Your insurance company may pick up your bill for your hairpiece purchase!

Did you know if you are someone who is dealing with alopecia, medical related balding or cancer related chemotherapy and/or radiation and need to wear a hair system, toupee, wig, or hairpiece, that your health insurance plan may cover the full cost.  You’ll be surprised to know that most insurance companies will cover between 80 - 100% of a “cranial prosthesis.”  Insurance companies are starting to realize the important role that cranial hair prosthesis plays in the life of someone suffering with the side effects of these medical conditions. 

Here are a few tips that may help you figure out if you can go through your insurance and be reimbursed for your new purchase.

- When filing your claim, be sure to refer to your hair system as a cranial hair prosthesis   

- Read over your policy and double check your coverage portion. 

  (Make sure your policy covers expenses for prosthesis or prosthetics)

- Request a prescription from your physician for your full or partial cranial prosthesis

- Check with your physician for details and referrals for proper specialists and procedures in the field

-Write a letter to your insurance company to clarify the necessity of your prosthesis

- Make sure you, your physician and your specialist fill out and sign all proper documents

- Be sure to keep personal copies of all your paperwork and invoices  

Good Luck & Good Looking!

Partial Hair Replacement Systems

Partial hair replacement systems are designed specifically to cover a small balding area. This would commonly be used by someone who started to notice balding in either the temples or the crown of the head. The partial hair replacement can be designed using both fine welded mono as well as injected skin base. This hair system may be bonded as well as taped on depending on preference. As your balding area gets larger your partial is going to bet bigger as well, until you no longer need it and can switch over to a full front lace or injected skin system. Partial hair replacement systems can be created in any shape any size to fit your specific needs, this also makes it a great option for individuals looking to cover a specific area due to an accident or an illness such as Alopecia Areata.

Client Testimony - Do's & Don'ts of Hair Replacement

Here are a few words from one of my satisfied, long time Clients!

Hair Loss Key Words

Here’s a few terms and meaning that you may come across while researching hair loss options.  A great aid for navigating through the world of hair replacements.

Hair Replacement

A general term for any procedure in which encroaching baldness is non-surgical or  surgically reversed by grafting, tightening, or flap rotations, using standard grafts, minigrafts, and micrografts, scalp flaps, scalplifting procedures, scalp reduction, and tissue expanders

Male Pattern Baldness

A progressive, diffuse loss of scalp hair in men that begins in the twenties or early thirties, depends on the presence of the androgenic hormone testosterone, and is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. Also called alopecia hereditaria, androgenetic alopecia, male pattern alopecia, patterned alopecia.

Alopecia simply means hair loss (baldness).

Alopecia areata

is a condition that causes round patches of hair loss, and can lead to total hair loss.

Alopecia totalis is the loss of all head hair.

Alopecia universalis

is a medical condition involving rapid loss of all hair of the head and the body.

Bald/ Balding

having little or no hair on the scalp.

Hair transplantation

 is a surgical procedure used to treat baldness or hair loss. Typically, tiny patches of scalp are removed from the back and sides of the head and implanted in the bald spots in the front and top of the head.

Hair graft

 a thin strip of hair-bearing scalp is removed, separated into pieces of 1 to 5 hair follicles, and then implanted into hairless areas.

"hair replacement" is for men "Wigs" are for women "hair replacement" is for men

I come across many men referring to hair replacement as wigs. After which I have to explain that wigs are for women and that men wear hair replacements, hairpieces, hair systems, toupees, or hair restorations. If a male suffering from hair loss types in wigs into the search engine they will most likely be bombarded by sites dedicated to women. These are not the websites you want to visit because these people do not specialize in men's hair replacement. You will receive a much better service at a company that specializes in ether men or women. Also while looking for a hair replacement provider make sure you do not get sucked into a hairpiece contract and that you are not dealing with a large chain (usually in larger companies you get worse quality of product and service). Sticking with a small local hair replacement studio that specializes in a specific gender and has years of experience is your best bet to get phenomenal hairpiece results.

PS. For best results buy a custom made hair system.
