Athens is a city under 250k (127,584 Census). CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 10.1% of adults in Athens have diagnosed diabetes — 1.9 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Adult arthritis here is 19.2% (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.
National Wound Care Dressing Products for Healthcare Providers notes (how the product actually works)JJ reviewers still want serial wound measurements and conservative-care history before CTPs, whether diabetes in Athens is 10.1% or not. PLACES is planning data. The LCD is the claim.
If you already buy wound care dressing products elsewhere, use this page as a check: homologous-use language, current Palmetto GBA article IDs, and PLACES 10.1% diabetes as the epidemiologic floor. If that is how you already practice, the catalog will fit.
CDC PLACES (2023, crude prevalence) estimates 10.1% of adults — 1.9 points below the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 30%; arthritis is 19.2%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Athens trial.
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 JJ reviewers and surveyors expect — not a brochure.
CDC estimates 12% of the U.S. population has diabetes (40.1 million people, 2023). America's Health Rankings (BRFSS 2024) shows state adult rates from Colorado 8.4% to West Virginia 18.4%. We do not publish a made-up city diabetes count. Use national/state published rates plus your panel.
We source from FDA-registered banks. Bank location is not the same as Hawk Medical’s distribution address, and it is not a Athens clinic. Ask for the bank’s registration and AATB status on the SKU you want.
If you operate in Georgia and another MAC state, say it on the first call. JJ will not port 1:1. We would rather split utilization than watch a sister clinic copy Athens tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
