$20 Medical Marijuana Evaluations for Lindenwood Park

Telemedicine may allow eligible Lindenwood Park residents to complete the medical certification portion of Missouri's patient process from home when a remote appointment is clinically appropriate.

Some medical cannabis providers may advertise consultations starting at approximately $20.

That advertised amount generally refers to the provider's evaluation service and should not be confused with Missouri's separate patient registration fee.

During an online appointment, the patient provides relevant health information and meets remotely with an eligible Missouri physician or nurse practitioner. The medical professional reviews the patient's circumstances and decides whether medical cannabis certification is appropriate.

When a patient qualifies, the certification is submitted electronically. The patient must then complete Missouri's separate patient application within 30 days of the medical professional's certification date.

After the state approves the application, the patient can access the digital medical marijuana identification card through the online registry.

For Lindenwood Park residents near Hampton, Watson, Chippewa, Jamieson, I-44, and the surrounding residential areas, telemedicine can reduce the need to travel to another part of St. Louis simply to complete the medical evaluation.

Paying for an appointment does not guarantee that a patient will be certified or approved. The medical professional determines whether certification is medically appropriate, while Missouri makes the final decision on the patient's state application.
