National Wound Care Dressing Products for Healthcare Providers 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 Charleston we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range.

South Carolina is in CMS MAC JM, administered by Palmetto GBA. CTP and skin-substitute coverage is written at the MAC level. Confirm the current LCD/article before you set utilization — we help practices map product to those rules; we do not override them.
Body copy and schema dateModified follow a pinned content version date, not a daily timestamp. CDC and CMS figures are cited to the public reports named on the page. Recheck MAC LCDs before each utilization change — those move faster than a landing page.
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 JM reviewers and surveyors expect — not a brochure.
If you operate in South 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 Charleston tickets into the wrong jurisdiction.
