CDC PLACES vs. JH: two files, not one brochure

Adult obesity in Tulsa is 37.5% (CDC PLACES 2023). That shows up in wound offloading and in joint-preservation volume — not as a slogan. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 12.8% of adults in Tulsa have diagnosed diabetes — 0.8 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Oklahoma is outside CDC’s core Diabetes Belt list; use the PLACES city rate anyway. Hawk Medical is the distributor for prp wound care, not a walk-in clinic.

Where Tulsa programs actually stall

• CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 12.8% of adults in Tulsa have diagnosed diabetes — 0.8 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Adult obesity in Tulsa is 37.5% (CDC PLACES 2023). That shows up in wound offloading and in joint-preservation volume — not as a slogan. A CTP without offloading and serial measurements still fails JH review. Product is the last step, not the first.
• Medicare wound-care biologics in Oklahoma are paid under Novitas Solutions (JH). CTP and skin-substitute LCDs are MAC-specific — a protocol that billed cleanly in another jurisdiction can stall here if documentation does not match JH coverage articles.
• Oklahoma State Department of Health publishes state chronic-disease context that clinics can cite in patient education. Pair that with FDA 361 labeling — homologous use, minimal manipulation — so marketing does not outrun the product's actual regulatory lane.

Uninsured mix and Medicare CTPs in the same building

America’s Health Rankings (BRFSS 2024) only publishes state diabetes as a range nationally (Colorado 8.4% to West Virginia 18.4%). For Tulsa we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 12.8% of adults in Tulsa have diagnosed diabetes — 0.8 points above the U.S. 12% figure.
