Birmingham is a city under 250k (200,733 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 19.2% of adults in Birmingham have diagnosed diabetes — 7.2 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 28.7% (CDC PLACES 2023, crude). That is the joint-pain backdrop for PRP and orthobiologics — not a promise that every arthritic knee is a candidate. Keep 361 tissue, autologous PRP, and skin substitutes on different tickets. We onboard against that split — then ship.
National Alternatives to Cortisone Injections notes (how the product actually works)JJ reviewers still want serial wound measurements and conservative-care history before CTPs, whether diabetes in Birmingham is 19.2% or not. PLACES is planning data. The LCD is the claim.

The allograft is used to perform the same basic function in the recipient as in the donor (FDA 361). Using umbilical or amniotic tissue as a marketed “stem cell cure” for unrelated conditions is outside that lane and is a Alabama compliance risk.
If you operate in Alabama and another MAC state, say it on the first call. JJ will not port 1:1. We would rather split utilization than watch a sister clinic copy Birmingham tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
