Long gone are the days of the matronly wig, typically styled in one or two ways, made from cheap synthetic fibers that looks like a wig and makes the wearer feel even more subconscious. These days, wigs come in a variety of shapes, styles, cuts, colors, and even hair. You can still get a synthetic wig if you so choose because synthetic wigs are typically less expensive than its human hair counterpart. However, a synthetic wig will look and feel like human hair because of the quality materials that are used. If you choose a wig made of human hair, you will get the look, feel, and utility of natural hair fibers. You can also go to your beautician and have it styled in the way that you want so that it can increase the natural-ness of your look. Wigs are a perfect way to hide your thinning or balding hair until it grows back. Do not be apprehensive of choosing a wig, there are so many styles and options than ever before and will give you back the confidence you want.

If you are concerned that people will be able to tell that you are wearing a wig, don’t be! Wigs can be fashioned to be as long or as short as you would like them to be, they can be customized to your preferences and even dyed or colored to closely match your natural hair color and because they are so customizable today, wigs don’t carry the stigma that they used to.

Experiencing hair loss can be something that can make women feel less than pretty or have low self esteem, but with beautiful, nicely made wig you don’t have to worry about that. If you are a daring woman and don’t mind letting others know that you wear a wig or extensions, you can easily change up your look without having to go to drastic or expensive measures. If you want to be a blonde you can be and if you want to have long flowing red locks you can do that too. Wigs open up the doors to new and imaginative looks.

“I’m finding that about 30 percent of insurance companies cover cranial prosthetics, which is simply another term for your wig,” says Terri Johnston, owner and hair replacement specialist of The Inspiration Salon in Rockford, III.

A Hair prosthesis (or cranial prosthesis), is a custom-made wig exclusively intended for patients who have lost their hair as a result of medical conditions or treatments, such as alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, trichotillomania, chemotherapy, or any other clinical disease or treatment resulting in hair loss. The term is used when applying for medical insurance or tax deduction status.

What do you need to get your wig reimbursed?

The bottom line for obtaining the reimbursement is proper documentation and prescriptions stating the cause of hair loss and the need of Cranial Hair Prosthesis from your doctor. Copy of your purchase orders, a confirmation of prosthetic coverage from the insurance company.

If your claim is rejected you can always ask for a written copy of the reason as to why the reimbursement was not accepted. Also it is good to contact your insurance company and know the detailed procedure before indulging yourself in filling up the insurance forms.

Many of the manufacturers today are designing exceptional high quality wigs that give relaxing caps, high quality synthetic fibres, long-lasting human hair, and particular resources to attain a safe and sound fit. Many of these products will be extremely light weight and have a very natural look.

These wigs are referred to as medical cranial hair prosthesis to some extent because this jargon is essential to obtain compensation from insurance companies for the wigs that are needed when hair is lost due to medical conditions.

Guidelines in order to obtain the reimbursement from the insurance company are

• A prescription from your physician for a cranial prosthesis.
• Check the benefits of your insurance. There should be a section under covered expenses related to prosthesis.
• Ask that your physician write a “PRESCRIPTION” for a “CRANIAL PROSTHESIS“.
• Inform the insurance company about your medical need for alternative hair
• Send your sales receipts for your cranial prosthesis.
• Enclose a letter to the insurance company stating the necessity of prosthesis.
