Releaf Medical Patient Transfers
Are you searching for a medical marijuana doctor near me for a patient transfer or related cannabis card services? Releaf Medical is South Florida’s preferred clinic for cannabis card services and medical marijuana treatment. Patients will need to determine if they are a “transfer patient” or a “re-evaluation patient.” The difference between the two types of services is explained directly below. Patients can also speak to a Releaf Medical staff member directly by calling our medical marijuana clinic at 561-778-5323 or via email at [email protected].
Transfer Patient
A transfer patient is a medical marijuana treatment patient that has already been evaluated by a medical marijuana doctor, has active recommendations, and an active cannabis card. If a patient is not satisfied with their current medical marijuana doctor, the amount of milligrams that the marijuana doctor has provided for an allowance, or the delivery routes provided by the physician then a transfer patient service is required. Releaf Medical transfer patient services include the following:
- Medical marijuana doctor evaluation
- Covers the remaining months of medical marijuana recommendations within the original timeframe set by the previous marijuana doctor. This DOES NOT include an extension in the timeframe for the existing recommendations
- All medical marijuana delivery routes included
- Route adjustments to recommendations with an increase in milligram allowance, if required
Re-Evaluation Patient
For medical marijuana treatment patients that are ending their seven month recommendations but would like to switch their marijuana doctor they would be considered a re-evaluation patient. The state of Florida requires existing medical marijuana treatment patients to be re-evaluated every 210 days, 7 months, by their medical marijuana doctor to meet and discuss their personal treatment program. Releaf Medical provides re-evaluation appointments for patients that did not initially come to our medical marijuana clinic. Re-evaluations include the state required follow up appointment, all recommendations and delivery routes for 7 months, and increases for recommendations if necessary. For more information about a re-evaluation appointment please visit our “Re-Evaluation” page of our website.

Cannabis Card Patient Transfer Process
1. Evaluation
The first step in the transfer patient process is an evaluation with a state certified medical marijuana doctor. This patient transfer evaluation will need to be conducted in person at the Releaf Medical marijuana clinic. When arriving at Releaf Medical marijuana clinic patients will have filled out the standard state required medical marijuana use forms, which are HIPPA compliant, that have previously been sent to the patient via email. The patient can also fill out these forms at the time of their appointment. These HIPPA compliant forms will be made part of a patient’s medical records. The office staff at Releaf Medical will review these forms to make sure they are filled out correctly. After these forms have been reviewed patients will have a complete and comprehensive evaluation examination with a medical marijuana doctor. During this examination the marijuana doctor will discuss a patient’s personalized treatment plan and history to determine if the patient qualifies for medical marijuana treatment in the state of Florida. Patients are also able to discuss why they are choosing to find a new physician and if the marijuana doctors at Releaf Medical will be able to provide them with the solution that patients are looking for. The process is risk free, if our marijuana doctor is not able to provide patients with the recommendation for the use of medical marijuana or unable to provide the medical marijuana treatment program the patient is specially looking for then there is no fee!
2. Recommendations & Registration
Second, after the state certified physician determines that a patient’s debilitating or chronic medical condition meets the Florida Department of Health requirements for medical marijuana use the doctor will then provide a new recommendation for medical marijuana treatment. This recommendation process is similar to writing a prescription, but the word prescription falls under federal guidelines and medical marijuana is only legal on a state level. A medical marijuana recommendation is a statement from a marijuana doctor that expresses that in their professional view medical marijuana treatment would be beneficial to a patient’s specific chronic or debilitating medical condition. The patient’s previous treatment plan will be reviewed and adjusted at this time to best serve the requirements of the specific patient and to correct the issues the patient experienced at the previous physician’s clinic. Patients will then be directed by a member of the Releaf Medical staff on how to log in their MMUR profile and remove their current physician. After patients have completed their patient transfer evaluation appointment, discussed their marijuana treatment program, and removed their current physician on their MMUR profile the marijuana doctor will register the patients new recommendations with the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. Recommendations provided by Releaf Medical marijuana clinic are typically for 7 months and include all marijuana delivery routes. These recommendations allow medical marijuana patients to purchase products at any licensed dispensary in the state of Florida. Releaf Medical will contact patients in regards to scheduling future re-evaluation appointments to prevent any lapse in treatment.

3. Visit A Florida Dispensary
The third and final step is an easy one, visit any Florida dispensary and purchase products! Now that patients have completed their patient transfer evaluation by a marijuana doctor they are able to visit any of the many Florida dispensaries immediately, as long as your cannabis card is valid. Medical marijuana treatment patients are able to place orders at dispensaries by physically going into the medical marijuana treatment center, also known as a dispensary, or by placing the order online. Patients can either pick up the order at the local dispensary or schedule a delivery, most dispensaries do offer delivery. At Releaf Medical we recommend that all patients go slow and take advantage of the patient discounts that are available when patients renew their Florida cannabis card or get re-evaluated by their marijuana doctor! Patient discounts will be explained at the time of a patient’s appointment and can also be viewed on the dispensary overview pages of our website. Remember, everyone is different, so experiment and find the best dosage amounts and delivery methods that work for you as a patient and your specific condition. The staff at Releaf Medical is available six days a week for our patients, so please do not hesitate to call or stop into our medical marijuana clinic if you have any questions or would like to review your medical marijuana treatment plan. No more grief, just relief!

Why Switch Your Medical Marijuana Doctor
When medical marijuana treatment became legal in Florida many patients acted quickly when looking for a medical marijuana doctor near me and went to a physician they found online that they were not familiar with. Or maybe they went to a marijuana doctor that was suggested by a friend without doing any research. Whatever the situation or case might be, medical marijuana treatment patients in the state of Florida have the right to change their marijuana doctors at any time. The staff at Releaf Medical hears a lot of reasons why medical marijuana treatment patients switch to our clinic, below are some of the most common.
Short Recommendation Time Frame
The state of Florida allows marijuana doctors to provide recommendations for medical marijuana treatment from 1 to 7 months. The amount of time a marijuana recommendation is valid for is at the physician’s discretion. At Releaf Medical we typically provide patients with recommendations for the maximum amount of time allowed by the state of Florida, which is 210 days, or 7 months. There are medical marijuana clinics operating in Florida that provide patients with recommendations for a shorter period of time solely for financial gain. These clinics will then charge patients for each re-evaluation appointment, rather than provide the full 7 months at the time of a patient’s initial evaluation.
Hidden Cost & Upcharges
Be careful when searching for cannabis card services. Low prices for a medical marijuana doctor don’t necessarily mean a good value and typically will have hidden costs associated with getting full recommendations. There are seven medical marijuana delivery routes and at Releaf Medical we provide our patients with access to all the delivery routes for one upfront cost. The pricing at Releaf Medical also includes an increase in milligram allowance if necessary for our patients. Other medical marijuana clinics advertise lower rates, but those rates do not include all the marijuana delivery routes and come with low milligram allowances. These clinics will then charge an additional fee to make any adjustments to the routes or milligrams.
Clinic Or Physician Disappeared
The state of Florida requires existing medical marijuana treatment patients to be re-evaluated every 210 days, 7 months, by their medical marijuana doctor to meet and discuss their personal treatment program. If patients have not been contacted by their clinic or doctor prior to this 7 month period it could potentially mean that physician is no longer licensed with the state of Florida or the clinic has gone out of business. It is in the patient’s best interest to find a reliable marijuana doctor near me to continue their medical marijuana treatment. The staff at Releaf Medical will contact our patients prior to this 7 month expiration to remind them of their re-evaluation appointment. Releaf Medical offers consistent and convenient appointment availability. Some of our competitors do not contact the patient prior to the 7 months to schedule a follow up appointment or they provide services through satellite offices with extremely limited scheduling availability.
Unprofessional & Unknowledgeable Staff
Medical marijuana in the state of Florida is a relatively new industry and is constantly evolving. Marijuana clinics are opening at a very fast rate without hiring and training staff properly. This combination can result in poor customer service experiences and lack of knowledgeable information provided to the patient. At Releaf Medical marijuana clinic our staff is committed to providing the highest standard of personalized medical care. From the moment a patient steps into Releaf Medical, they can be absolutely sure that our staff is there to guide and support their choice to consider medical marijuana treatment. During our patients appointments our staff will focus on providing answers to all questions and determine how medical marijuana treatment may best benefit a patient’s specific situation.
