LK·03 Our standards
What we'll do, and what we won't.
Take real time
A live visit of 20 to 30 minutes with a licensed physician.
Promise a card
No "guaranteed approval", no "instant card", no outcome refunds.
Make health claims
We don't say what cannabis will do for you. Your physician talks about your care.
A diagnosis is needed, not enough. Each state keeps its own list of qualifying conditions. Your physician checks your records against it, and still decides whether certification is right for you.
No approval promised
LK·04 Fees
The fee is for the visit, not the result.
The same fee whatever the physician decides. State fees are paid to the state.
New evaluation$139
Records review and a live visit. Same fee, any outcome.
Renewal$99
When your certification or recommendation is due.

Paid to Pennsylvania, not to us.
LK·05 Questions
Asked, answered straight.
Will I get a card?
No one honest can promise that. A licensed physician decides after reading your records and talking with you, and the state issues the card.
Can my first visit be by video?
In Pennsylvania and Ohio, yes. In Florida the first certification needs an in-person exam, at our Tampa office; renewals can be by video.
What if I'm not certified?
Your physician explains why in plain words, and what records might help if you'd like a second look later. The fee is the same either way.
Do you sell cannabis or recommend products?
No. We evaluate. Products are chosen with the staff at a state-licensed dispensary.
