What must a med spa in Pennsylvania report to the board?
Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter
A CRNP must notify the Board in writing whenever a prescriptive authority collaborative agreement is updated or terminated, filing the change form and the amended agreement with the Board and paying the prescribed fee. An agreement that quietly lapses is a live compliance gap, not a paperwork one.

Pennsylvania adopts the federal compounding regime as its own, and keeps it current. “the compounding of sterile and nonsterile preparations shall be done in accordance with section 503a of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act … federal regulations promulgated thereunder, and the current version of the usp chapters governing compounding.” “Current version” means the standard moves without the rule being reissued.

⚠️ and the prohibition is the whole glp-1 question in one clause. “Pharmacists may not compound … drugs that are essentially copies of a commercially available drug product, except as provided in section 503a(b)(1)(D) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.” Where the branded GLP-1 can be obtained, a compounded version of it is an essential copy and Pennsylvania forbids compounding it — no quantity limit or supervision arrangement cures that.

← All Pennsylvania rules and changes · MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
