A Physician-Led Evaluation
Medical Marijuana Evaluations in Riverview and Tampa
Meet privately with an InCare physician to review your condition, understand Florida's requirements, and find out whether medical marijuana may be an appropriate option for you.
Start With a Medical Conversation
Your Evaluation Is About Your Health, Not a Product
Florida's medical marijuana program starts with a qualified physician. At InCare, your visit is a medical evaluation. We review the condition that brought you in, how it affects your daily life, what care you have already tried, and the medicines or health risks that could affect a recommendation.
A diagnosis does not automatically mean medical marijuana is the right choice. Your physician must decide whether your condition meets Florida requirements and whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks for you. If you qualify, the physician can enter a certification and orders in Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry.
InCare provides medical marijuana recommendations only. We do not sell or dispense cannabis products. Approved patients purchase through Florida-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers.
Who May Qualify
Florida Requires an Eligible Medical Condition
A physician must confirm that your diagnosis fits Florida law. Symptoms alone do not establish eligibility.
Other Eligible Categories
Florida also recognizes terminal conditions, chronic nonmalignant pain as defined by law, and medical conditions comparable to the specifically listed conditions.
Individual Physician Review
Your physician reviews the diagnosis, severity, symptoms, prior care, and health history. An evaluation does not guarantee certification or state approval.
A Clear Florida Process
How a Medical Marijuana Evaluation Works
The physician evaluation, state application, and purchase from a licensed treatment center are separate steps.
Schedule and Prepare
Book your evaluation and gather a photo ID, medication list, and records related to your diagnosis. These details help your physician understand the full picture.
Meet With a Physician
Discuss your condition, symptoms, previous care, possible risks, and questions. Your physician determines whether you meet Florida's requirements.
Complete the State Steps
If certified, your information is entered in the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. You then apply to the state for your identification card before purchasing from a licensed treatment center.

What to Bring to Your Evaluation
Relevant information helps your physician review your diagnosis, treatment history, and safety considerations.
- A valid photo ID and proof of Florida residency or seasonal residency
- A current list of prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements
- Medical records connected to the condition you want evaluated, when available
- Diagnostic reports, imaging, treatment notes, or recent specialist records
- Details about treatments you have tried and how they affected your symptoms
- Questions about possible benefits, side effects, interactions, and follow-up
What Your Physician Reviews
A Recommendation Requires Clinical Judgment
Your physician looks beyond the name of a condition. The visit may include a review of symptom severity, current and past treatment, medication interactions, substance use, mental health history, pregnancy or fertility considerations, and other medical risks.
If medical marijuana is not appropriate, the physician can explain why and discuss other care options. If it is appropriate, you will receive guidance about the certification, the state registry process, and the follow-up needed to keep your care current.
Do not stop prescription medicine or change an existing treatment plan unless the clinician managing that care tells you to do so.
Know What Comes Next
Your Certification and State Card Are Different
Both parts must remain active, and each follows its own renewal schedule.
Physician Certification
A qualified physician enters your certification and orders in the Florida registry. Certification can remain active for up to 210 days, so continued eligibility requires physician reevaluation at least every 7 months.
State Identification Card
You apply separately for the Medical Marijuana Use Registry Identification Card. The state card follows an annual renewal cycle managed through Florida's registry.
Licensed Treatment Centers
After state approval, eligible patients obtain medical marijuana from a Florida-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center. InCare does not sell or dispense cannabis products.

Medical Marijuana FAQs
Questions Patients Ask Before an Evaluation
What happens during a medical marijuana evaluation?
An InCare physician reviews your diagnosed condition, symptoms, medical history, current medicines, prior care, and relevant records. The physician then determines whether you meet Florida requirements and whether the potential benefits of medical marijuana outweigh the risks for you.
Does an evaluation guarantee that I will qualify?
No. Scheduling an evaluation does not guarantee certification or state approval. A qualified physician must determine whether you have an eligible condition and whether medical marijuana is appropriate after reviewing your individual health information.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a valid photo ID, a current medication list, and medical records related to the condition you want evaluated when available. Records may include diagnostic reports, treatment notes, imaging, or information from the clinician who diagnosed the condition.
Is a physician certification the same as a Florida medical marijuana card?
No. A qualified physician evaluates and certifies an eligible patient in Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry. The patient separately applies to the state for a Medical Marijuana Use Registry Identification Card. Both must remain active for a patient to purchase from a licensed treatment center.
Does InCare sell medical marijuana?
No. InCare provides medical evaluations and physician recommendations only. Approved patients purchase medical marijuana from a Florida-licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Center.
How often do I need to renew?
Florida physician certifications can remain active for up to 210 days, so a physician reevaluation is required at least every 7 months to continue certification. The state identification card follows a separate annual renewal cycle.
