Evaluation Process

To be evaluated for ASD under the CUP:

1. Confirm your (or your child’s) diagnosis with a qualified clinician — typically a developmental pediatrician, psychiatrist, neurologist, or licensed psychologist
2. Book a telehealth evaluation with a CURT-registered physician
3. Bring documentation: diagnosis records, list of prior treatments / therapies, current medications
4. Physician evaluates whether cannabis is appropriate for the case
5. If certified, physician enters the patient in CURT and the patient can access a TX-licensed dispensary

What to Bring to Your Evaluation

• Medical records confirming the ASD diagnosis (developmental evaluations, psychological reports)
• List of medications and therapies tried and their outcomes
• Government-issued Texas ID (for the legal guardian, if patient is a minor)
• Insurance card (optional — Texas CUP is not covered by insurance, but useful for the physician’s intake)
• Legal guardianship documentation if applicable
