How Much Does a Medical Marijuana Card Cost in Ohio?

Ohio Physician Evaluation Cost

The Quick Medical Cards one-year evaluation option for Ohio is $144. This is the clinician evaluation price, not a state card or license fee. Approval, certification and symptom improvement are not guaranteed.

State Fees Are Separate

After your physician submits your recommendation, follow the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) registry instructions to complete registration and access your digital patient card. Confirm any current registration charge in the official registry; it is separate from the Quick Medical Cards evaluation fee.

Check the Ohio official state fee guidance for current amounts and payment options.

What Else Might You Pay For?

Dispensary products, obtaining outside medical records, and services outside the evaluation may have additional costs. Do not assume insurance will reimburse the evaluation or product purchases; ask your plan about coverage.

Renewal and State Validity

Ohio renewal requires a new physician recommendation and renewal through the Registry. Follow the expiration date in your account and the state's renewal instructions, generally beginning within 30 days before expiration. An expired registration may require a new recommendation before you can renew.

Official Program Requirements

Program guidance checked October 29, 2026. Confirm current requirements with Ohio's official patient program before relying on fees, eligibility or registration instructions.
