Issuing bodies under this code include county health care agencies operating public medical centers and hospital systems. Vendors must hold FDA, CLIA, AABB, and any Deemed Status certificates and be licensed under state law to collect, process, and distribute blood products; they must carry professional liability insurance, maintain general and automobile liability coverage, and comply with HIPAA Business Associate requirements for Protected Health Information.
