Some providers in the medical marijuana industry state that a few “bad actors” who conduct business via telehealth services are undermining the credibility of the medical-marijuana program.
Tallahassee, August 21,
2022—Aaron Bloom, CEO of DocMJ, discussed the growing frustration of
questionably illegal telehealth practices within Florida’s medical marijuana
industry. Veriheal, an online healthcare
company, is claimed to haveviolated existing Florida statutes by performing
exclusively virtual physician assessments of patient eligibility for medical
marijuana and offering illegal fee-sharing agreements with enlisted
physicians.
A Call to Action
With unresolved
patient-brokering allegations and seemingly no disciplinary action by
authorities to enforce current Florida law, Aaron Bloomand other industry
providers are concerned that wrongdoers could threaten the credibility of the
medical marijuana program. Bloom states,
“I do think there needs to be a mechanism for the existing government agencies
to enforce the law.”
