Biologic Solutions for Chronic Wounds in Albuquerque, NM

What I’d check before adding biologic solutions chronic wounds here

Joe Bradley will tell you the same thing he tells his own staff: epidemiology first, then MAC, then SKU. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 11.3% of adults in Albuquerque have diagnosed diabetes — 0.7 points below the U.S. 12% figure. 14.4% of adults 18–64 here currently lack health insurance (CDC PLACES ACCESS2, 2023). Cash-pay PRP and Medicare CTPs cannot share one consent script. Then we pick biologic solutions chronic wounds against that mix.

• CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 11.3% of adults in Albuquerque have diagnosed diabetes — 0.7 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Adult obesity in Albuquerque is 32.9% (CDC PLACES 2023). That shows up in wound offloading and in joint-preservation volume — not as a slogan. A CTP without offloading and serial measurements still fails JH review. Product is the last step, not the first.
• Undiagnosed diabetes is 27.6% of U.S. adults who have the disease (CDC). Wound and joint programs in New Mexico will see patients who were never labeled diabetic on the referral — screening and offloading still belong in the protocol.
• In a city of 500k–1M, vendor noise is the operational problem: too many look-alike allograft flyers, too little chain-of-custody paperwork. Hawk Medical ships nationwide with HCT/P documentation; we do not invent a Albuquerque street address.
