Reports Increased CompuFlo® Adoption Following Assignment of Favorable Medicare Payment Rates; Expands Federal Outreach Following FSS Contract Award
ROSELAND, N.J., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milestone Scientific Inc. (NYSE: MLSS), a leading developer of computerized drug delivery instruments that provide painless and precise injections, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Neal Goldman, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific, commented, “We are encouraged by the growing momentum in our medical segment, where first quarter results reflect increased traction for the CompuFlo® Epidural System. During the quarter, we were pleased to see new practices integrating CompuFlo into their workflows. These adoptions reflect both the clinical value of our technology and the increasing recognition among pain management specialists of its ability to enhance patient safety and procedural efficiency.”
“Commercially, we remain focused on expanding penetration within existing Jurisdictional Medicare Administrative Contractors (JMACs) and are making measurable progress in our efforts to add new jurisdictions. We are actively engaging with additional JMACs and their advisory networks, and we are optimistic about securing broader regional alignment in the coming quarters. These efforts are supported by the assignment of favorable Medicare Part B physician payment rates for our technology under CPT code 0777T by First Coast Service Options (FCSO) and Novitas Solutions—two key JMACs. We believe this reimbursement framework is a critical catalyst for expanding access and accelerating adoption.”
“We are also advancing initiatives to expand access to CompuFlo in federal healthcare settings following the award of a contract under the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). This agreement enables eligible U.S. government medical facilities to procure CompuFlo, and we are now collaborating with key stakeholders to support adoption within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), Indian Health Service (IHS), and other federal healthcare systems committed to enhancing patient care.”
Mr. Goldman concluded, “In parallel, we maintained stable performance in our dental business and continued to exercise financial discipline, including the strategic delay of non-essential R&D and ongoing cost containment. Importantly, during the quarter, we secured $800,000 in convertible financing from members of our Board of Directors, including myself. The note carries a below-market interest rate of prime minus 2.5% and converts at the then-current market price, underscoring both investor-friendly terms and the strong confidence our leadership team has in Milestone’s growth trajectory. With this additional support and disciplined execution across both business segments, we are well-positioned to advance our commercial initiatives, broaden our reimbursement footprint, and create long-term value for shareholders.”
