Lancaster General and Penn Medicine Patients: What Your Doctor Can and Cannot Do
Manheim Township sits directly north of Lancaster, and most residents receive care through Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health. Lancaster General Hospital is a 525-bed regional medical center and Lancaster County's only Level 1 Trauma Center, with the Ann B. Barshinger Cancer Institute and LG Health Physicians practices throughout the Neffsville and Lancaster area. Most patients get this next part wrong and it delays their card by weeks.
Most Lancaster General Doctors Cannot Certify You
To certify a patient for the PA MMJ program, a physician must complete PA DOH training and register individually with the Office of Medical Marijuana. Most Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health primary care physicians have not completed this registration. It is not because they oppose it. It requires a separate administrative process outside their standard practice, and accessing an enrolled physician within a large system often means weeks of waiting. Our physicians are registered and available today.
Your Lancaster General Records Are Your Strongest Asset
Even though your doctor likely cannot certify you, their documentation of your qualifying condition is extremely valuable for your telehealth evaluation. Diagnosis records, treatment histories, imaging reports, or prescription records from Lancaster General Hospital, an LG Health Physicians practice, or any provider all support the evaluation. No referral or permission from your existing doctor is required. Have those records accessible when your physician calls.
Telehealth Is Faster Than Waiting for a System Appointment
Even for patients who find an enrolled physician within a health system, appointment wait times stretch to weeks. Our telehealth service offers same-day availability. Pennsylvania has permitted telehealth MMJ evaluations since 2020. The certification our physician submits enters the same PA DOH registry as an in-person visit. The clinical validity and legal standing is identical. The difference is weeks versus today.
PA MMJ Cards and the Opioid Alternative
Across south-central Pennsylvania, providers have invested in opioid-free pain management as the opioid crisis has reshaped care. Opioid use disorder is one of PA's 24 qualifying conditions. Many Manheim Township patients with chronic pain are actively exploring cannabis as an alternative or adjunct to opioid therapy, a direction supported by growing clinical research.

The whole call took about 15 minutes from my home in the township. Everything was explained clearly and my certification was submitted that same afternoon. So much easier than driving into the city.
