We are currently researching Medicare’s coverage of epidural blood patching for the treatment of spontaneous spinal CSF leaks, to better ensure all patients have a smooth process in submitting claims.

graphic inviting patients with spontaneous spinal csf leak who have medicare coverage and have been treated with an epidural blood patch to take our anonymous survey.


We are inviting patients with Medicare coverage who have received an epidural blood patch as treatment for SPONTANEOUS spinal CSF leak to complete an anonymous survey. This will help us learn more about current access to care in various geographical areas for those spinal CSF leak patients with Medicare.  

This survey will end September 30, 2022.
