A patient must indicate to a certified physician that they are electing you to serve as a caregiver for them. The physician will then create your profile in the Patient & Caregiver Registry. If the patient is a minor, they must have a caregiver.
Confirm and complete your registration for the program through the Patient & Caregiver Registry (see “Completing Caregiver Registration” video on the MMCP website). NOTE: Caregiver registration will be activated after approval by the Board of Pharmacy.

Follow the instructions found in the Quick Reference Guide – Registering With Indigent Or Veteran Status. PLEASE NOTE: If a patient does not qualify for veteran or indigent status, their caregiver will not receive a registration fee reduction, even if the caregiver qualifies for special status.

Individuals seeking to qualify for a reduced registration fee due to a special status should not submit payment for their registration fee until their status, or the status of the patient they are associated with, is approved by the Board of Pharmacy.

The registration fee will be reduced once the Board receives necessary documentation and approves the special status. The Board will not issue any refunds for registration fees paid before special status approval.

The link found in the activation email will be active for 90 days. However, the link can only be accessed once.

No. By clicking the link in your activation email, you will be asked to create a password for your Registry profile. Once you create your password and choose your time zone, you will be logged into your Registry profile.

No. Only caregivers who have been linked to a patient by the patient’s physician and have had their registration approved by the Board of Pharmacy are eligible to purchase medical marijuana on behalf of their patient(s).

Only if a patient registers using their caregiver’s email address. In that scenario, the patient’s registration cannot be activated until after the caregiver’s registrant profile is created, the caregiver is linked to the patient by the physician, and the caregiver’s registration is approved by the Board of Pharmacy. Otherwise, all registrants must use a unique email address for their account.

Individuals registering as a patient should use a trusted email address that can be easily accessed.
