Are The Feds Finally Going To Let Medicare Cover CBD and Even THC?

Based on the ruling, products that are legal federally as well as at the state level can be reimbursed, which is a huge step forward, given that older policies prevented all cannabis-based substances from being reimbursed by insurance. However, we must be careful to take note of the nuances here; the ruling doesn’t treat cannabis as a primary medical treatment just yet but rather they are considered “specialized, non-primarily health-related benefits” by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
