A patient has to request you as a caregiver. go to RI DOH W/s, click on MMJ program application link. info is there. Link is - Rhode Island Department of Health: Medical Marijuana Program
Here is a copy and paste from the info.
CAREGIVERS:
â?¢ Caregiver information is ALWAYS provided by the Patient.
â?¢ Background Check (BCI) for all caregivers. (To obtain BCI contact Attorney Generalâ??s Office at (401) 274-4400)
If your Caregiver lives in another state they must provide a BCI from the state where they live and also include one
from Rhode Island.
â?¢ Each caregiver may be responsible for up to five (5) patients.
â?¢ Pay an application fee (Check or Money Order, Payable to RI General Treasurer) Fee is seventy-five dollars
($75.00) unless you are a qualifying caregiver who can submit satisfactory evidence, to the Department, of being a
recipient of Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). If you can
submit such evidence then the fee is ten dollars ($10.00).
CHANGES OF INFORMATION (once registered) OR WITHDRAWAL FROM PROGRAM:
After you (and your caregiver(s)) receive your registration identification cards, you can change information by completing, signing
and submitting a â??Medical Marijuana Program â?? Patient Information Change Requestâ? (â??Change Formâ?). You can also use
the same form to Withdraw from the program by checking box â??Dâ? â??Withdraw from the Marijuana Program.
LOST CARD
The caregiver has to apply for the BCI, costs $5
The patient then submits their application with your info and BCI report with the fee or submits change form with your BCI.

Hope that helps.
