Medical Wigs for Hair Loss Due to Medical Conditions
What Is a Cranial Prosthesis?
A cranial prosthesis is a medically necessary wig designed for individuals experiencing hair loss due to medical conditions or medical treatments. Unlike cosmetic wigs, cranial prostheses are prescribed by a healthcare provider and may qualify for insurance reimbursement.
These prostheses are created to restore confidence, provide comfort, and support emotional well-being during hair loss.
Who Qualifies for a Cranial Prosthesis?
You may qualify if your hair loss is related to:
- Chemotherapy or radiation treatment
- Alopecia (areata, totalis, or universalis)
- Autoimmune disorders
- Trichotillomania (when medically documented)
- Hormonal or endocrine disorders
- Burns, scarring, or trauma to the scalp
- Other medically diagnosed hair loss conditions
A prescription or letter of medical necessity from a licensed provider is typically required.
