CRANIAL PROSTHESIS
WHAT IS A
​​​A cranial prosthesis is a wig for medical patients who have permanent hair loss (such as alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, trichotillomania), or temporary hair loss resulting from treatment for chemotherapy, radiation, or any other clinical disease.
The term, cranial prosthesis, is used when applying for medical insurance or tax deduction status. Other common terms for a wig used for medical purposes include: full cranial prosthesis, hair prosthesis, cranial hair prosthesis, extra-cranial prosthesis.
Understand that Since the above processes are an ongoing condition, you may be eligible to receive full or partial coverage to purchase the full cranial prosthesis by your health insurance company.

PROSTHESIS MEDICAL WIG
INSURANCE COVERAGE
If you require a wig for an existing medical condition, you may be eligible for purchase reimbursement from your health insurance provider. Coverage and your eligibility will vary greatly on your health insurance company and insurance policy. Most insurance companies will reimburse a percentage or the full amount for a cranial hair prosthesis (a wig) for anyone suffering from medical hair loss. In order to find out if you're eligible for Medical "prosthetic" wig coverage, we recommend following these steps:
WHAT TO DO FIRST
Contact your health insurance company to find out if a medical "hair replacement" unit or "cranial hair prosthesis" qualifies for reimbursement, and if so what the parameters are. Remember it’s very important when discussing this topic with your insurance company to use the term “cranial hair prosthesis” or “cranial prosthesis,” and NOT the word ‘wig.’ The reason for this is because a wig would normally be categorized as a cosmetic product which typically isn’t covered by insurance.
TIME TO GET YOUR CRANIAL PROSTHESIS
Once you've confirmed you do have medical coverage for your "Cranial Prosthesis", follow these 3 easy steps, to streamline your insurance reimbursement claims process:
1. OBTAIN A PRESCRIPTION
Have your doctor provide you with a prescription, ensure your doctor uses the terms “cranial prosthesis” and NOT wig. Terminology is very important at this stage. Confirm with your insurance company, exactly what they want your doctor to write on the
prescription, so that there is absolutely no discrepancy.
2. SALES RECEIPT
After purchasing your medical wig, KSweets Hair Company will provide you with properly itemized bill of sale for your medical hair prosthesis. This will include our valid Taxpayer Number and NPI Number. The invoice will use proper medical terminology needed for
this purpose.
3. FILE YOUR CLAIM
When filing your claim, insurance companies may also require the claim to be under Durable Medical Equipment (DME).
The documents you’ll need,
1. Doctor’s prescription
2. KSweets Hair Company Receipt for cranial prosthesis
3. Completed claim form for your insurance company.
Make sure to keep a paper trail and a copy of everything in case there’s a delay or something goes missing. Things such as your prescription, purchase receipt, a completed insurance submission form, and correspondence with the insurance company.
Emails are great in this case.
