FAQs
Good questions. Clear answers.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a valid Florida ID or appropriate proof of seasonal residency, relevant medical records, and your current medication list. If you are unsure which records to bring, contact us before your visit.
What does the evaluation involve?
Your physician will perform an individual medical evaluation, reviewing your history to determine eligibility under Florida law and discussing personalized care options tailored to your needs.
How is eligibility determined?
Eligibility is based on qualifying medical conditions defined by Florida statutes and is subject to the physician’s clinical evaluation. Note that Florida state application fees are separate from our certification fees.
Card Renewal vs. Physician Certification Renewal
These are separate processes. The state card requires an annual application to the OMMU, while physician certification renewal is required periodically per Florida law to maintain your active orders.
Initial Visits and Telehealth Renewals
All initial evaluations must be conducted in person. Eligible established patients may be able to utilize telehealth for subsequent renewals with the same certifying physician.
How do I transfer my care to SeaWeed Medical?
Transferring is easy. Simply book a transfer appointment online. We will collect your records and your physician will review your history during your visit to establish a new care plan.
