Cost and Implementation Considerations
• Card Creation– Castlestone creates/activates/deactivates and manages cards based on guidelines. Plan
Sponsor existing card manufacturing contracts can be used if they are compatible– Patient cards can be dispensed by doctors with on-line registration in the doctor’s office
• Hardware cost for plan & providers– NONE. Uses existing credit card terminals or, if treatment centers do not have, Castlestone
can provide wireless terminals with direct connections to the system (this option provides more robust messaging, printing and other functions)
• Network costs for plan & providers– NONE. Uses the existing credit card networks from provider offices for transactions
• Systems & programming costs– Simple data exchange of new/change/delete participants, and customization of plan rules
• Cost Structure– Design and programming & card cost– Hosting (data base & monthly hosting and management)– Monthly per-member transaction fees

CastleStone’s request of therapeutic cannabis plan managers
1. Make real-time recording of certifications and their fulfillment a requirement of the process
2. Use these approaches to verify the identities of the doctors, patients, care givers and clinics involved in any given transaction
3. Use these approaches to refer questionable transactions and provide coaching and counseling or appropriate disciplinary action
4. Use the data captured as the foundation of a robust reporting and trend analysis capability
