$20 Medical Marijuana Evaluations for St. Louis Hills

Telemedicine may make the medical certification portion of Missouri's process more convenient for eligible St. Louis Hills residents when a remote appointment is appropriate.

Some providers may periodically offer medical marijuana evaluations beginning around $20.

This promotional amount refers to the provider's medical consultation and is separate from Missouri's patient identification card application fee.

During a virtual evaluation, an eligible Missouri physician or nurse practitioner reviews the patient's relevant medical history and circumstances before determining whether medical cannabis certification is appropriate.

If the patient qualifies, the provider submits the certification electronically. The patient must then complete the separate Missouri application while the certification remains within the required 30-day period.

Once Missouri approves the application, the patient can retrieve the digital medical marijuana ID through the state's online system.

For people living near Francis Park, Hampton Avenue, Chippewa Street, Willmore Park, or surrounding St. Louis Hills neighborhoods, telemedicine may eliminate the need for a separate trip elsewhere in the city solely for the certification appointment.

Paying for an evaluation does not guarantee certification or approval. The medical professional determines whether certification is appropriate, while the state determines whether the patient identification card will be issued.
