Veriheal Expands Support for MMJ Patients With Official Documentation
Your state MMJ card lets you buy and possess cannabis—but insurers, employers, disability programs, and even border agents often ask for deeper proof. To bridge that gap, Veriheal now offers the Veriheal diagnosis letter. This physician-signed medical cannabis summary validates why cannabis is in your treatment plan, without exposing your whole medical chart.
