Determine the amount you wish to deposit

Check pricing information here to determine how much to deposit to pay for your evaluation. Note: returning PrestoDoctor patients will receive a renewal discount. Use the live chat at the bottom of the page and we can let you know the exact price.

Enter the amount you wish to deposit in USD

You can make multiple crypto deposits, and also use a credit card to cover the remaining balance if you deposit less than the total appointment price.

Follow the instructions provided by the system to complete the deposit.

It may take a few minutes for the transaction to be confirmed. Once confirmed, a credit will be applied to your account which can be used to pay for appointments.

Note: please ensure the accuracy of the deposit amount as deposits are final and cannot be refunded.

Buying Crypto

PrestoDoctor recommends buying crypto through these trusted exchanges.

To pay with cryptocurrency, you’ll first need to acquire some. This is typically done through a crypto exchange—a secure platform (like Gemini or Kraken) where you can purchase digital coins using your debit card, bank transfer, or even Apple Pay.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create an account with an exchange.

  2. Verify your identity (a quick security step).

  3. Buy the cryptocurrency of your choice.

  4. Send it from the exchange to PrestoDoctor when you’re ready to pay.

FAQs & Common Questions

Yes! Cryptocurrency is secure when you follow best practices. Use reputable exchanges or wallets, double-check addresses before sending, and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). PrestoDoctor also only accepts payments on trusted networks.

Sometimes transactions take a few minutes to confirm, depending on the coin and network. If it hasn’t processed after 10–15 minutes, check the transaction ID on a blockchain explorer and contact our support team.

Yes. Crypto is global, so you can use the same coins regardless of which state you’re in. Just make sure your wallet or exchange supports withdrawals to PrestoDoctor’s wallet.

Not usually. Most cannabis coins are niche and can be volatile. It’s simpler and more reliable to use popular coins like USDT, USDC, Dogecoin, Solana, or Monero.

Transaction times vary by coin: stablecoins and Solana are usually instant or under a minute, Dogecoin a few minutes, and Bitcoin or Ethereum can take 10–30+ minutes depending on network congestion.

Deposits are final. If you send more than needed, you can use the extra toward future appointments. If you send less, you’ll need to cover the remaining balance to complete your payment. Contact support if you’re unsure.

You can pay directly from Coinbase or most exchanges if they support sending crypto to an external wallet. For added security, many users transfer funds to a personal wallet first.

Fees depend on the blockchain network and transaction size. Some coins like Solana and TRON have extremely low fees, while Bitcoin and Ethereum can be much higher during network congestion.

Crypto transactions may have tax implications depending on your jurisdiction. PrestoDoctor does not provide tax advice, so check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.
