How to Renew your Medical Cannabis Card in Utah

Do you have questions about how to renew your medical card in Utah? The process can be a bit tricky but by following the instructions below you’ll be able to continue to purchase medical cannabis at your favorite Utah cannabis pharmacy (hopefully that’s with WholesomeCo!). 

Please note: You can complete the renewal process 30 days prior to your card’s expiration date, but you won’t be issued your updated card until after your previous card has expired. For a video explanation of the renewal process, watch this video here.

Step-By-Step Guide:

1. Log in to the EVS and navigate to your patient profile.
2. Hover over Tracking Inbox in the top left-hand corner of your screen and click Patient (not New Patient).
3. Click your name.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the Patient page and click the blue ‘Save and Submit 'Registration' button. Your status will change to ‘Awaiting Certification.’
5. Your QMP must enter a new certification for you so schedule a renewal appointment with your QMP. If you’d like to change QMP’s, check out the QMP finder tool here.
6. To complete your renewal virtually, there's a telehealth QMP called Leafwell, which is great for patients who are seeking a convenient and low-hassle alternative for renewing their med cards. New Leafwell patients will also receive a $200 discount code to use on their first 4 purchases at WholesomeCo.
7. After your QMP has renewed your certification, your status in the EVS will change to ‘Awaiting Payment.’ Now you may pay for your renewal.
8. See instructions on payment in EVS here.
9. If your status is “Renewal Completed” or “Awaiting State Review,” you are good to go! Just wait for the Utah Department of Health to approve your card and then you’ll receive a confirmation email that your card has been renewed. 

How much does it cost to renew your card?

Costs will vary depending on what qualified medical provider you went to obtain your medical cannabis card. See below for the typical costs you should expect. Use this QMP price comparison tool to find the best fit for you. 

• Initial Visit: $175 - $250 evaluation fee + $15 state fee
• 6-month Follow-up: $150 evaluation fee + $15 state fee
• 2nd 6-month Follow-up: $99-$150 evaluation fee + $15 state fee
• Yearly Follow-Up: $150 evaluation fee + $15 state fee

Some QMPs will still require 6-month follow-ups instead of doing a yearly follow-up. This is at the discretion of the QMP.
