Who Signs Off on a New Biologics Line
In physical medicine and pain management practices, the decision to add a biologics category typically runs through a medical director rather than purchasing staff alone, since the determination of whether a specific intended use fits the applicable regulatory framework rests with the treating physician and counsel.
Precision Biologics supports that review by making the certificate of analysis, donor eligibility summary and lot release record available to verified accounts on request, rather than publishing specification claims a practice would need to independently verify anyway.

NPI Verification Process
Opening an account starts with confirming an NPI number against the NPPES registry for the ordering physician. Multi-provider pain management groups in Albany sometimes verify several physicians under a shared billing account while still tracking lot usage by individual clinician.
Shipping and Storage Through the Winter Months
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly product ships overnight on dry ice in a validated shipping container regardless of season, and should move directly into -80 C storage on receipt; practices concerned about delivery timing around weather or holidays sometimes standardize on the lyophilized Wharton's jelly or exosome formats instead, since those ship without cold-chain handling.
Verifying With the State Board
Precision Biologics does not advise on dosing, protocols or clinical indications. Confirming that a pain management or physical medicine practice's license supports a given product category is a matter for the New York State medical board and the practice's own counsel, checked separately from anything in this catalog.
FDA has stated there are no FDA-approved exosome products. Exosome products are generally regulated as biologic drugs under section 351 of the Public Health Service Act, not as 361 HCT/Ps. Purchase and clinical use decisions belong to the physician with their own regulatory counsel.
These products are not FDA approved or licensed for any disease or condition. Information is for licensed healthcare professionals and is not medical or legal advice.
