Bringing a physical copy of your medical records to your appointment is not required but is strongly recommended. Please note, medical records that have been uploaded to a disk or a USB flash drive cannot be accepted. Don’t have access to your records? That’s not a problem! Our office can request records for you.

During your appointment, your Florida medical marijuana doctor will review your intake forms, go over your medical history and answer any questions you might have. If you are approved for a medical marijuana recommendation by your doctor, you will then be assigned a Patient ID Number and entered into the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry. Upon being entered into the Registry, the Florida Department of Health Office of Medical Marijuana Use, or OMMU for short, will email you instructions on how to complete the application and submit your state-required $75 yearly fee. If you experience any issues while completing your application or submitting your payment, please contact the OMMU directly at (800) 808.9580 or [email protected].
