7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Epidural costs: An epidural blood patch is a procedure that is reimbursed without regard for the time involved. Insurance companies reimburse contracted md's at 4 to 6 units. Medicare , medical, and blue cross pay around $100. Other insurances pay around $200 - $500. If you have no insurance, $350 - $600.

Epidural blood patch: The cost will vary widely from hospital to hospital. That is one of the problems with our current medical system and a problem that should lessen over the next few years because of the health care affordability act.
