Insurance Coverage for Cranial Prostheses (Medical Wigs)
At Hair As Prescribed Rx LLC, we understand that experiencing hair loss due to a medical condition or treatment can be overwhelming. Our goal is to make the process of obtaining a high-quality cranial prosthesis (medical wig) as simple and stress-free as possible.
Many health insurance plans may provide coverage or reimbursement for a cranial prosthesis when it is considered medically necessary. Coverage varies by insurance carrier and individual policy, so we are here to help you understand the process.
