Insurance Coverage for Medical Wigs

Most insurance carriers categorize cranial prostheses as durable medical equipment when prescribed by a physician for medical hair loss. The exact language matters: ask your doctor to write 'cranial prosthesis' (not 'wig') on the prescription, along with the appropriate L8030 or A9282 billing code. We provide an itemized receipt with the correct codes after every fitting so you can submit it for reimbursement. We are happy to coordinate paperwork with your provider's office on request.
