how much medical records do you need to get your card?

I got mine in WA, and it didn't really take much.. Long as you have a few reports saying you have pain etc, and have gone through something to give you an injury you should be fine. If you have MRI report and it is all legit you should be getting your card easily...


This was all in WA, however, hope it helps!

Thanks!! I hope you're right!

Find another primary if they are that GD nosey. Otherwise, get a massage therapist to request your medical records so it doesn;t look suspicious.

In Oregon they don't want your medical records they just want a statement which you can download from the internet with an MD's signature stating you have intractable pain, uncontrolled nausea and vomiting, cancer or any debilitating disease.If you just send your medical records your wasting your time.

Bullwinkle, where can you get the download from?

the more you have the better it is. something that states over a period of time(better if its over 3 months)you've had pain. of artritis or something that ales your body

its not true and my clinic told me they aren't even faxing med records anymore due to some people stealing the OMMP app and forging a dr sig on there from online with a good printer. Best advice I can give is do your own legwork, your doc can't charge you for you to request a copy of your records, take those in. Also you have to have been seen per your qualifying condition within a year of your visit, last year this was a sticking point for some reason, even with me using the weed doc as my primary, lmfao, go figure. Whatever you do, don't tell your reg doc bout the mmj doc, they don't get along well out here, and they'll lable you as a stoner unless you are debilitated very badly. IBS, and some of those weak excuses, lmfao, will get you a second glance and a few more questions, I'd stick with the degenerative back disease and go on, JMHO And Im on disability with multple impairments along with my back disease and its still not easy peasy.

For the record, if you request records from your primary that aren't stored onsite they can and will charge you for them.

In other weirdness I received a letter from Ommp on my recent renewal paperwork that they were going to contact my primary to confirm my records. A little bs since I didn't wanut my primary involved at all.

its worth twenty bucks to have them in your hand, whatever it takes. IMHO, and I didn't get that request on my renewal form, but if I was a guessin man, I'd say your OMMP doc has come under scrutiny for some reason or another. My first OMMP doc was a legit doc, LMFAO, but he got caught foolin around with the nurses AND patients, went a year with restrictions and then lost his license. And that was one of the larger clinics statewide that used him the whole time until he completely lost his license. It made me wonder bout the clinic also, but you have to use somebody to get legal. Yea, if I was a contract pain patient with somebody, I'd be worried bout them finding out about your OMMP status, as most in this state aren't kosher with it, state law or not. IME

Totally agree about the cost being well worth it. In my case they needed to pull X-Rays and chart notes from a few years back when I was in a car accident. After a couple years they move those records to a file storage company. The records onsite were free.

I'm lucky that I'm not in a pain contract or at risk of one. But it seems so stupid to be at the mercy of some bureaucratic government agency for this. Wish it would just be legal for me to grow for any reason I felt like...
