How multi-disciplinary pain practices evaluate a distributor
Pain management and physical medicine groups often combine physicians, physiatrists, and advanced practice staff under a single tax ID, so vendor qualification tends to focus on which individual's NPI governs ordering and how that is documented internally.
Groups commonly request the same baseline materials regardless of specialty mix: a certificate of analysis for the lot in question, a summary of donor screening, and confirmation of how sterility testing and lot release are handled before a product ships.

Account setup and NPI verification
Precision Biologics verifies every account against the NPI supplied at signup before an order is released. A pain management group with several associates can designate more than one ordering NPI under one account, which keeps the purchase record tied to the correct provider.
Orders are restricted to licensed professionals; accounts are not opened for patients or for staff without a qualifying NPI.
Cold chain and shelf-stable formats
Cryopreserved products are shipped overnight on dry ice in validated containers and held at -80 degrees Celsius once received. Practices in Virginia Beach receive shipments on this same schedule as any other verified account in the Southeast.
Lyophilized formats are shelf-stable and are stored and reconstituted according to the insert supplied with the lot, which can simplify inventory for practices without on-site ultra-low freezer capacity.
Verifying regulatory fit before adding a product line
Whether a Wharton's jelly or exosome product's intended use aligns with 21 CFR 1271.10, or with section 351 biologic drug regulation for exosomes, is a determination for the practice and its counsel, not Precision Biologics. We recommend confirming your position with the Virginia Board of Medicine and your own regulatory counsel before adding any new biologic product.
Precision Biologics supports that process with lot-level documentation, supplier characterization data, and physician-level calls focused on records rather than clinical advice.
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 practice with multiple physiatrists share one Precision Biologics account?+
Yes. One account can list several authorized ordering providers, each tied to their own NPI, so purchase records stay attached to the correct physician.
Do you offer products that don't require cryogenic storage for a physical medicine office without a -80 freezer?+
Yes. Lyophilized Wharton's jelly and exosome formats are shelf-stable; cryopreserved formats require -80 degree Celsius storage and overnight dry-ice shipping.
Who do we talk to about whether a product fits our practice's regulatory framework?+
That determination belongs to your practice and its counsel. We recommend confirming your position with the Virginia Board of Medicine, and we can provide documentation to support that review.
