ToggleHow Do You Know When it's Time To Renew Your Medical MJ Card in Missouri?
You can get your card renewed in Missouri within 60 days of the expiration date on your MMJ card.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services suggests you apply for MMJ card renewal no less than 30 days before your card expires.
Because the department has 30 days from submission to process an application, submitting a renewal after the 30-day window could mean a short period of not having a valid card.
How to Renew Your Missouri MMJ Card: Step by Step
Learning how to renew a medical card MJ in Missouri online is straightforward, as the process is nearly identical to getting a first-time certification.
There are two parts to a renewal application: receiving medical cannabis certification from a doctor and submitting your application to the state.
And Elevate Holistics will help you with both steps.
Here’s how to easily renew your medical card in Missouri with our expert team.
Step One: Get Approval from Your MMJ Doctor
The first step of renewing your Missouri medical marijuana card is getting MMJ approval from a licensed medical marijuana doctor.
Each time you renew a medical card, medical cannabis approval from a doctor is required. Don’t worry, with Elevate Holistics, our online doctor’s appointments are hassle-free.
To get an MMJ approval from a doctor, you must book a Missouri renewal appointment through Elevate Holistics.
Patients can select any date and time for their virtual doctor’s appointment, which can take place anywhere on a phone or computer.
The cost of the physician certification form for a Missouri MJ card renewal is $80.
This gets you a virtual, video-chat doctor’s appointment with a certified physician for medical marijuana approval.
Once our doctors have approved you for renewal, we’ll send you an updated physician’s recommendation that you will use for the next step.
Step Two: Renew With the State
Within 30 days of receiving your doctor’s recommendation from Elevate Holistics, you must submit your Missouri medical marijuana card application to the state through the DHSS Complia Portal (Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services).
This entails filling out your state application, submitting your patient documents, and paying the state fee of $27.76.
If you want to make the renewal process even easier, select “full-service application completion” under add-ons when booking your online doctor’s appointment, and the Elevate Holistics team will set up your state application for you.
Through the “full-service” option, we’ll create your state account, ensure all information is correct, and register you with the state.
The only thing you’re required to do is pay the final fee and submit your application – and we’ll let you know exactly how to do that and when it’s time.
Missouri MMJ Card Renewal FAQ
When it comes to figuring out how to renew a medical marijuana card online, there are common questions among medical patients.
Here are a few frequently asked questions regarding a medical marijuana card renewal in Missouri.
How Long is a Missouri Medical Marijuana Card Valid?
A Missouri medical marijuana card is valid for three years. Once the state legalized recreational cannabis, the Missouri medical marijuana program extended the validity of the cards from one year to three.
This means that you don’t have to worry about renewing your medical MJ card in Missouri for several years.
Can I Renew My Missouri Medical Marijuana Card After the Expiration Date?
After a medical marijuana card’s expiration date has passed, patients will simply book an appointment for first-time MMJ certification.
Since renewing your Missouri medical marijuana card costs less than a first-time certification, we suggest that medical marijuana cardholders renew before their card expires.
