Medical insurance does not cover medical marijuana consultations; however, our consultation fee includes the complete medical evaluation: the physician’s office visit, review of medical records, and documentation of necessary paperwork with New York State. Note that this fee does not guarantee registration, there are certain patient criteria that must be met.
