Crohn's Disease and the Texas Compassionate Use Program

Added to TX CUP: 2021

You Probably Already Know Your GI System Better Than Most Doctors

Patients who have lived with Crohn’s for any length of time come into the room as experts in their own disease. We don’t talk over you.

Crohn’s Under the Texas CUP

Crohn’s disease is a qualifying condition under the Texas Compassionate Use Program. A CURT-registered Texas physician can certify you for access to low-THC products.

What the CUP Authorizes

Low-THC products only. For Crohn’s patients, the clinical conversation often centers on pain, nausea, sleep disruption, and appetite.

Coordinating With Your Gastroenterologist

If you’re on a biologic (Humira, Remicade, Stelara, Skyrizi, others), or 5-ASA, or an immunomodulator, your GI team should know you’re considering CUP enrollment. Some interactions deserve a conversation.

How the Visit Adapts to Active Disease

If you’re in a flare, an evaluation may still happen — many of our Crohn’s patients schedule precisely because they’re flaring. Mention it on intake.

What to Bring

• Crohn’s diagnosis documentation (GI note, colonoscopy report)
• Current treatment regimen (biologic, immunomodulator, 5-ASA, steroids)
• Current medication list including anti-nausea, pain, antidiarrheal medications
• GI / IBD specialist contact info
• TX ID

What the Visit Looks Like

A video evaluation, 20–30 minutes. The physician will want to understand your disease history (year of diagnosis, surgical history if any, current biologic, what’s already been tried for symptom management).
