St. Louis is a city of 250k–500k (301,578 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 13.2% of adults in St. Louis have diagnosed diabetes — 1.2 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 24.2% (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.

Ask for the IFU, the lot-traceability packet, and the WPS Government Health Administrators article IDs for the codes you actually bill. If the sales sheet cannot produce those, do not put it in a St. Louis fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
