If you’ve been diagnosed with a condition that leads to hair loss, such as Alopecia Areata, or are undergoing chemotherapy, you might consider wearing a wig to boost your confidence by concealing hair loss.
Claiming on Insurance
Medical wigs can be quite costly as they are customized to fit your unique facial features. Due to their expense, it’s worth exploring the possibility of claiming them through your health insurance.
Getting Diagnosed
To initiate an insurance claim, you will need an official diagnosis from your doctor. Schedule an appointment to get a professional diagnosis, which you will use to support your insurance claim.
Filing the Claim
Once you have the doctor’s note, contact your insurance company to start the claim process. This usually involves filling out several forms and submitting them. Afterward, you’ll need to wait for the insurance company to review and decide on your claim.
Choosing the Wig
Take your time selecting the right wig for you. Aim for a wig that looks natural, matching your original hair color as closely as possible. Consider the wig’s cut and style, which can often be adjusted by a hairdresser to better suit your preferences.
