Patients Need Support Beyond the MMJ Card
A state MMJ card lets you buy and possess cannabis, but disability reviewers often ask for formal medical documentation that explains why cannabis is part of your care plan. Veriheal’s disability assistance letter gives you a concise, physician-signed summary that reviewers can understand at a glance—no digging through your entire chart.
Overview of the New Disability Letter Service
The Veriheal disability assistance letter is a one- to two-page, physician-signed PDF created via telehealth. It’s formatted for disability files and includes:
Diagnosis & brief history
Symptom-management rationale for adding medical cannabis
VA and veterans’ assistance (when a clinician summary is requested)
Related supports (housing, transportation, Medicaid coordination)
If a program uses urine drug screens that report cannabis metabolites (e.g., tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid (THC-COOH), your letter provides context for medically authorized use.
Veriheal’s disability support letter is a physician-signed summary that explains your qualifying condition, functional impact, and why medical cannabis is part of your management plan for disability reviews.
Who Qualifies For A Disability Support Letter From Veriheal?
Any medical-cannabis patient who completes a Veriheal telehealth visit and needs formal documentation for SSDI/SSI, state disability programs, workers’ comp, VA, or related agencies qualifies.
