Recertification
How to Renew Your Marijuana Medical Card
If Dr Sam did not certify you before, he can now! And, what’s even better is that he can perform certifications over the phone/telemedicine without you having to leave your house.
If this is your first time doing a RECERTIFICATION with Dr Sam or you are a returning patient, please follow these instructions to renew your medical card.
Our office phone hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-430pm and Friday 10am-2pm. Holiday hours are posted on our Google business listing.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A PENNSYLVANIA MEDICAL CARD, CLICK ON “SET UP INITIAL CONSULTATION” TO COMPLETE STEP 1 AND STEP 2
Are you a completing a RECERTIFICATION? (If you NEVER had a card, go to SET UP INITIAL CONSULTATION). When we receive your form, Dr Sam will contact you in 1-2 business days.
Other Medications
You may have been certified by another physician in the previous year. We do need to maintain a medical record when Dr Sam re-certifies you. We simply need to know what medications you are taking to ensure no adverse interactions with medical cannabis.
Fees for Your New Annual Medical Marijuana Card
- Once you pay Dr Sam for the recertification consult, you will be renewed/re-certified. You will need to log into your PA Dept of Health MJ Account by clicking on the link HERE
- You will have to pay the state the annual card fee of either $50 (or $0 if you receive SNAP/Medicaid/PACE).
- If you have moved or your address has changed, please visit “PROFILE SETTINGS” with the State Dept of Heath site and update your address.
- If your LAST NAME has changed, you MUST call the state Dept of Health for them to change the name in your state patient account – 888-733-5595
- If you do not pay the state the annual card fee BEFORE the day you were previously certified, your card will be inactive until the expiration date printed on your card.
- If your card does not arrive 7-10 business days after Dr Sam has recertified you AND you have paid the state the annual card fee, you will need to call the state Dept of Health to see when they mailed your card and to which address. Their number is 888-733-5595. Once our part is complete we cannot see what the state does on their end.
For Example
You were certified on 6/5/2023 for your medical card. It expires on 6/10/2024. If you do not pay the annual card fee on 6/5/2023, when you go into a dispensary they will tell you that your card is inactive. Once you pay that fee, it will again become active until the expiration date.
