Getting Your Health Insurance to Cover the Cost of Your Unit

Note: We are not a Medical or Health Provider. We DO NOT process medical claims, nor do we accept prescriptions.

When you loss your hair due to medical reasons such as chemotherapy, alopecia, Trichotillomania, or other medical conditions, when requesting a prescription from your physician, the full lace wig should then be referred to as a "full cranial prosthesis" which will then enable it to be covered under most medical insurance policies Most insurance companies will cover between 80-100% cost for your full cranial prosthesis. However, if you request coverage for a wig, chances are your claim will be denied. So please make sure you request a "full cranial prosthesis."

If you require a cranial prosthesis due to permanent hair loss or hair loss during chemotherapy or alopecia treatment, you may be eligible to receive full or partial coverage to purchase the full cranial prosthesis by your health insurance company. You must contact your insurance company directly to see what the procedure is to obtain full or partial coverage for the full cranial prosthesis.
Your hair prosthesis may also be a tax deductible medical expense.

Steps to Follow:

• Call Your Health Insurance Provider and check the coverage on your policy to see if it covers a "full cranial prosthesis" for medical hair loss.
• If it is covered, ask them to explain their procedure for obtaining payment for the full cranial prosthesis
• IMPORTANT: We DO NOT process insurance claims nor accept prescriptions
• Some insurance companies will require you to pay upfront and then be reimbursed, others will pay for your prosthesis upfront.
• Select the Wigs listed under Full Cranial Prosthesis to ensure that your invoice will read correctly.
• If your insurance company covers it upfront, you can select Telephone/Insurance Payment for your wig during checkout
• If your insurance company reimburses you for the prosthesis, then you can select a payment method during checkout.
• Complete any other insurance forms and be sure they are signed by your physician
• Request your physician to write a prescription for a "full cranial prosthesis" not a wig
• Ask your physician to also write a letter explaining hair loss and its effects and have him state that it is not simply for cosmetic reasons but for emotional well being as well
• Keep copies of all of your documentation and invoices for tax exempt purposes
• Follow the instructions that you were given by your health insurance provider to submit the prescription so that you can obtain payment.

The above steps are for your reference. We wish you luck in obtaining insurance coverage for your unit.
