Does the $150 include the certification? Also if you get denied certification is the $150 refunded?

The cost for the appointment is actually $175, and it covers evaluation and certification. If you don't have a chronic, debilitating condition and therefore don't qualify, we should be able to figure that out before we take your money. We have NEVER taken someone's money and denied them a card. During covid we are currently charging only $150, and the that is the only cost associated with obtaining a card. For patients that are already established in our practice, renewal is just $100.

As of Nov 1st 2019, the state no longer charges a registration fee, so the only cost will be the fee for the doctor's evaluation. For new patients, this is $175; if you've got a verified financial hardship (Masshealth, Food Stamps SSI, disability, etc), we will call it $150. For already established patients, recertification is just $100 even.
