Qualified medical provider (QMP)/proxy

Utah-licensed physicians (MD, DO), advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), physician assistants (PA), and podiatrists (DPM) who are licensed to prescribe a controlled substance may receive approval from DHHS to recommend medical cannabis treatment for their patients. These providers must register as a "qualified medical provider" through the Electronic Verification System (EVS).

Qualified medical providers may recommend medical cannabis for up to 1.5% of the state's total number of medical cannabis patient cardholders. As of April 1, 2025, the limit is 1,473 patients. The limit is updated quarterly.
