Adult obesity in Chattanooga is 36.3% (CDC PLACES 2023). That shows up in wound offloading and in joint-preservation volume — not as a slogan. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 13.9% of adults in Chattanooga have diagnosed diabetes — 1.9 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Tennessee includes CDC Diabetes Belt counties, so DFU planning belongs in the annual budget. Hawk Medical is the distributor for wound care dressing products, not a walk-in clinic.
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 Chattanooga is 13.9% or not. PLACES is planning data. The LCD is the claim.
Vendor consolidation is boring on purpose: one account, IFUs filed, JJ articles mapped. 12.7% 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 13.9% of adults — 1.9 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 36.3%; arthritis is 28.5%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Chattanooga trial.
No. Hawk Medical does not distribute products as “stem cell therapy.” HCT/P 361 allografts are regulated under 21 CFR 1271 for homologous use and minimal manipulation. PRP is autologous. Marketing that blurs those lanes is a compliance problem in every state, including Tennessee.
The 96.5% figure is a product-level clinical experience statistic published on our wound-care materials — not a city-specific trial. Your outcomes will depend on patient selection, offloading, and follow-up.
Tennessee is in CMS MAC JJ, 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.
Ask for the IFU, the lot-traceability packet, and the Palmetto GBA article IDs for the codes you actually bill. If the sales sheet cannot produce those, do not put it in a Chattanooga fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
