our experts look at the important things
PRICE
Price does matter. When all things are equal, smart consumers choose the lowest-price options. In fact, some of the lowest-priced medical card services provide the best care, while some of the most expensive services frequently fall short.
CREDENTIALS
We look at all credentials. Is the practice Better Business Bureau accredited? Are their claims of Google, Yelp, Bing, and other ratings verified? Are the medical provider names available on their website and confirmed with the Board of Pharmacy to write certificates? Do their providers have the medical training and experience to provide this specialized care?
EASE OF SCHEDULING
Booking your appointment should be easy. We evaluate whether the process of booking is easy or not. Good practices have an easy online method. Follow-up and help by friendly staff is always a great way to start your journey.
EASE OF USE
We believe in the ease and security of Telehealth. But not all systems are created equal. Is the process of connecting with your healthcare provider easy to understand and actually do?
FOLLOW-UP CARE AND SERVICE
Does the service provide follow-up support? Can you speak to the same doctor again? If so, do they charge for this? Do they provide complimentary support if you need verification (for employers, court, or others).
SPEED OF DELIVERY
How long does it take to get your medical card, once approved? Some services may take hours or even days to deliver. The best will deliver your card immediately.
WEBSITE
Does the service have an easy-to-use website with information about the process and about the therapy? Do they offer information about the laws pertaining to this therapy? Is the website up-to-date and accurate?
REPUTATION
We review the online reputation of each service. Does the service have a positive reputation on verifiable review sites? Reviews and endorsements from real patients on Google, Yelp, BBB and other places will enhance their standing.
