Frequently asked questions

Do I need to drive to the west side for my MMJ card from Yakima?

No. Green Wellness telehealth covers all Washington State residents. Book a same-day video appointment from Yakima and receive your authorization by email.

Are there dispensaries in Yakima that accept medical cards?

Yes. Yakima County has licensed retailers. Registered medical patients are exempt from Washington's 37% cannabis excise tax on DOH-compliant medical cannabis products at any licensed WA dispensary statewide; products that are not DOH-compliant are still subject to it.

Can I get my Washington medical marijuana card via telehealth?

It depends on whether it's your initial authorization or a renewal. WA RCW 69.51A.030 requires the initial physical examination to be in person — we hold those at our Lynnwood clinic. An annual renewal can be done by video if, at that in-person initial visit, your provider noted in your record that requiring you to attend in person would be a severe hardship because of your physical or emotional condition. (That note is a separate thing from a "compassionate care renewal," which is about renewing your recognition card without having to be physically present at a retailer.)

Why do I have to come in for the initial visit?

Washington statute (RCW 69.51A.030) requires the initial physical examination to be in person. Some online services advertise telehealth-only initials, but we don't offer that — see our why-in-person-initial page for the full regulatory explanation.

How long does a telehealth renewal take?

Renewal appointments are typically 15–20 minutes. You'll learn the decision the same visit, and your new written authorization is mailed within 3–5 business days.

What technology do I need for a renewal?

A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. No app to download — we use a secure browser-based video platform.

How much does it cost?

Initial visits at the Lynnwood clinic are $175. Annual telehealth renewals are $145. Payment is collected online at booking — no surprise fees.
