Leafwell Launches Cannabis Care Program
Leafwell, a medical cannabis company, is launching the first clinically driven cannabis care program in the United States. This solution gives individuals access to clinical guidance, personalized care plans from providers and up to 30% off cannabis products at over 700 dispensaries nationwide.
Membership is now available starting at $9.99 per month. Membership can also be accessed through Leafwell’s employer and organizational partners, according to the company. Current organizational partners include the Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) and its 2-million-member base made up of adults aged 50 and above.
“A survey of our members revealed that a significant portion are not only open to cannabis care, they’re actively seeking safer, more natural alternatives to manage pain, sleep issues, and other common health concerns,” said Kurt Meyer, senior vice president at AMAC, in a news release. “We chose to partner with Leafwell because of their clinical rigor, trusted medical team and proven outcomes. This benefit gives our members access to high-quality, personalized care that fits their values and needs.”
Access to Medical Cannabis Care
Because medical cannabis is excluded from insurance coverage and traditional healthcare plans, the Leafwell membership provides companies looking to offer comprehensive wellness benefits a way to cover cannabis care. Leafwell’s pilot programs with employers have achieved significant success with municipal workers and school district employees in Trenton, Orange and Teaneck, New Jersey, according to the company. It’s also been successful with insurance carriers such as Meritain Aetna and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield.
“This launch represents a paradigm shift in the cannabis industry and cannabis medicine as a whole,” said Emily Fisher, CEO and founder of Leafwell, in the release. “We’re removing barriers and setting a new standard for cannabis care — where affordability, accessibility, and clinical excellence go hand-in-hand. By offering cannabis telehealth, personalized care and recommendations from experts, combined with more affordable product options, we have built a Hers for medical cannabis.”
Leafwell has also partnered with a network of leading national dispensary chains, according to the company, including Curaleaf, Fluent, iAnthus and The Cannabist Company, as well as independent retailers such as The Travel Agency and Gotham. Leafwell is planning on continuing to expand this access to additional employer and organizational networks in the future.
