Baton Rouge is a city under 250k (227,470 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 15.3% of adults in Baton Rouge have diagnosed diabetes — 3.3 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 26.4% (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 Joint Surgery 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 Baton Rouge we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 15.3% of adults in Baton Rouge have diagnosed diabetes — 3.3 points above the U.S. 12% figure.
We are not going to invent a Baton Rouge warehouse or a five-star local review.

The local numbers on this page are CDC PLACES and CMS JH, not marketing adjectives.
CDC PLACES (2023, crude prevalence) estimates 15.3% of adults — 3.3 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 37.9%; arthritis is 26.4%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Baton Rouge trial.
Louisiana is in CMS MAC JH, administered by Novitas Solutions. CTP and skin-substitute coverage is written at the MAC level. Confirm the current LCD/article before you set utilization — we help practices map product to those rules; we do not override them.
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 Baton Rouge.
We source from FDA-registered banks. Bank location is not the same as Hawk Medical’s distribution address, and it is not a Baton Rouge clinic. Ask for the bank’s registration and AATB status on the SKU you want.
If you operate in Louisiana 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 Baton Rouge tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
