Massachusetts patients enter the Medical Use of Marijuana Program through an electronic certification from a registered Certifying Healthcare Provider. In the Cannabis Control Commission's provider portal, the provider certifies that the patient has an active debilitating medical condition and that the benefits likely outweigh the risks, then sets the certification's duration, from 15 days to one year, and the 60-day supply.
A registered Certifying Healthcare Provider, meaning a Massachusetts-licensed physician, certified nurse practitioner or physician assistant, completes the whole certification and attests to a bona fide relationship, a clinical visit, a PMP review and risk education.
