What must a med spa in Michigan report to the board?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
Not directly — the cited rules impose no reporting duty on a med spa as such; only a licensed pharmacy, manufacturer, wholesale distributor or broker must report a change in ownership, management, location or PIC within 30 days of the change.
Michigan’s reportable event is a change in the business itself, not a clinical one. “a pharmacy, manufacturer, wholesale distributor, or wholesale distributor-broker shall report to the department a change in ownership, management, location, or its PIC or facility manager designated under subsection (2) not later than 30 days after the change occurs.”

⚠️ Michigan requires a license to compound at all, and a second authorization on top of it. “To do business in this state, a person that provides compounding services must be licensed as a pharmacy or manufacturer under this part and, if a pharmacy, authorized to provide compounding services under this section and sections 17748a and 17748b.” The same subsection opens by requiring that “a pharmacy, manufacturer, wholesale distributor, or wholesale distributor-broker, whether or not located in this state, must be licensed under this part” — so every link in the chain that distributes a compounded drug into Michigan is licensed here. A pharmacy license alone does not by itself carry compounding authority.

⚠️ and an outsourcing facility must hold a Michigan pharmacy license — federal registration is not enough. “To do business in this state, an outsourcing facility must be licensed as a pharmacy under this part. licenses are renewable biennially.” a Michigan practice buying compounded stock from a 503B should be checking a Michigan pharmacy license, not only an FDA registration.
