Adding a Guardian to Your CUP Prescription—Step-by-Step

When a Caregiver is Needed

Texas law allows patients to designate a caregiver—often a parent or legal guardian—to assist with accessing and administering low-THC medications. Whether supporting a child with epilepsy or an aging parent with Parkinson’s, this flexibility ensures care continues smoothly.

How to Add a Guardian

1. Schedule and complete a telehealth visit for the qualifying patient.
2. Provide full legal name, birthdate, and last 5 of SSN for the designated guardian.
3. Your physician enters the guardian into CURT—authorization is instant.

Helpful Tips

• Always bring a valid photo ID when picking up medication.
• Save the emailed PDF verification letter.
• Communicate dosage changes or concerns—guardians can contact our office directly.
