Medical Cannabis Certification
ECS wellness is a specialized integrative, or holistic, medicine practice. Thus, our visits cost the same as any other medical specialty (i.e. cardiology, neurology, etc.) Insurance pays for your provider's medical decision making. This can be medications, meditation, or a cannabis product. The certification allows the patients of The Commonwealth safe access to affordable, tax-free cannabis products we recommend. We see our certifying patients for the MMJ program similar to a primary care office filling out the necessary paperwork for a handicap parking spot or short term disability.
