Getting a Medical Marijuana Card
Before Your Appointment
-
Consider if you are a good fit for a MM card. It may be helpful to review our Appropriate Candidates for a MM Card page before proceeding.
-
If you believe that you are an appropriate candidate, please make sure that you have a documented diagnosis from your medical or mental health provider.
-
Complete your state registration at the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission website and pay your card registration fee ($50). This is a state fee. It is not a fee set by iHEAL.
How To Make An Initial Evaluation Appointment

You can call to schedule an appointment (410) 864-0211.

You can also use the Book an Appointment link. Complete the form and then we will call you to confirm your appointment time and take payment over the phone.
***Please note that you will need your insurance card information when you make your appointment. If you are paying out-of-pocket, you must pay the initial appointment fee ($200) before securing an appointment. This fee includes all of the services listed on our MM Card Program Specifics page.
