Tying a medspa account to a supervising physician
Medspas in Washington operate under physician supervision, so Precision Biologics ties the account to the supervising or medical director physician's NPI rather than to the business entity. That NPI is checked against the NPPES registry before the account is activated, the same step used for dermatology and plastic surgery practices applying on their own behalf.
Many practices also confirm, as part of their own internal review, that the physician named on the account matches the physician of record with the DC Board of Medicine for that location.
Documentation requested before ordering
Before adding a biologics supplier, aesthetic and dermatology practices in Washington commonly request a certificate of analysis for the specific lot, a donor eligibility summary, and confirmation of the sterility testing and quarantine release applied to that lot. For the exosome products, practices typically also request the available characterization data and full ingredient disclosure, given that FDA has stated there are no FDA-approved exosome products.

Receiving shipments at a medspa or dermatology office
Cryopreserved Wharton's jelly formats ship overnight on dry ice in validated containers for storage at -80 degrees Celsius, the same process used for any address in the Southeast region. Lyophilized Wharton's jelly and exosome formats are shelf-stable and are handled according to the product insert included with each lot rather than cold-chain storage.
Smaller practices should still designate one staff member to log each shipment by lot number against its certificate of analysis on arrival.
