Joe Bradley will tell you the same thing he tells his own staff: epidemiology first, then MAC, then SKU. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 13.9% of adults in Houston have diagnosed diabetes — 1.9 points above the U.S. 12% figure. 24% 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 diabetic wound care against that mix.
National Diabetic Wound Care That Delivers notes (how the product actually works)CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 13.9% of adults in Houston have diagnosed diabetes — 1.9 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult obesity in Houston is 38% (CDC PLACES 2023). That shows up in wound offloading and in joint-preservation volume — not as a slogan. Adult arthritis here is 19.3% (CDC PLACES 2023, crude). That is the joint-pain backdrop for PRP and orthobiologics — not a promise that every arthritic knee is a candidate. Payer geography: JH / Novitas Solutions, sibling states AR, CO, LA, MS, NM, OK. Texas DSHS is the public-health home. We will not mash those grains into a fake “demand score.”
We are not going to invent a Houston warehouse or a five-star local review. What you get is diabetic wound care from FDA-registered sources, lot paperwork, and someone who has run the same SOPs in clinic — Joe Bradley. The local numbers on this page are CDC PLACES and CMS JH, not marketing adjectives.
CDC PLACES (2023, crude prevalence) estimates 13.9% of adults — 1.9 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 38%; arthritis is 19.3%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Houston trial.
Start with the CDC National Diabetes Statistics Report and America's Health Rankings diabetes measure (BRFSS). Texas DSHS is the state public-health home. Those are the citable sources — not this page’s city name in a headline.
CDC estimates 12% of the U.S. population has diabetes (40.1 million people, 2023). America's Health Rankings (BRFSS 2024) shows state adult rates from Colorado 8.4% to West Virginia 18.4%. We do not publish a made-up city diabetes count. Use national/state published rates plus your panel.
Texas is JH. A sister clinic in another state may be a different contractor with different CTP articles. Do not assume one utilization policy ports. We map both if you operate across MACs.
If you operate in Texas and another MAC state, say it on the first call. JH will not port 1:1. We would rather split utilization than watch a sister clinic copy Houston tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
