Talking with your care team

Reviewed by executive management. September 16, 2026. Scientific review pending.

If a participating care organization discusses an eligible hemp product with you under the CMS Substance Access Beneficiary Engagement Incentive, a physician must determine that use is appropriate and document shared decision-making. This page can help you prepare for that discussion and follow-up.

Important evidence context. Micelle 60 and FDA-approved prescription cannabidiol are separate products. No clinical, pharmacokinetic, exposure, efficacy, safety or comparability bridge has been established between them. Micelle 60 is not FDA approved, and no clinical benefit or product-specific safety profile has been established for it.

How we review this information

These pages are reviewed and approved by executive management and have been submitted to our Chief Scientific Officer for scientific review. Each page will show her name and the date once she has signed it. Each claim-bearing page identifies its sources, evidence limitations and the date the evidence was last checked. Draft or incomplete pages remain unpublished.

What to bring

  • A current list of every prescription medicine, nonprescription medicine and supplement you use, including occasional products and doses if known
  • Information about liver disease, advanced kidney disease, dialysis, previous medicine reactions and recent falls
  • Whether you drive, use tools, do safety-sensitive work, care for someone else or undergo workplace drug testing
  • Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • What you hope will change and how you and the care team would decide whether use should continue

What the documented discussion must cover

Under this optional incentive, the physician’s documented discussion includes potential benefits and risks, your goals and preferences, current medicines and possible interactions, and follow-up planning. Any eligible product must be furnished directly by a qualified physician affiliated with the participating organization. Micelle Therapeutics does not determine eligibility.

Questions to ask

  • What evidence supports this exact product, dose and intended use?
  • What benefit are we looking for, and how will we measure it?
  • What are the possible risks and interactions with my current medicines?
  • What changes should prompt me to contact the care team?
  • Who should I contact, and when will we review the decision?

Before you leave

Make sure you understand what was decided, what risks and uncertainties were discussed, whom to contact and when follow-up will occur. Keep any written information with your current medicine list.

If you change your mind

If you decide not to start, or want to stop, tell your care team. Do not stop or change a prescribed medicine unless the clinician managing it advises you to do so.
