Laredo is a city of 250k–500k (255,205 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 16.4% of adults in Laredo have diagnosed diabetes — 4.4 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 18.8% (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 Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Therapy 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 Laredo we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range.

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 We do not publish a made-up city diabetes count.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.
Ask for the IFU, the lot-traceability packet, and the Novitas Solutions article IDs for the codes you actually bill. If the sales sheet cannot produce those, do not put it in a Laredo fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
