Depo-Provera eligibility check
This is a free tool for a woman who was given the Depo-Provera injection and has since been told about a meningioma or another finding on a brain scan. It asks four questions about the injections and the diagnosis, then returns the records that would document both, and the office that usually holds each one. It does not say whether you qualify for anything, what anything is worth, or how long you have. Those come from a lawyer who has read your records.
A free tool. Not legal advice. Starting a case check does not mean we represent you.
What you walk away with
- A records checklist built from your own answers
- The office that usually holds each record
- A dated sheet you can print and take with you
Your answers stay in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose to start a case check, and you can close this page and take nothing with you but the list.
Where the litigation stands

- Where the cases are
MDL No. 3140, In re: Depo-Provera (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) Products Liability Litigation
An MDL groups cases filed all over the country into one federal court for the early steps. It is not a class action. Each case stays its own case.
Check it at the source (opens in a new tab)- The court and the judge
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division. Judge M. Casey Rodgers, with Magistrate Judge Hope T. Cannon. Master docket 3:25-md-3140.
The court posts its orders for this litigation publicly. Anyone can read them without an account.
Check it at the source (opens in a new tab)- How many cases are in it
6,289 cases were pending in the MDL when the court wrote its case management order of August 10, 2026.
The panel's own statistics report of August 3, 2026 counted 6,294. Two offices count on two different days, which is why a number like this only means something with a date attached.
Check it at the source (opens in a new tab)- What the court has not decided
General causation and preemption were fully briefed by June 5, 2026. The court set the hearing on those motions for September 18, 2026. Its rulings apply to cases that are not eligible for the settlement program or that opt out of it.
General causation is the question of whether the drug can cause this tumor at all. It is still open, and it is the question everything else rests on.

Grouping cases together says nothing about whether any of them will succeed, and no court has decided whether this drug causes this tumor. The reading room page carries the rest of the record, including the study, its own stated limits, and what the approved label says.

Records that matter, and who usually has them
With the interactive version you answer four questions, get the shorter list that fits your own history, mark what you already have, and send the record to an attorney. Here is the whole list either way. None of it is required to start.
Proof of the injections
- Your injection or immunization record, with a date for every shot
- A pharmacy dispensing history, if you ever picked the shot up yourself
- Your health plan claim history, showing claims the plan processed by date of service
- An appointment card, a shot card, or old calendar entries
The record of the finding
- The radiology report that names what was found, and where
- The images themselves
- The notes from the doctor who ordered the scan and the one who explained it
If there was surgery
- The pathology report on the tissue that was removed
- The operative report
- The discharge summary, and any follow up scans since
The part only you have
- A written timeline: the years you got the shots, where you got them, and when you were told about the finding
- A list of every clinic, pharmacy and hospital involved, with the city and roughly the years
Take this list to whoever holds the records. You can ask for your own records yourself, and you do not have to explain why you want them.
How the check works
Four questions. It organises what you already know, sets it beside what the filings have in common, and tells you which records to go and find.
Did you receive Depo-Provera injections?
If you are not sure, say so. The next screen shows what it is called on a pharmacy or clinic record.
Roughly how long, and roughly how many injections?
Roughly is fine. The shot is usually given every three months, so about four a year is the common pattern. If you do not know, say so, and the checklist will tell you which record has the answer.
Have you been diagnosed with a meningioma or another brain or spinal tumor?
A meningioma is usually found on an MRI or a CT scan. The report often calls it a tumor on the covering of the brain, or names the meninges or the dura. If you do not remember the exact term, the radiology report should name the finding.
Roughly when was the diagnosis?
The year is enough. If you do not know which range fits, choose "I am not sure."
Get your records checklist
The pharmacy or clinic record with the injection dates, the imaging report that names what was found, the pathology report if there was surgery, and who holds each one. Print it, or send the whole record to an attorney.
If you want a lawyer to look at it, the case check picks up from here with what you have already entered. It is free to start and starting it does not mean we represent you.
Who this is built for
Women who used the shot and now have to reconstruct dates nobody wrote down for them, from records held by offices they have never spoken to.
See what to have ready- Women who only ever called it the shotOn a record it is Depo-Provera, depo-subQ provera 104, medroxyprogesterone acetate, MPA or DMPA. The first question has a not sure answer for exactly this reason.
- Anyone handed the word in a hallwayA meningioma is often found by accident, on a scan ordered for headaches or after a fall, and explained once. The radiology report is where it is written down.
- Women whose clinic or pharmacy is goneA health plan claim history and a state Medicaid record outlive a clinic that closed, and they carry the dates of service.
- Family helping somebody gather papersThe checklist is written so somebody else can work through it, and it says who to ask and what to ask for.
Being on this list is not a statement that anyone qualifies for anything. It only describes who tends to find this tool useful.
What this tool will not do
- It does not say whether you have a claimThat is what the attorney review is for.
- It does not estimate what anything is worthNo honest calculator can, and the settlement program's terms are confidential.
- It does not work out how much time you haveTime limits change by state, by court, and by what happened to you. Do not take a number off a website, including this one.
- It does not say the injection caused anythingResearch reported an association across a population. Whether it explains one person's tumor is not settled, and no court has decided it.
Questions people ask about this tool
- Does this tool tell me if I qualify for the Depo-Provera lawsuit?
- No, and it is built so that it cannot. It returns a list of records and the office that usually holds each one, and it sends the record you build to a licensed attorney if you ask it to. Who is covered by the settlement program is defined inside the agreement itself, which is confidential, and that is a question for a lawyer who has read your file.
- When does what I type here reach you?
- Only when you fill in your name and number on the last step and press send. Until then every answer stays in your browser, nothing is put in the web address, and nothing is saved on our side. If you close the tab before you send, it is gone, so print or copy anything you want to keep.
- I do not know how many injections I had. Can I still use this?
- Yes. Choose "I am not sure" and the checklist points you to records that may confirm the dates: the clinic's injection log, a pharmacy dispensing history, and your health plan's claim history.
- The clinic that gave me the shots closed. Are those records gone?
- Maybe not. Your health plan or Medicaid may have dates for services that were billed and submitted, subject to its retention and access rules. A pharmacy may also have dispensing records, although a chain may not be able to retrieve every store or every year. Ask each record holder what it still has and what authorization it needs.
- A scan found something but nobody used the word meningioma. What do I do?
- Ask for the radiology report rather than the images. The report is the part with the words in it, and it names what was found and where. Each office keeps its own chart, so the doctor who ordered the scan and the doctor who explained it are usually two separate requests.
- What does it cost to ask?
- Nothing. The tool is free and needs no account, and starting a case check is free. You can also ask a hospital, a clinic or a pharmacy for your own records yourself, and you do not have to explain why you want them.
Working on a different exposure? The firefighting foam page works the same way
Starting a case check does not mean we represent you. This page is not legal advice. Depending on where you live and what happened, another law firm may need to assist or handle it. We will name that firm and ask your permission before sharing anything.

When you want a person to look at it
The check ends with your name and the best number, and a licensed attorney reads the record you built. The checklist is yours to keep either way, and it is useful to you whatever anybody decides later.
