Prescription‑style coverage for cannabis is still the exception, not the rule, but patients are pushing insurers to catch up. To help you navigate this shifting landscape, Veriheal has launched new patient support services, providing registered patients with physician‑signed paperwork that can support them through administration challenges, including insurance reimbursement, HSA/FSA claims, or even employer documentation.
What Is the Cannabis Insurance Letter Service?
Veriheal’s cannabis insurance letter service is an on‑demand, telehealth‑based add‑on to its medical card consultation foundation. This state-compliant, physician-signed document delivers a concise, insurer‑friendly confirmation that your cannabis use is legal, under the guidance of a licensed doctor, and abides by state law.
These letters are written and signed by a licensed MMJ physician and verify your active state registration as a medical cannabis patient. Moreover, the letter outlines why medical cannabis is part of your management plan in comprehensive, insurer-friendly language (like CPT‑style phrasing). Once you secure a letter through Veriheal’s digital portal, the document is delivered as a secure PDF, allowing you to share it as you wish and remain compliant with patient safety and HIPAA standards.
In short, a cannabis insurance letter is documentation designed to simplify insurance conversations and support patients through claim appeals and reimbursement requests.
Who Should Use It?
Cannabis insurance letters can be used in a variety of scenarios. While these letters are designed for general support in communicating with your insurance companies, they can be used in the following common scenarios:
-
Insurance Reimbursement – Adds medical justification when filing or appealing a claim.
-
HSA/FSA Spending – Meets many plan administrators’ “doctor note” requirement.
-
Employer Benefit Programs – Supports flexible‑benefit requests or wellness stipends.
-
Tax Deductions – Strengthens paperwork in the event of an IRS review
While generally, medical marijuana is not covered by insurance in 2025, each insurance company’s policies are different. This letter acts as your first line of defense in administrative challenges with your insurance company, providing a clear confirmation that your cannabis use is state-compliant and medically necessary.
