Payer geography: J5 / WPS Government Health Administrators, sibling states KS, MO, NE. Iowa Health & Human Services is the public-health home. We will not mash those grains into a fake “demand score.”
Vendor consolidation is boring on purpose: one account, IFUs filed, J5 articles mapped. 10.6% of adults 18–64 here currently lack health insurance (CDC PLACES ACCESS2, 2023).

No. Hawk Medical LLC is a national distributor founded in 2014. We ship HCT/P 361-compliant tissue, PRP systems, and wound-care biologics to physician practices nationwide, including Iowa. There is no Des Moines storefront or local street address on this page because we are a service-area distributor, not a walk-in clinic.
Yes. Tissue products come from FDA-registered banks with donor screening and lot traceability. Your receiving SOP should file IFU, lot, and indication with the chart. That packet is what J5 reviewers and surveyors expect — not a brochure.
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.
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 Des Moines fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
