Joe Bradley will tell you the same thing he tells his own staff: epidemiology first, then MAC, then SKU. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 17.6% of adults in Memphis have diagnosed diabetes — 5.6 points above the U.S. 12% figure. 14.9% of adults 18–64 here currently lack health insurance (CDC PLACES ACCESS2, 2023). Cash-pay PRP and Medicare CTPs cannot share one consent script. Then we pick wound care specialists against that mix.
National For Wound Care Specialists 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 Memphis we use CDC PLACES instead of interpolating a fake city rate from that range. CDC PLACES (2023, crude) estimates 17.6% of adults in Memphis have diagnosed diabetes — 5.6 points above the U.S. 12% figure.
Vendor consolidation is boring on purpose: one account, IFUs filed, JJ articles mapped. 14.9% 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 17.6% of adults — 5.6 points above the U.S. 12% figure. Obesity is 42.1%; arthritis is 27.3%. That is place-level BRFSS modeling, not a clinic census and not a Memphis trial.
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.
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.
The allograft is used to perform the same basic function in the recipient as in the donor (FDA 361). Using umbilical or amniotic tissue as a marketed “stem cell cure” for unrelated conditions is outside that lane and is a Tennessee compliance risk.
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 Memphis fridge. That is how an account with us starts.
