received this from the insurance company I have my group
benefits with.

Just a follow up regarding our conversation from yesterday afternoon.

Currently, medical marijuana is not covered under employee benefits plans and cannot be covered until the government assigns a DIN (drug identification number) to the drug.

Some key points to consider:
-To access medical cannabis under the MMPR (Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations), the patient must obtain a medical document (authorization) from an authorized healthcare provider. The patient must register as a client with a licensed producer. Medical cannabis ordered by the patient is sent directly to the patient by the licensed producer.
- Healthcare practitioners authorized to write medical documents (authorization) include physicians in all Canadian provinces and territories, and nurse practitioners in provinces and territories where authorizing cannabis for medical purposes is permitted under their scope of practice. (Healthcare providers are encouraged to check the policies of their provincial regulatory bodies to ensure compliance, as each province is slightly different.)
- Producers MUST be legally licensed by Health Canada. Licensed producers adhere to rigorous standards and regulations and can only provide dried cannabis to authorized patients (see the Health Canada link below for authorized Licensed Producers)
