Sourcing Exosomes in California

ExaVeyra ships to licensed practices in all 50 states, California included. Distribution-side licensing is handled by us, so your practice orders against its own professional license and NPI. What varies state to state is not whether product can reach you, but the indications it may be used for under federal law and how California regulates who performs the procedure.

What your practice provides

• An active California professional license in good standing, verifiable through the relevant board.
• A valid NPI, which ExaVeyra verifies at account setup.
• A signed research-use acknowledgment on file for exosome material.
• A California resale certificate if the practice is purchasing for resale rather than for use in its own operations.

How the state permits wholesale distribution

California reaches further than most states here. Section 4161 treats anyone located outside California who ships, sells, mails, warehouses, distributes, or delivers dangerous drugs or dangerous devices into the state as a nonresident wholesaler, and requires a Board of Pharmacy license before doing so. Devices are inside the definition, where Florida for example requires no wholesale permit for devices. A separate license is required for each place of business, and the applicant maintains a valid license in its home state, with NABP Drug Distributor Accreditation available as an alternative route in some circumstances. The license sits with the distributor, not with the purchasing practice.

Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 4161 · California State Board of Pharmacy

California runs on two documents rather than a single standing protocol. An authorized clinician performs a good faith examination of the individual patient, then issues a patient-specific order; only after that order exists may a delegated provider administer the treatment within their own scope. Documenting both steps per patient is the practical difference between California and states that rely on a general standing delegation order.

Good faith examination

California treats the good faith examination as a baseline requirement before any delegated medical aesthetic procedure. The examining clinician assesses the patient, confirms the treatment is appropriate, and rules out contraindications. Only a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant may perform it. A registered nurse may not, because the examination involves diagnosis and treatment planning that fall outside the RN scope. The examination may be conducted in person or by compliant synchronous telehealth.

Ownership and clinic licensing

Entity structure is decided early in California. The medical side of a practice is owned and controlled by licensed clinicians rather than by investors or a lay company, and it takes the form of a professional corporation rather than an LLC. Under the Moscone-Knox Professional Corporation Act a physician holds at least 51 percent of a professional medical corporation and a nurse practitioner may hold no more than 49 percent. Practices commonly pair the professional corporation with a separate management services organization. Assembly Bill 890 created a pathway for qualifying nurse practitioners to practice without standardized procedures and to form their own professional nursing entity, but it did not change the ownership ceiling inside a professional medical corporation. Structure this with California counsel.
