Understanding insurance for cranial prosthetics
Insurance benefits for a medical-grade wig—often called a cranial prosthesis—can vary by plan. We help you understand practical questions to ask, so you can move forward with greater clarity.
Clear information, without promises
Some health plans may offer benefits for cranial prosthetics when hair loss is related to a medical condition or treatment. Coverage, documentation requirements, allowable amounts, and reimbursement steps are determined by your insurer and individual plan.
We do not make coverage guarantees. Instead, we help you prepare for conversations with your insurer and identify the information that may be helpful when you are ready to ask about benefits.
