1. Physician evaluation fee

A Florida-licensed physician must certify that you have a qualifying condition. Most telehealth providers — including MedicalMarijuanaCards.us — charge a flat fee in the $99–$199 range, which typically includes a money-back guarantee if you do not qualify. In-person evaluations at clinics can run higher, often $150–$250.

2. Florida state registration fee

The Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) charges a state registration fee of $75. This fee is paid directly to the state, not to a physician or telehealth service, and is generally non-refundable once the application is submitted. Florida processes complete applications in about 10 to 30 business days.

3. Dispensary pricing

This is where most patients spend the bulk of their cannabis budget. Florida dispensary pricing varies by product, potency, and brand, but typical retail ranges look like this:

Florida permits these forms: flower, edibles, oils, vapes, topicals, capsules; no home cultivation. Possession is capped at limits set by certifying physician (typically 35-day supply, up to 2.5 oz of smokable).

Is the physician evaluation fee separate from the state fee in Florida?

Can I get a fee reduction on my Florida medical marijuana card?

Many Florida program rules offer reduced fees for veterans, SSI/SSDI recipients, and Medicaid enrollees. Check the Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) hardship-fee policy for the current discount list and required documentation.

How often do I pay the Florida state fee?

+

The fee is due at each renewal. Florida cards renew every 7 months (recertification with physician), so you will pay $75 on that schedule.
