Can Health Insurance Cover the Cost of My Medical Wig?

Absolutely.

 

Are you experiencing temporary or permanent hair loss due to illness or genetics? Many people are unaware that if you lose your hair due to medical conditions such as chemotherapy, alopecia, trichotillomania, or other related health issues, you may be eligible to file an insurance claim to cover part or all of the cost of a cranial prosthesis from a certified cranial prosthesis specialist within your insurance network.

 

How Can You Tell if Your Insurance Covers Cranial Prosthetics or Wigs?

 

Navigating insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, but we are here to help. Revived Beauty was founded by an alopecia and lupus survivor, Army Major (Retired) Taunya Ford, who was also her first patient. Because of this personal experience, we understand the importance of compassionate support during your journey. Over the years, we have established strong relationships with numerous insurance providers and are ready to assist you in determining whether your insurance plan covers cranial prosthetics or wigs. It would be our pleasure to guide you through the process with care and understanding.
