How Much Does a Florida Medical Marijuana Card Cost in 2026?

The short answer: $250 total for new patients — $175 for your physician evaluation at CSG Med, plus a $75 state fee. Renewals cost $175 ($100 + $75). Here's everything you need to know.

The Full Cost Breakdown

Getting a medical marijuana card in Florida involves two separate fees:

What Is the $75 State Fee?

The $75 fee is charged by the Florida Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) — the state agency that issues official medical marijuana cards. You pay this fee online when you submit your application on the OMMU website after your physician evaluation. It goes directly to the state and is separate from what you pay your clinic.

This fee is non-negotiable and the same regardless of which clinic you use. The OMMU now accepts credit card payments, making the process easier than it used to be.

What Does the Physician Evaluation Fee Cover?

The physician evaluation fee ($175 at CSG Med) covers:

• A consultation with one of our board-certified, state-licensed physicians
• Review of your medical history and qualifying condition
• Same-day registration with the Florida Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) if approved
• Staff guidance through the OMMU application process

Evaluation fees vary by clinic. Most Florida clinics charge between $150–$250. At $175, CSG Med is among the most affordable options in the Orlando area — without cutting corners on care.

How Much Do Renewals Cost?

Florida law requires patients to see their certifying physician for a renewal evaluation every 210 days (about every 7 months). The state card itself renews annually.

At CSG Med, renewal evaluations are $100 — plus the $75 state annual renewal fee. That's $175 total per renewal cycle.

If you need two physician renewals per year (as the 210-day requirement can require), your annual ongoing cost is approximately $275–$350/year depending on timing.

Does Insurance Cover a Medical Marijuana Card in Florida?

No. Health insurance — including Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans — does not cover medical marijuana evaluations or the state registration fee. These are entirely out-of-pocket costs. This is true in all states where medical cannabis is legal, as marijuana remains federally classified as a Schedule I substance.

How to Get the Lowest Price on a Florida Medical Marijuana Card

The $75 state fee is fixed — you can't lower it. But you can save on the evaluation fee by choosing an affordable, local clinic over a national chain. Here's how to keep costs down:

• Choose a local clinic like CSG Med — $175 vs. $200–$250+ at some national providers
• Ask about discounts — some clinics offer reduced rates for veterans, seniors, or patients on fixed incomes
• Stay current on renewals — letting your card lapse means starting over as a new patient
• Transfer your care — if you're overpaying elsewhere, you can transfer to CSG Med for renewals at $100
