What is Medical Marijuana assistance program  MMAP?

  • A program to assist with the cost of providing medical marijuana to patients who demonstrate financial hardship or need.
  • A program to assist patients and caregivers with the cost associated with the waiver or reduction of fees for identification cards.
  • A program to provide for the cost of background checks for caregivers
    Currently if a patient or caregiver is registered with an existing Commonwealth financial hardship program they are provided with a 50% discount for their annual id card fee and 65% of federal background check fees for caregivers are covered.

How will the MMAP work?

  • Phase 1 will eliminate annual ID card fees for eligible participants registered with an existing commonwealth financial hardship program
  • Phase 2 will eliminate all fees background checks for eligible caregivers
  • Phase 3 will distribute a to be determined benefit amount per funding period per eligible patient.

When will the expansion of MMAP start?

  • We expect phase 1 to be in place by the end of Q1 calendar year 2022
  • We are in the process of determining how quickly Phase 2 can be implemented
  • Phase 3 implementation is in the process as we design the infrastructure and support system that MMAP requires to be successful

Are there restrictions on the products I can buy with MMAP assistance?

  • Your MMAP balance can be applied to any medical marijuana product from Pa dispensaries.
  • Non Medical products such as devices and accessories cannot be purchased with MMAP funds.
