Brownsville is a city under 250k (186,738 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 18.7% of adults in Brownsville have diagnosed diabetes — 6.7 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 19.5% (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.

No. PRP (autologous) and cellular/tissue products (allograft/skin substitutes) sit on different coding and coverage paths. Novitas Solutions LCDs for CTPs do not automatically cover PRP injections. Build separate protocols and fee tickets.
A 510(k)-cleared device has a different regulatory file than a 361 HCT/P. Do not store, bill, or describe them as the same SKU family. Your SOP should split receiving and indication language.
Point-of-care spin, kit handling, and documentation basics. Injection technique, privileging, and ultrasound guidance remain the clinic’s clinical education path in Texas.
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 Brownsville fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
