Epidural Blood Patch

Alaska rates for HCPCS 62273

This procedure treats a persistent headache caused by a leak of spinal fluid, often following a prior spinal procedure, by injecting a small amount of the patient's own blood into the space around the spinal cord. The blood forms a seal over the leak, which typically relieves the headache.
