Well, another day of not receiving my card or being able to get through to the 800 line. 95 days since the state received my app. Way over 100 days since my app was mailed out. I'm losing faith.

My caretaker received her card today but I didn't. Thankfully she was able to make it to the dispensary before they closed. We live at the same address. I can't be too mad, just annoyed.

At this point I would be surprised if the delay wasn't caused by USPS. Her card has my id# on it so I know its coming shortly.

My app was received on 8/28, I called today to see if I could get through for an update. Card was approved yesterday and she said it would in the mail either today or tomorrow! 65 days today!!
That’s awesome!!! What place did you go? Or did you do it online?
 
I received my card back in September. I went through Innovative Express Care.

I just received an email from them concerning scheduling a one month post follow up appointment.

I don’t recall this being discussed when I applied and I can’t find any info on the state website.

Is this required? Or just something Innovative Express is trying to push?

I believe you are supposed to be an established patient when they certify your qualifing condition. So them asking to see you again seems very reasonable. I don't think it's required to go but that might be the doctor you need to use for renwal next year.

I can understand their desire to further establish the dr/patient relationship. I just hadn’t heard anyone else with a card mentioning a post card follow up before.

I went through IEC, and I remember them saying something about a post visit, a month after. I thought it was to talk about the dispensary itself, and if the weed is helping your condition

I could have missed it. They were so slammed when I had my appointment, it was a total zoo.
