How To Have Your Wig Covered By
Medical Insurance
What is a Cranial Prosthesis?
​
A cranial prosthesis is a wig for medical patients who have hair loss (such as alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, trichotillomania), or temporary hair loss resulting from treatment for chemotherapy, radiation, or any other clinical disease.
The term, cranial prosthesis, is used when applying for medical insurance or tax deduction status. Other common terms for a wig used for medical purposes include: full cranial prosthesis, hair prosthesis, cranial hair prosthesis or extra-cranial prosthesis.
​
Your Coverage Depends On Your Insurance Plan
​
For medical hair loss, you may be eligible to obtain full payment for a cranial prosthesis. Depending on your policy, some insurance companies will require you to pay upfront and then be reimbursed; while others will pay for your prosthesis upfront.
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.

What We Need to Confirm
​
-
If your policy covers a cranial prosthesis
-
If yes, what type of cranial prosthesis is covered (i.e., synthetic wigs, human hair wigs, etc.)
-
How much of the cost will the insurance pay
-
What specific terminology is needed to have on the prescription for a wig
-
What specific documentation is needed to submit your claim
​
Note: If you are reviewing your insurance policy and do not see cranial prosthesis listed, this does not automatically mean that you don’t have coverage. We highly recommend using our medical billing department to help navigate through this process.
​
What We’ll Need:
​
-
Obtain a prescription for a “cranial prosthesis” (or the specific terminology required by your Health Insurance Provider) from your doctor with the medical procedure code A9282. Make sure the prescription does not say “wig.” A wig is a fashion item and is therefore not medically necessary.
-
Add an extra touch: Ask your physician to also write a letter explaining hair loss and its effects on your emotional well-being.
-
We will provide you with a copy of your invoice with a notation on the bottom that describes your purchase as a Cranial Prosthesis along with Majoreactions' Tax ID number.
