The decision to complete a written certification is the decision of the health care provider. Qualifying patients need to determine what course of action to take, if any. Qualifying patients will need to determine what is in their best interests to obtain the amount of care they believe is necessary. State laws for the Medical Marijuana Program do not prohibit a qualifying patient from establishing care with a different health care provider.

No. However, the requirements for a bona fide provider-patient relationship must be met (please see the bottom of the previous status update for more information on this relationship).

The health care provider's name and email address are confidential.

The Division of Medical Marijuana has provided information to the medical community through a variety of means including conducting presentations at health care facilities, providing information at conferences/seminars, reaching out to professional organizations in the state, having information for health care providers on the Division's website, and responding to emails and phone calls from the medical community. The Division will continue these outreach efforts.

In addition, dispensary personnel are also attempting to reach out to the medical community to provide beneficial information, discuss dispensing operations, and answer questions related to products and dosing. Ultimately, whether or not a health care provider is willing to complete a written certification is the decision of the health care provider.
