  • Complete an 'authorization to designate a third-party caregiver' form and upload the completed form back to your caregiver profile

4. Pay for your card

  • Submit the $50 fee for card; patients enrolled in Medicaid, PAC, CHIP, SNAP, and WIC may be eligible for a discount
  • You will receive your card via mail

5. Visit a dispensary

  • Once you receive your card in the mail, you may visit Keystone Shops or any other approved dispensary in the state of PA
  • Bring your state issued ID
  • First time patients and caregivers are welcome to a free consultation with a medical professional at the dispensary
