Book your evaluationWhy patients in Livonia use telehealth for this
Livonia skews older than most of Metro Detroit, and that changes the shape of the conversation. Patients here are more likely to be managing several conditions at once, more likely to be on a long medication list, and more likely to have a question that matters far more than eligibility: how does this interact with everything else I'm already taking?
That question deserves a real answer rather than a reassurance. Bring your full medication list to the visit — everything, including over-the-counter products and supplements, not just prescriptions. Interactions and contraindications are a genuine part of this evaluation, and they're a common reason a physician concludes that certification isn't appropriate for a particular patient. Being thorough with the list is the single most useful thing you can do before the appointment.

Who actually issues the card
We don't. The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) does. Michigan's medical marijuana program is administered by the Cannabis Regulatory Agency, which took over the functions previously handled under LARA. The state — not this clinic — issues the registry card and sets its own processing times. If the physician certifies you, we file the certification on your behalf — but we can't promise a date, and nobody who tells you otherwise can either.
Questions from Livonia patients
I take several prescription medications. Is that a problem?
It's exactly what the physician needs to know about. Bring a complete list — prescriptions, over-the-counter products and supplements. Interactions and contraindications are part of the evaluation and can be a reason certification isn't appropriate.
I'm not comfortable with video calls. Can someone help me?
Yes. A family member can set up the call and stay with you, and that's very common. You'll get a link by email or text — there's no app to install.
Does Medicare cover this?
Cannabis certification evaluations are generally not covered by Medicare or private insurance. This is a self-pay service and the full fee is shown before you book.
Should I tell my regular doctor?
We'd encourage it. Your other providers can only manage your care properly if they know what you're taking. The physician can discuss the best way to raise it.

Every visit happens over video, so these pages differ only in the local rules and circumstances that apply where you live. We serve patients across all 36 — see the full list on the Michigan page.
This page is general health information, not medical advice, and reading it does not create a physician–patient relationship. Certification under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MCL 333.26421 et seq.) requires a qualifying condition, determined by a licensed physician exercising independent clinical judgement. No one can promise you will qualify, and your fee pays for the physician's time and judgement rather than for any particular outcome. Michigan's program rules change; confirm current requirements with the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA). Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, and a state registry card does not change federal law, override an employer's policy, or affect federally regulated testing requirements. In a medical emergency call 911. For mental health crisis support, call or text 988.
