In a perfect world, managing your health with medical cannabis would be as simple as getting certified for a card and going to the dispensary. Unfortunately, the reality isn’t that simple. Patients often find themselves having difficult conversations with employers and law enforcement, trudging through systemic difficulty, and getting denied from social services and other public programs, simply for using a medicine that works for their symptoms.
Veriheal knows the challenges of medical cannabis don’t end with medical cannabis card certification. And in response, they’re launching a new suite of services designed to support patients with everything that comes after.
Launching today, Veriheal now offers state-compliant and physician-signed letters of support and diagnosis summaries to medical cannabis patients. These letters are designed to support patients through legal hurdles by confirming that their medical cannabis use is medically necessary and legal in the state where they’re certified.
Included in this new service rollout are eight options for medical cannabis letters. While each patient’s case is unique, the first rollout of Veriheal’s new patient support services is designed to address common legal or administrative hurdles relating to medical cannabis use. Starting now, patients can request physician-signed letters for support with:
With a cannabis medical letter in hand, patients can confidently navigate complex systems while remaining compliant with the laws in their state.
Veriheal now offers cannabis medical letters signed by your provider to verify lawful medical cannabis use per your state’s laws. These letters are designed to explain that cannabis is a necessary part of your treatment for your health condition under the guidance of your Veriheal physician.
Each of the following eight letters includes confirmation from your physician confirming that your cannabis use is a legal, doctor-supervised medical treatment for a specific condition and respectfully asks the recipient to consider this medical context when making any legal decision. As such, these letters can be used to support parole criteria, confirm possession rights, and assist with employment applications.
A Cannabis Medical Letter for Employer can be used to support HR-related conversations involving your legal use of medical cannabis. In this letter, your physician proves to your employer that you are a legal medical cannabis patient under state law. While the letter does not override company policy or serve as a formal request for legal accommodation, it can both provide context to your employer and act as a first line of defense against cannabis-related challenges at work.
A Cannabis Medical Letter for Possession While Driving confirms that you are legally permitted to carry cannabis in a sealed container in your vehicle per your state’s laws. The letter communicates to law enforcement that medical cannabis is a necessary part of your treatment for your health condition under the supervision of your doctor, which could help your case if cannabis is found in your car.
Similarly, A Cannabis Letter for Possession on Person communicates to law enforcement that you’re legally permitted to carry cannabis according to your state’s laws. This document communicates that the cannabis in your possession is prescribed under the guidance of a licensed practitioner as a legal part of your medical treatment.
A Cannabis Medical Letter for Parole may be used to support communications with your parole officer or supervising authority by confirming that your cannabis use is a state-legal and physician-supervised treatment under active medical care. This document can act as a tool to support a conversation with your parole officer about your medical needs, but it does not guarantee an exemption from parole rules. Rather, it informs the officer that you’re using it as a physician-supervised treatment, not for recreational purposes.
A State Disability Paperwork Assistance Letter may be used to support applications for disability-related benefits. This document confirms that you’re using medical cannabis under the care of a licensed physician for a qualifying condition that limits major life activities, acting as a letter of recommendation alongside your application.
A Cannabis Letter for Insurance may be used to support any relevant reimbursement requests or appeals with your insurance company. The letter confirms that your cannabis use is legal, supervised by a physician, and intended for therapeutic benefit. While your insurance company ultimately has the final say, this letter can support communications.
A Cannabis-Based Medical Diagnosis Summary is a state-compliant document verifying your patient status in your state. Your diagnosis summary communicates that you’re using medical cannabis lawfully under the guidance of a licensed physician for a qualifying condition and that your use is not only legal but medically necessary. This diagnosis summary is designed for general support such as traveling, interacting with law enforcement, consulting with other medical professionals, filing applications, or verifying your patient status with other legal entities.
A Medical Cannabis Social Services Approval Letter serves as official proof to social service programs, like housing or food assistance, that your cannabis use is a legal and medically necessary treatment supervised by your doctor. It is designed to help you verify your status and confirm your use is therapeutic and compliant with state law, which could support your eligibility for public benefits. Your physician can also offer your social services agency the option to verify this information directly, pending your consent.
All of Veriheal’s new patient support letters are available digitally and can be requested directly from patients’ user portal. Because each letter is signed by a licensed physician based on the patient’s active medical cannabis certification, you must be a medical cannabis patient in your state to qualify for these services. If you do not currently have a medical cannabis card, Veriheal is offering a cannabis medical letter with the purchase of a medical marijuana consultation for no extra cost. Once they make a Veriheal account, patients can now sign up for a medical marijuana card consultation and receive their support letter for a discounted bundle rate, as the letter is included for free for a limited time.
This launch is the first in a series of new services that reflect Veriheal’s commitment to holistic patient support. As such, the introduction of cannabis medical letters to Veriheal’s service offerings is a foundational step in the company’s evolution from a certification provider to a long-term partner in wellness and advocacy. Veriheal plans to continue the rollout of its new services later this year, addressing the challenges of medical cannabis use that extend beyond card certification.
