What Is the Cost of a Medical Marijuana Card in Montana in 2026?

There are two main costs associated with obtaining a medical marijuana card in Montana.

Physician Certification: Patients must obtain a signed Physician’s Statement for a Debilitating Medical Condition from a Montana-licensed Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO). The cost of this evaluation varies by provider. Some physicians may offer reduced rates for certain patients, but pricing is set independently by each medical practice.

State Registration Fee: After receiving a physician’s statement, patients must submit their application through Montana’s TransAction Portal (TAP) and pay the $20 state registration fee to complete enrollment in the Medical Marijuana Program. This fee covers state processing and does not include physician evaluation costs or dispensary purchases.

Some dispensaries in Montana may offer discounts or assistance programs for eligible patients. Availability varies by location, so it’s best to check directly with your local licensed dispensary for current offerings.
