Vendor qualification for Florida orthopedic groups
Orthopedic practices and ambulatory surgery centers generally run a new biologics supplier through the same checklist used for any allograft vendor: certificate of analysis per lot, donor eligibility summary, and a description of how the tissue was processed and tested before release. Surgery centers in particular tend to want this documentation on file before a product is added to their formulary.
Florida practices evaluating Wharton's jelly products should also be aware of Senate Bill 1768, effective July 2025, which allows Florida-licensed physicians to use certain non-FDA-approved stem cell therapies in orthopedics, wound care and pain management under informed consent and disclosure requirements. That statute addresses physician use under state law; it does not change the federal regulatory status of any product, and a practice's own counsel is the right source for how it applies to a specific case.
NPI-verified ordering
Every Precision Biologics account is tied to a National Provider Identifier confirmed against the NPPES registry before the first order ships. This keeps the account limited to a verifiable, licensed orthopedic practice or surgery center rather than an individual.
Lot-level identifiers on each shipment let the practice track which lot was used at the patient record level, independent of our own internal tracking.
Cold chain receiving for the Southeast
Cryopreserved formats ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers and arrive requiring storage at -80 degrees Celsius; practices should plan receiving around staff availability, since the shipping containers are validated for the transit window. Lyophilized formats, including Bio DPM, do not need that same cold chain coordination.
Getting an account set up
We recommend Florida orthopedic practices confirm their own standing with the Florida medical board and review SB 1768's informed consent and disclosure requirements with counsel before finalizing any internal policy on these product categories. Precision Biologics supplies product and documentation; we do not advise on how the statute applies to a specific practice.
To start, submit your NPI and license information. Once verified, our team shares the documentation set for the product lines you're considering and can arrange a peer-to-peer call limited to paperwork and logistics.
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
Does Florida's SB 1768 mean Precision Biologics products are state-approved for orthopedic use?+
No. SB 1768 addresses how Florida-licensed physicians may use certain non-FDA-approved stem cell therapies under state law; it does not change the federal regulatory status of any product we distribute. Confirm applicability with your counsel.

NPPES lists 49 individual providers with Orthopaedic Surgery as their primary taxonomy in Melbourne, as of 2026-10-27. That's a registry count, not something that changes our account process, which is the same NPI verification for every practice regardless of location.
