The
total cost for a Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC), charged by a
county program, will include a state portion and a county portion of the fee.
Senate
Bill 420 (Chapter 875, Statutes of 2003) requires the California Department of
Health Services (CDHS) to establish application fees for persons seeking to obtain,
renew or replace identification cards. The
state’s portion of the fee is required to be sufficient to cover the expenses
incurred by the CDHS, including start up and other costs.
Likewise, each county program may add their costs to the total fee, to
support expenses incurred by the county program.
The state portion of the fee is currently set at $13.00 per
card through March. Starting April 1 the state portion will be $66.00 per
card for non Medi-Cal and $33.00 per card for Medi-Cal.
The established fees will vary by county. Please
contact your county
program to find out what the total
cost for a MMIC is in your county.
