Overview of the Massachusetts Medical Process
After your virtual visit with CED Clinic’s healthcare provider, the medical component of your card (the doctor “certification”) part is complete.
Massachusetts also requires that you complete a brief online application so that they can mail you a state-sponsored plastic license, which gives you access to MA dispensaries (and others that offer reciprocity) for 365 days. Both of these two parts of the MA license (the doctor visit and the state registration) must be renewed annually. Pediatric patients, biannually.
