How do I set up an appointment with MMEC?
Setting up an appointment is simple! Give us a call at 800.268.4420 or email us at info@marijuanamedicine.com.
Do I need to be referred to MMEC by another Doctor?
No. MMEC accepts anyone who feels they can benefit from Medical Marijuana.
Do I have to pay the fee if I do not receive a recommendation?
No, your fee will be returned to you if you do not receive a recommendation.
If I get a marijuana recommendation will my name be on a state or federal list?
Absolutely not! Your records will remain safe and confidential with us. We consider your privacy the utmost importance.
Does MMEC accept insurance?
As of right now, MMEC does not accept insurance. Veterans and people with Medi-Cal or Medi-Care cards may receive a discounted price.
Can you tell me the process of getting a recommendation?
Patients will have to fill out a patient history form along with some other documents and disclosures. You must provide a valid state issued CA ID or Driver’s License prior to examination. Once your paper work is ready to go and you have paid your MMEC fee, then you meet with the Dr. to get your recommendation. If you qualify you will leave with everything you need that very same day.
What medical documentation should I bring?
Please try to bring some kind of documentation when you come in for an appointment. This includes: actual records, prescriptions, physician’s letter, chiropractor’s letter, x-rays, MRI’s or any other documentation that you think can help.
How do I get my physician to send me my records?
Call your doctor or the hospital where you were treated and tell them you want to request your medical records. They will tell you the process and typically have you sign an authorization to fax to them.
What happens if I have never seen a doctor but I know medical marijuana will help my condition?
MMEC can still see you and a doctor may offer you a temporary recommendation with conditions that you must meet within a specified timeframe, typically 3-6 months.
What happens if I've lost or cannot retrieve my records or documentation?
MMEC can still see you and a doctor may offer you a temporary recommendation with conditions that you must meet within a specified timeframe, typically 3-6 months.
Do I have to pay twice if I only receive a temporary recommendation?
No, your fee is for one year of service with the physician.
Do I have to be 18?
Yes. You must be at least 18 to be a patient of MMEC.
If I become a medical marijuana patient, where do I get my marijuana from?
MMEC cannot help you purchase medical marijuana in anyway. This includes advising where to get it from. There are numerous organizations and publications that can help you with that.
What exactly do I get if I receive a recommendation from MMEC?
You will get an original and a copy of your physician’s recommendation. You will also receive a MMEC ID card to help you with dispensary and caregiver verification. MMEC will provide you with an education folder for even more information for you to take home.
How long will the recommendation last?
Our recommendations are for one year. At that time you need to come see us again and the physician will re-evaluate you.
