Pittsburgh's most trusted medical card provider

The doctors were super helpful and I can’t believe how quick everything went! It was a short waiting time to speak with a doctor online, and from there she was super helpful and so sweet! I had anxiety to meet with anyone in person, so being able to do this from the comfort of my own home helped me feel so much better and the process went so smoothly and got approved quick! Awesome service. :)

They are Affordable ,Friendly, Fast and Knowledgeable. The whole process experience was wonderful. They explained the complete process and had a walk through on the process to submit to my state. The doctor really cared about my health concerns/issues. Don't waste your time or money anywhere else.

I was able to apply for the card within 24 hours of my Dr. Call. Did it all online and was even less expensive than the "patient drives" without wondering if they are approving me for the money or if it will actually help me. Thank you! I will recommend you to everyone.

The website and process to get certified was simple and quick. The doctor's online appointment was also incredibly easy. I was not looking forward to going through the certification process, but it was painless and easy. The doctor was thorough and answered all my questions. Would highly recommend. Thanks for all your help.
