Cranial Prosthesis

 

                                                 What is Cranial Prosthesis ? 

Cranial Prosthesis is a custom-made wig specifically designed for individuals who have lost their hair as a result of medical conditions or treatments, such as alopecia chemotherapy, or any other clinical disease or treatment resulting in hair loss.

Can you use your medical insurance to pay for your wig? Yes!

 Many insurance companies provide either partial or full refunds for a “full cranial prosthesis” due to alopecia, chemotherapy treatment, psoriasis, or other non-pre-existing medical conditions.

You are probably already well aware that dealing with insurance companies can be difficult. Different insurance companies will have different policies regarding coverage for a cranial prosthesis, and many will require a prescription from your doctor.

You should talk with your doctor regarding a prosthesis and see if they have any advice from working with other patients with the same insurance provider. Whatever provider you use, be sure to contact them regarding your “cranial prosthesis” (DONT'T SAY WIG) when talking to your insurance provider) prior to purchasing a wig. Unfortunately,

Medicare and Medicaid DO NOT cover the costs of a cranial prosthesis.
