No. Palmetto GBA writes coverage. We train staff on documentation patterns those articles already require (wound measurements, conservative care, units). That is support, not a coverage guarantee.
No. PRP (autologous) and cellular/tissue products (allograft/skin substitutes) sit on different coding and coverage paths. Palmetto GBA LCDs for CTPs do not automatically cover PRP injections. Build separate protocols and fee tickets.
The allograft is used to perform the same basic function in the recipient as in the donor (FDA 361). Using umbilical or amniotic tissue as a marketed “stem cell cure” for unrelated conditions is outside that lane and is a North Carolina compliance risk.
Ask for the IFU, the lot-traceability packet, and the Palmetto GBA article IDs for the codes you actually bill. If the sales sheet cannot produce those, do not put it in a Wilmington fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
