Durham is a city of 250k–500k (293,330 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 10.2% of adults in Durham have diagnosed diabetes — 1.8 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 20.6% (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.
National Wharton's Jelly Allograft Products notes (how the product actually works)America’s Health Rankings (BRFSS 2024) only publishes state diabetes as a range nationally (Colorado 8.4% to West Virginia 18.4%). For Durham we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 10.2% of adults in Durham have diagnosed diabetes — 1.8 points below the U.S. 12% figure.
Vendor consolidation is boring on purpose: one account, IFUs filed, JM articles mapped. 10.7% of adults 18–64 here currently lack health insurance (CDC PLACES ACCESS2, 2023). Cash-pay PRP and Medicare CTPs cannot share one consent script. Pricing scripts have to match that mix. We will help write them. We will not book your patients.
CDC PLACES (2023, crude prevalence) estimates 10.2% of adults — 1.8 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 36.8%; arthritis is 20.6%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Durham trial.
No. Hematogel is a PRP-based wound gel pathway with its own application and documentation. Skin substitutes/CTPs follow Palmetto GBA CTP articles. Mixing those codes is a billing error.
It is the Census city-proper count — useful as scale for a city of 250k–500k. It is not a count of orthopedic groups, wound centers, or competitors. Underwrite the program against your referral sources, not against the skyline.
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.
If you operate in North Carolina and another MAC state, say it on the first call. JM will not port 1:1. We would rather split utilization than watch a sister clinic copy Durham tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
