Tying It All Together

Medcardnow has several safeguards in place, the first of which is our compliance within the legal framework mentioned above. The second is the medical card which, in many cases, can shield a patient from scrutiny by agents of the state. The third is the discreet way in which we ship the medication to the patient’s home, thereby protecting each patient’s privacy.

Legally, under the provisions of the ACA, this is the same thing as the patient traveling to CA to see the doctor in person.
