An estimate, not a promise. Tax rules vary by state and city, and some states tax medical sales too.

Ways to keep the cost down

  • Ask about reduced state fees

    Many states cut their fee for veterans or people on assistance programs. Check the Rhode Island Medical Cannabis Program.

  • Renew on time

    Renewals are cheaper than starting over, and a lapsed card can mean a new application.

  • Never pay before you're approved

    With us, you aren't charged unless the doctor approves you.

Questions

Is there a separate state fee in Rhode Island?

No — Rhode Island doesn't charge a registry fee.

Do I pay if I'm not approved?

No. We take payment only after the doctor approves you.

Does insurance cover it?

No. Because cannabis is illegal under federal law, insurance doesn't cover the evaluation or the products.
