What is a Bona Fide Physician-Patient Relationship?
Criteria for establishing a bona fide physician patient relationship
- Evaluate the patient in person, review their relevant medical records, and complete an appropriate examination.
- Create and maintain a medical record that demonstrates the patients qualifying condition.
- Offer to notify the patient’s primary care doctor.
- Make a reasonable effort to follow up with their patients to evaluate the efficacy of their medical marijuana treatment.
After you see our cannabis doctor for a medical marijuana evaluation and receive a signed certification from the doctor, you can register with the state and receive a patient registry card valid for 2 YEARS. A follow-up with the doctor is necessary to establish a bona fide doctor-patient relationship and a Section 8 defense. (as required by HB 4851 Bona Fide Relationship.)
We recommend scheduling your medical card renewal within 1-3 months before your medical card expires.
