Wigs Covered by Insurance: How to Claim Your Benefits

How It Works

1. Get a Prescription
   
   Ask your doctor for a prescription for a “Cranial Prosthesis” that includes your medical diagnosis.
   
2. Check with Your Insurance
   
   Call your health insurance provider and ask what they reimburse for a Cranial Prosthesis.
   
   Helpful billing codes: S8095 and A9282
   
   
3. Take Photos
   
   Take a picture of yourself without your wig/topper. This helps show that your claim is for medical, not cosmetic, reasons.
   
4. Submit Your Claim
   
   Send your prescription, photos, and your Dimples receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
