Every day, the staff at The Healing Clinics fields many questions from patients and those interested in the medical marijuana program in Louisiana. In this article, we will look at a few of the most frequently asked questions and, hopefully, you’ll find answers here too.
WHO QUALIFIES FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA?
Louisiana allows any debilitating condition to qualify a patient for a medical marijuana evaluation. Examples of qualifying conditions include insomnia, PTSD, anxiety, cancer, seizures, pain, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, glaucoma, and muscle spasms, ANY debilitating medical conditions qualifies a patient for a medical marijuana evaluation.
WHO EVALUATES ME?
Since marijuana is still federally illegal, most physicians and major healthcare facilities choose not to become involved in the marijuana industry due to banking, insurance and other issues, including credit card processing. If a provider co-mingles money from marijuana evaluations with their regular practice income, insurance and certain other institutions have the authority to freeze accounts related to marijuana. Credit card processors generally do not allow charges for marijuana evaluations, further complicating payments. Also, premise liability and workers comp carriers are required to be notified if a provider is involved in marijuana-related services. It’s also important to note that health insurance does not cover marijuana related charges due to lack of federal legality, which could compromise Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. The Healing Clinics specializes in medical marijuana evaluations and we are setup to make the process as easy and convenient as possible.
