How physical medicine groups structure vendor approval
Physical medicine and pain management groups with several Grand Rapids-area locations generally route vendor approval through a group-level review rather than per-site decisions, especially where physiatrists and pain specialists share billing and compliance infrastructure. That review typically asks for the same lot documentation set used across the biologics industry.
Precision Biologics provides this documentation per lot to any verified account.

Opening an NPI-verified account for a group practice
Account setup confirms the NPI number tied to the practice and the individual placing orders; for a group with multiple Grand Rapids locations, ordering is generally consolidated under one verified account rather than requiring separate verification per site.
Specification sheets and pricing are released only after verification is complete.
Receiving dry-ice shipments versus shelf-stable formats
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly and exosome products ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers and require prompt receiving on the scheduled delivery day; lyophilized formats are shelf-stable at ambient temperature and carry less time pressure on arrival. A Grand Rapids practice ordering a mix of cryopreserved and lyophilized formats should confirm which type is arriving before the shipment leaves the supplier, so front-desk staff know what to expect.
Confirming licensing and scope before ordering
A pain management or physical medicine practice should have its medical director and counsel determine how a specific product and use are classified and separately confirm current licensing requirements with the Michigan medical board. Precision Biologics supplies underlying documentation, including registration and licensure records on request, but does not make that classification determination.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can a pain management group with several Grand Rapids locations order under one account?+
Yes. Account verification is tied to the group's NPI record, and locations within that group are generally consolidated under the same verified account.
What's the difference between a cryopreserved and a lyophilized Wharton's jelly format for shipping purposes?+
The cryopreserved format is shipped overnight on dry ice; the lyophilized format is shelf-stable at ambient temperature. Both require documentation review before ordering, but their receiving requirements differ.
Who verifies whether a product fits our Grand Rapids practice's scope of practice?+
That determination belongs to your medical director and legal counsel, who should confirm current requirements with the Michigan medical board separately from reviewing Precision Biologics documentation.
