What Center for Interventional Pain & Spine does

Center for Interventional Pain & Spine (CIP Spine) is a multi-site interventional pain management medical practice headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, operating 12 clinical locations across Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Founded and led by Philip Kim, MD, the practice delivers minimally invasive, image-guided pain procedures including spinal cord stimulators, intrathecal pumps, basivertebral nerve ablation, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablations. Its core technology relies on fluoroscopic X-ray guidance for precision needle placement combined with advanced implantable devices for complex chronic pain conditions. The practice also offers diagnostic EMG testing, durable medical equipment (braces, TENS units), and integrated behavioral health services at select sites.

The business model is professional services-based, monetizing office visits ($165 established, $450 new patient self-pay) and a broad procedure menu priced from $60 for minor injections up to $3,012 for spinal cord stimulator implants. The practice operates fee-for-service with insurance reimbursement across commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid plans, and has begun layering recurring revenue through telehealth-delivered Chronic Care Management ($100/month) and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring ($100/month) programs. A sales-led go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer appointment scheduling, primary care and specialist referrals, SEO-optimized condition and location pages, and patient testimonials. The practice maintains affiliations such as with Abington Surgical Center for higher-acuity procedures, and is staffed by 20+ board-certified physicians and advanced practice providers with fellowship training from institutions including Thomas Jefferson, Johns Hopkins, and University of Virginia.
