I love this place. They are professional, polite, and fast. They stay in contact and guide you through the whole process, from start to finish. I won't go anywhere else. 
Very stress-free process you all have done for me. Highly recommend. I'll be renewing my card through y'all in the future. I appreciate all the work done from your end I'm not tech savvy 😆 
Great Experience! Times for Doctor visit was convenient and had a wide range suitable to my schedule. Doctor visit was short and to the point. I opted for the extra fee to do the state's application and was impressed by how fast they were able to get my application submitted. Thanks for your service. 
First-time user. Much easier than the previous company used... Doing it all online and FaceTime is so much more convenient... Not to mention about half the price of the previous company. I highly recommend this company... if they could walk me through it, just about anyone can use this site.

You can begin the renewal process up to 90 days before your card’s expiration date. Renewing early is strongly encouraged to avoid any gap in access.
No. You can use any Pennsylvania-licensed certifying physician, including the Elevate Holistics physicians who handled your original certification. You are not required to return to the same doctor.
Yes, the renewing physician will confirm that your qualifying condition is still present and ongoing. This is a brief review, not a full diagnostic workup. In most cases it takes only a few minutes of your 15-minute appointment.
No. An expired card is not valid at PA dispensaries. This is why renewing well before expiration matters. Once your new physician certification is submitted and you update your state profile, your card is active again immediately — there is no multi-week wait.
This page is for existing Pennsylvania cardholders renewing their card. If you are applying for the first time, see the cross-link below.
You renew by completing a new physician certification through a registered PA MMJ doctor, then logging into the state patient portal at patients.mmapply.pa.gov to submit your renewal application and pay the $50 state fee.

- A valid Pennsylvania ID or driver’s license

- A working camera and microphone for the telehealth visit
PA MMJ cards are valid for one year from the date of issue. You must renew annually through the state patient portal.
Start at least 30 days before your card expires to avoid a gap in access. Elevate’s telehealth renewal appointments are typically available within 1–3 business days.
