Insurance Coverage

Commercially insured individuals diagnosed with a medical condition resulting in hair loss, may qualify to receive a cranial hair prosthesis (medical wig) with little to no out of pocket costs. Coverage and eligibility vary among insurance providers, therefore myHAIR recommends the following initial steps:

• Call us! After answering a few questions about your medical condition (hair loss) and medical coverage, we will contact your insurance provider to verify eligibility and coverage amount.
• Obtain a prescription from the treating physician stating “Prescribed Cranial Hair Prosthesis required for medical reasons”. The prescription must also include the specific diagnosis and diagnosis code.
• Request a separate detailed letter from the treating physician explaining the extent of the hair loss and the mental distress experienced due to the medical condition, treatment, and effects on daily life.
• Photograph your hair – ensure the areas of hair loss are highly visible. The photos will show that the claim is not for cosmetic purposes.

Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account Benefits can be used to purchase a cranial hair prosthesis.

Hair Prosthesis without Medical Coverage

Don’t have coverage? No need to stress! If extenuating circumstances apply, flexible payment options may be taken into consideration.

We will provide you with a properly itemized receipt when you purchase from myHAIR, LLC as your Cranial Hair Prosthesis may be considered a tax deductible medical expense.
