Florida Medical Marijuana Card — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an in-office visit?

Yes. The initial physician examination must be completed in person. After that initial visit, follow-up renewal evaluations with the same physician may be completed by phone or telehealth when permitted by Florida law.

How often do I need a physician evaluation?

Florida law requires an existing patient to be evaluated by the certifying physician at least once every 30 weeks, approximately seven months, before a new physician certification.

Can renewals be done by phone?

After the initial in-person examination, subsequent renewal evaluations may be done through telehealth. Florida's OMMU confirms that telehealth may include an audio-only telephone call.

How long is the Florida state card valid?

The Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry identification card is separate from the physician certification and must be renewed annually through the OMMU.

What is the state card fee?

The OMMU currently lists a $75 state processing fee for the patient identification card. This is separate from any clinic visit fee; confirm current fees with the state before applying.

Does the appointment guarantee a card?

No. Certification depends on an individualized physician evaluation, and the state card is issued through a separate OMMU application process. Neither eligibility nor card issuance is guaranteed.
