Anyone else had an application sent back and required to have their Dr. fax a DEA Certification to the registry? I got my application returned a couple months ago requesting that I have my Dr. fax their DEA cert to the registry and resend in my application within 60 days. I felt strange asking this of my Dr. after she was a little hesitant to even sign in the first place. I did ultimately just leave a message asking them to fax it and sent my application back in. I knew I was cutting the line close but missed it by one day. My Dr. also did not fax in the DEA cert. I finally get my application sent back to me as denied because it was a day late and they did not get the paperwork they needed.
I also sent along a letter explaining that I had issues with paying $90 but still having to provide more paperwork to verify my paperwork when that is what I should be paying for. Of course I knew this was going to not be heard by the govt. drones, but I felt the desire to send it along.
Just wondering if quite a few people are getting this letter or is my Dr. just not on the right list or what?
This is my PCP that I have been seeing for 7 years and prescribes me blood thinners so I have no reason to think she is not legit and feel somewhat discriminated against for having to jump through such hoops. This law has become so convoluted I can hardly take it seriously anymore or respect it in any way. I am a permanently disabled person in a wheelchair so I will never get better but still I have to play this game each and every year.
Anyway thanks for reading.
Peace

If your application was denied, you should have gotten your original check back. That happened to me twice, but it was for silly clerical reasons. At the very least, they owe you $90.

is there an issue with your doctor's license? if they took longer than 35 days, then you automatically get the card.

Read the constitution a bit more closely. After 35 days you are valid until the CDPHE denies your application. Then you are no longer valid.

(d) Except for patients applying pursuant to subsection (6) of this section, where the state health agency, within thirty-five days of receipt of an application, fails to issue a registry identification card or fails to issue verbal or written notice of denial of such application, the patient's application for such card will be deemed to have been approved. Receipt shall be deemed to have occurred upon delivery to the state health agency, or deposit in the United States mails. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no application shall be deemed received prior to June 1, 1999. A patient who is questioned by any state or local law enforcement official about his or her medical use of marijuana shall provide a copy of the application submitted to the state health agency, including the written documentation and proof of the date of mailing or other transmission of the written documentation for delivery to the state health agency, which shall be accorded the same legal effect as a registry identification card, until such time as the patient receives notice that the application has been denied.
