Milestone Scientific

Milestone Scientific Inc. announced that Sudhir Rao, M.D., Medical Director of Pain and Spine Specialists, and Pain and Spine Specialists have joined the company as a development partner and member of its CompuFlo Advisor Program. Pain and Spine Specialists is a multi-state interventional pain management organization with 22 locations across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. The practice's footprint aligns with two strategically important Medicare Administrative Contractor regions for Milestone: its Maryland and Pennsylvania presence falls within Medicare Jurisdiction L, administered by Novitas Solutions, while its Florida locations fall within Medicare Jurisdiction N, administered by First Coast Service Options. As a development partner, Dr. Rao and his team will provide feedback on clinical workflows, product functionality, physician and staff experience, training, future applications and ongoing product development. Milestone said the relationship is expected to contribute real-world clinical experience and physician engagement as it pursues its longer-term reimbursement strategy, including its journey toward establishing Category I CPT status for objective epidural confirmation.

Milestone Scientific has launched the first phase of its artificial intelligence strategy with the pilot debut of Milo, an AI-enabled digital engagement platform, at the American Society of Pain and Neuroscience Annual Conference in Miami Beach. Milo is designed to answer product questions, provide educational information, collect customer data, assist with lead qualification, and connect healthcare professionals with sales and support teams. The company plans to use feedback from the ASPN pilot to guide future development, with a broader vision of integrating software, data, and AI across commercial and customer support activities. The platform is part of a strategy focused on customer engagement, commercial excellence, clinical innovation, and a connected MedTech ecosystem.
