Is a "free" MN medical card really a thing?
The old free-certification promotions are gone, but you can still cut the cost. Leafwell's Minnesota certification is normally $139. Code MNHUB takes $40 off, so you pay $99 for the provider certification.
Certification and OCM enrollment are separate steps. Minnesota eliminated the annual patient enrollment fee effective July 1, 2023. The state enrollment fee is $0. After certification, complete your OCM enrollment application to join the program.
A Simpler Way to Get Certified Online
Skip the search for a local clinic. Leafwell connects you with a Minnesota-licensed provider online, and MNHUB cuts the certification price from $139 to $99.

After you certify: where the real savings kick in

Built-in savings
- Check current tax treatment with a retailer or official source
- Check current program rules through OCM
- Confirm current retailer inventory and eligibility
- Do not rely on this page for cultivation or possession guidance
Dispensary-level savings
- Ask the retailer about any current discount program
- Confirm current first-time offers directly with the retailer

- Compare current retailer policies: see how
Watch out for scams
- Check current OCM guidance before enrolling. Minnesota eliminated the annual patient enrollment fee effective July 1, 2023. The state enrollment fee is $0.
- Confirm provider eligibility and terms directly. Do not treat a price alone as proof that a provider is appropriate.
- Promotions can change. Confirm any current offer at the provider's booking page.
- Use OCM guidance and the provider's own information. Certification does not complete the separate OCM enrollment step.
