When you lose your hair due to a medical condition such as alopecia, lupus, or the effects of chemotherapy you can request a prescription from your physician for a "full cranial prosthesis" which is the appropriate term for insurance company reimbursement. Your hair prosthesis may also be a tax deductible medical expense.

A committee will review your application and may award you up to $500 if deemed eligible. To find out if you qualify, please contact them below:
