Connecticut Medical Marijuana Physician Decertification

When a Connecticut certifying physician concludes a patient should stop the palliative use of marijuana, this one-page form asks the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) to decertify them. DCP then tells the patient, and any caregiver, that the certification is no longer in effect. The patient has 30 days from that notice to provide a new, valid certification before the registration is rescinded.

Who completes it

Only the patient's certifying physician may use it, entering their name, Connecticut medical license number and mailing address, the patient's name and date of birth, two yes-or-no answers and a brief statement explaining why, then signing and dating it.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Mail, email or fax it to the Department of Consumer Protection, Attention Medical Marijuana Program; type or neatly print all required sections.

Good to know

  • If another physician certified the patient, this form cannot be used; DCP asks you to raise your concerns with that certifying physician instead.
  • The physician signs under penalty of law (Connecticut General Statutes 53a-157b) that the information is true, and DCP may contact the physician to confirm it.
  • The current form is dated February 2017 and asks whether, in the physician's professional opinion, the patient should discontinue palliative use of marijuana.

How this list is checked

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I decertify a Connecticut medical marijuana patient I did not certify?

No. The form may be used only by the physician who certified the patient. If you have concerns about a patient certified by a different physician, DCP asks you to address them with that physician, who can decide whether to file a decertification.

What happens after a Connecticut physician decertification?

DCP contacts the patient and any caregiver to say the certification is no longer in effect. The patient then has 30 days from receiving that notice to provide a new, valid physician certification; otherwise the registration is rescinded.

What reason do I need to give on the decertification form?

The form asks for a brief written statement explaining why you seek to decertify the patient, plus a yes-or-no answer on whether, in your professional opinion, the patient should discontinue palliative use of marijuana. You sign the form under penalty of law.
