At Releaf MD, we keep our pricing simple and transparent. Our initial evaluation fee is $189, doctor transfer consultations are $150, and subsequent renewal / follow-up assessments are $125. Because health insurance does not cover medical cannabis or clinical evaluation fees, these charges must be paid directly to the clinic.
Complete Cost Breakdown
To maintain legal access to medical marijuana in Florida, you must budget for three distinct cost categories:
1. Clinical Evaluation Fees
Required every 30 weeks (210 days) by the state. This includes your physician consultation, creation of your custom treatment routes, and clinical support. Releaf MD offers straightforward pricing with no hidden charges.
2. State Registry ID Card Fee
Paid directly to the Florida Department of Health. This fee is $75.00 and must be paid annually when you apply for or renew your digital registry card.
3. Retail Dispensary Prices
Varies based on the products and brands you choose. Smokable flower typically ranges from $20 to $50 per 1/8th ounce, concentrate cartridges are $30 to $60, and oral edibles are $15 to $25 per package. Most Florida dispensaries offer veteran, senior, and first-time patient discounts to help lower costs.
No Hidden Administrative Charges
Some high-volume clinics charge patients extra fees to change recommendation routes or increase dosage limits. At Releaf MD, all registry changes, dose updates, and personalized education are included in your standard evaluation fee.
Evaluation vs. Dispensary Pricing Strategy
When budgeting, remember that your clinic evaluation fee secures your clinical legal status, while dispensary purchases are made as needed. We recommend checking dispensary menus online to compare product costs before visiting.
