will simply call the patient on the phone and discuss their state qualification.  Immediately following we will pay the patients $40 state fee and, finish the rest of the process for them. If the patient qualifies their Medical marijuana card will arrive via email the same day.

Basic Service Medical Card

For our online Basic Service medical option, it is the same initial appointment process.  The difference is you the state fee is not included and, the patient will be setting up their own account on the MRA website and, submitting all their own information.  Once the appointment is scheduled, we email a guide to complete this process.  As long the patient submits the application the same day as their appointment and they have a state approved qualification, they will receive a medical marijuana card via email the same day.

In Person appointments will be done at either our Grand Rapids office or our Wixom office depending on which location is selected.  In-person appointments will follow the same process but, in a face-to-face licensed doctor patient setting.  we also offer walk-ins.  Walk-ins are ONLY welcome during in-person clinic hours posted on our contact page 

In-Person appointments are also eligible for same day medical cards via email if you are suffering from a state approved qualification.

A: Denials happen less than 1% of the time with our online medical cards because our licensed physicians would never certify a patient who doesn’t have a state qualifying condition, so it is extremely rare.  Furthermore, the majority of denials come from mailing your physicians certification in through the mail, which is only if you’re not planning to submit via the MRA online portal after an in-person appointment, and here is why. 

A denial means there was an error in your paperwork. Don’t worry!  We will take care of this issue for you.  Come into our office during clinic hours and we will file a resubmission. 

Almost everyone submits their paperwork via the online portal, or pays for full service so we submit it for them.  Moreover, this is typically a problem of the past.
