Under Nebraska's medical cannabis regulations (238 NAC 1), an enrolled practitioner issues two documents: a written recommendation stating that the potential benefits of cannabis outweigh the potential harms, and a written order naming the product, dosage, potency and dispensary. The state publishes no template; both are sent electronically to the patient's dispensary and to the Commission, with a copy for the patient.
A health care practitioner who primarily practices in Nebraska and is enrolled in the Recommending Health Care Practitioner Directory completes both documents after an in-person appointment. Until a patient registry is funded, the patient and any caregiver also complete a form that the practitioner signs and sends to the Commission.
The issuer sets what the letter or report must contain; check its current rules before you write it.
Medical Cannabis Written Recommendation and Written Order
There is no form to fill: the program asks for a letter or report with the content it sets. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you write it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Only a health care practitioner who primarily practices medicine in Nebraska and is enrolled in the Commission's Recommending Health Care Practitioner Directory. Enrollment asks for name, license number, work address, practitioner type and an attestation of education, and must be renewed every year. A practitioner can issue a written order only for a patient whose recommendation they wrote.
Not yet. The program came from the 2024 voter initiatives, and in October 2026 amendments to the regulations were still in formal rulemaking, with manufacturer licensing expected in early 2027, so dispensing was not operational. The Commission continues to operate under the current regulations, approved in mid-2026, until new rules take effect.
Yes. Under 238 NAC 1, a patient must attend an appointment in person to receive a written recommendation or written order. The recommendation must attest that the patient met the practitioner in person, and each written order must attest to an in-person meeting within the last twelve months.
