Cannabis on prescription in Berlin
Looking for a doctor for medical cannabis in Berlin? You do not need an appointment at a local practice: you complete a medical history questionnaire digitally, and a doctor licensed in Germany then assesses your answers — for patients in Berlin just as in the rest of Berlin.
Whether and how a treatment is medically appropriate is decided solely by the treating doctor, case by case. There is no entitlement to a particular therapy or to a prescription, and an online assessment does not replace a physical examination. The service is available to adults only.
Partner pharmacies in Berlin
6 pharmacies in Berlin are part of the network. You choose the pharmacy yourself during the request — delivery is nationwide, regardless of location.
Does health insurance cover the cost?
For patients in Berlin, the same rule applies as everywhere in Germany: treatment via Medicanova runs on a private prescription, and statutory health insurance does not cover the platform fee. Coverage for the medicine itself is possible under narrow conditions — a serious illness, standard therapies exhausted, and a prior application to the insurer. That application goes through your treating doctor and is a separate process, independent of the request made here. If you are already under statutory care in Berlin, raise it there: the application requires a documented medical history that an online questionnaire cannot replace.
