Renew

Plano patients keep medical cannabis access by maintaining an active prescription through Texas’ physician-managed Compassionate Use Program. Since Texas does not issue medical marijuana cards, continued access depends on keeping the physician authorization current in CURT.

Do Plano Patients Need to Renew Medical Cannabis Access?

Texas patients must continue care with a physician registered with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Ongoing access depends on follow-up evaluations and continued physician authorization when treatment remains appropriate.

How Plano Patients Maintain Medical Cannabis Authorization

Texas does not use a standard card renewal process. Instead, patients continue access through physician follow-up appointments. During these visits:

• The physician reviews the patient’s condition
• The physician decides whether low-THC cannabis should continue
• The prescription is updated in CURT when needed

 

After the prescription is current in CURT, patients may continue receiving products from licensed dispensing organizations.

How Long Plano Medical Cannabis Authorization Lasts

Texas does not set one universal expiration period for every patient. The length of access depends on the physician’s prescription and treatment plan. Patients should schedule follow-up visits before an update is needed to avoid gaps in access.

Cost to Maintain Medical Cannabis Authorization in Plano

Continued access usually involves the cost of a physician follow-up appointment.

• Physician follow-up visit: commonly about $75 to $250 or more, depending on the provider

 

Texas does not charge a state renewal fee or card fee. Access continues through an active physician prescription in CURT.
