Free · Working PatientsInsurance Coverage for Your Wig: One Important Tip
When speaking with your doctor or insurance provider, always use the term "cranial prosthesis" — never "wig." Insurance companies often deny wig coverage as cosmetic, but a cranial prosthesis is recognized as durable medical equipment. Ask your oncologist for a formal prescription with the appropriate diagnosis codes before making any purchase.
Ask your oncology team if they have a social worker or patient navigator on staff — they are trained specifically to help you file insurance claims and locate financial resources. You do not have to navigate the paperwork alone.
