Joe Bradley will tell you the same thing he tells his own staff: epidemiology first, then MAC, then SKU. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 11.4% of adults in Oakland have diagnosed diabetes — 0.6 points below the U.S. 12% figure. 10.2% 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 collagen wound care against that mix.
National Collagen Wound Care Products for Healthcare Providers notes (how the product actually works)America’s Health Rankings (BRFSS 2024) only publishes state diabetes as a range nationally (Colorado 8.4% to West Virginia 18.4%). For Oakland we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 11.4% of adults in Oakland have diagnosed diabetes — 0.6 points below the U.S. 12% figure.
Vendor consolidation is boring on purpose: one account, IFUs filed, JE articles mapped. 10.2% of adults 18–64 here currently lack health insurance (CDC PLACES ACCESS2, 2023). Cash-pay PRP and Medicare CTPs cannot share one consent script. Pricing scripts have to match that mix. We will help write them. We will not book your patients.
CDC PLACES (2023, crude prevalence) estimates 11.4% of adults — 0.6 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 27.6%; arthritis is 19.6%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Oakland trial.
Yes — receiving, storage, indication, and documentation templates are part of onboarding. SOPs still have to be adopted as the clinic’s own procedures; we do not pretend to be the medical director in Oakland.
Yes. Tissue products come from FDA-registered banks with donor screening and lot traceability. Your receiving SOP should file IFU, lot, and indication with the chart. That packet is what JE reviewers and surveyors expect — not a brochure.
No. PRP (autologous) and cellular/tissue products (allograft/skin substitutes) sit on different coding and coverage paths. Noridian Healthcare Solutions LCDs for CTPs do not automatically cover PRP injections. Build separate protocols and fee tickets.
Ask for the IFU, the lot-traceability packet, and the Noridian Healthcare Solutions article IDs for the codes you actually bill. If the sales sheet cannot produce those, do not put it in a Oakland fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
