If your doctor works through a clinic that charges then they've been blacklisted ... do you really think HC doesn't know that they work from a clinic?
In Canada a doctor is paid $36 from HC for each patient for 15 minutes, however when working through a clinic the clinic is the one who is paid and then the clinic pays the doctor .... needless to say the paperwork involved with charging HC for the patient details the patient as well as the treating doctor (that's how the Canadian medical system works)
So HC knows right off the nat if a doctor is working through a cannabis clinic
On top of this, when you send in your rehistration your prescribing doctors name is on it and if said doctor is on the blacklist (the blacklist being the list of doctors known to be working through a cannabis clinic that charge fees) then HC puts that registration under greater scrutiny than ones which have a doctor who is not on the blacklist which in turn makes the registration take longer as HC will look deeper into it to be sure your registration is legit ... dont forget that there are tons of people paying for high plant counts which is why HC is required to do this
Now, I was told by my treating doctor (over 10 years of weekly spinal column injections ... so yeah, we have become friends over this time) that some doctors get blacklisted by HC due to what I explained above, however he also said there is a white list which doctors who do not charge fees or are working through a clinic that does not charges fees get put on which in turn can make the registration go faster due to the doctor in question being known by HC to not charge fees
Doctors and clinics charging fees is borderline illegal in the sense that according to the Canadian medical system you should not have to pay to get a cannabis prescription
If you paid to get your script in the first place it will take an additional month to two months to recieve your paperwork due to HC checking into everything to be sure your scrp is legit
