Do Insurance Companies pay for Medical wigs?
Your Coverage Depends on Your medical Insurance Plan​. For medical hair loss, you may obtain payment for the full cranial prosthesis. Depending on your policy, some medical insurance companies will pay for your medical wig upfront while others insurance companies may require you to pay upfront and then be reimbursed. Most insurance companies will cover between 80-100% of the cost for your full cranial prosthesis and will allow you to receive one cranial prosthesis per year for medical hair loss. Depending on your insurance, your prosthesis may also be a tax-deductible medical expense.
At OGP Medical Wigs, we help you with the entire process from choosing a wig to directing you in the right direction so you can get your cranial prosthetic approval by your medical insurance.
