STEP 1:

Determine benefit coverage and finding a Hair Loss Specialist

Determining what types of benefits you have within your network for a “Cranial Hair Prosthesis”  is very important in order to process your claim without risking denial. Terminology is extremely important, DO NOT call the unit a WIG. If you refer to your hair system as a wig you will be denied for a cranial prosthesis unit. Only refer to your hair system as a cranial prosthesis unit / medical grade cranial prosthesis hair system. NOT A WIG. A WIG IS FOR FASHION!

Finding a hair loss specialist that is right for you can difficult, take your time and don't allow anyone to rush you through the process. A consultation is required for the Hair Loss Specialist  to understand your needs. During your consultation you should go over the insurance provider and coverage you have, the type of hair system you desire, take head measurement, type of style you will require, will the hair loss specialist be styling the unit for you or will you be taking it to your own personal stylist to style. 

Your Hair Loss Specialist will inform you of all fees and / or discounts  associate with your purchase along with any maintenance instructions.

STEP 2:

Diagnosis: Obtain A Prescription

Visit your PCP  if you are experiencing any form of medical hair loss. Make sure to receive a diagnosis from your doctor for a medical condition that causes your medical hair loss. Make sure your doctor writes you a prescription for a cranial prosthesis unit. The PCP can also write a letter of support explaining your need for a cranial prosthesis unit / hair system.

STEP 3:

 Completing your purchase. 

Once you have gone through step one and two you would then go back to your hair loss specialist with the coverage amount, the prescription, and the letter of support and begin the process for processing the claim for your cranial prosthesis unit / hair system. When the Cranial Prosthesis Unit is purchased it is important for the invoice to list the Hair System as a cranial prosthesis with the proper medical code. The invoice should be submitted to the insurance company for payment or reimbursement.
