Medical Wigs Insurance Coverage: What You Need to Know

While medical wigs insurance coverage varies by provider and plan, many customers choose to submit claims to their insurance company to pursue partial reimbursement for a cranial prosthesis – the medical term for a wig.

Follea does not submit claims directly due to differences across insurance plans, however our consultants provide everything you need to file a claim on your own, including:

  • A detailed cranial prosthesis (medical wig) invoice
  • Appropriate documentation for medical hair loss wigs reimbursement
  • Support with commonly used medical wig prescription and HCPCS codes

This ensures you have the proper documentation required by most insurance companies when filing for reimbursement. If you are unsure if your provider covers cranial prosthesis, it is highly recommended to reach out to them for information.

FAQs

What is a cranial prosthesis, and how is it different from a regular wig?

A cranial prosthesis is the medical term for a medical wig designed for individuals experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy, alopecia, thyroid hair loss, or other medical conditions. It typically features gentle, breathable materials and a secure fit suitable for sensitive scalps. While Follea does not offer a separate “medical wig” category, many women with medical hair loss choose Follea wigs because of their natural appearance, lightweight construction, and comfortable fit.

Can I use a Follea wig as a cranial prosthesis for insurance reimbursement?

Insurance policies vary, but many providers recognize a cranial prosthesis when prescribed by a doctor. Although Follea does not submit claims directly or guarantee coverage, customers often use Follea wigs as their cranial prosthesis and submit for medical wigs insurance coverage independently. We provide detailed invoices and commonly used HCPCS codes to support your insurance submission if your plan allows reimbursement.

How do I get a prescription for a cranial prosthesis or medical wig?

A physician, dermatologist, or oncologist can write a prescription for a cranial prosthesis if your hair loss is medically related. The prescription usually includes the term “cranial prosthesis” and your diagnosis code. Once you have the prescription, we can help prepare the documentation needed to submit your claim for potential medical hair loss wigs reimbursement.

What features should I look for in a wig if I have alopecia or chemotherapy-related hair loss?

When researching wigs for alopecia or wigs for medical hair loss, it’s helpful to look for:
• Lightweight, breathable cap designs
• Soft materials suitable for sensitive or bare scalps
• Secure construction for daily wear
• Natural movement and appearance

Follea wigs are not labeled as “medical wigs,” but their hand-tied craftsmanship, breathable caps, and natural hair quality make them a common choice among women experiencing medical hair loss

Are human hair wigs better for women with alopecia or medical hair loss?

Many women prefer human hair medical wigs because they offer a realistic look, natural movement, and long-term durability. Human hair wigs can be especially helpful for women with permanent forms of hair loss, such as alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia. Follea’s human hair wigs are often chosen for these reasons, although preferences vary depending on lifestyle, budget, and maintenance needs.

Can I wear a wig every day if I'm undergoing chemotherapy or have total hair loss?

Yes, many individuals wear a wig daily during periods of medical hair loss, including chemotherapy or alopecia. Comfort depends on cap construction, scalp sensitivity, and personal preference. Follea wigs are not marketed specifically as medical wigs, but the gentle materials, secure fit, and breathable caps are designed to be comfortable for everyday wear.

How do I know which wig style or construction is right for my type of hair loss?

The best option depends on the cause of your hair loss, the extent of thinning, and your comfort level. Women with alopecia may look for full-coverage caps, while those undergoing chemotherapy may prioritize softness and breathability. A consultation can help you explore different cap types, densities, and lengths—regardless of whether you’re seeking a traditional wig or one that can serve as a cranial prosthesis.

Unbelievable Experience

I was new to alternative hair and hit my rock bottom and realized I couldn’t put off a wig any longer. Ashley is absolutely incredible. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and so accommodating. She knew how vulnerable I felt and allowed me to take my time and get a piece I would be happiest with.

I am so grateful for this experience and I’m glad I found follea before being too traumatized elsewhere!

Truly, stop looking and buy the wig.

Dear Jenna,
Thank you so much for sharing your consultation experience with Ashley. It brings us so much joy to know she was able to help you find a piece that is best for you. We strive to help women feel comfortable and confident during there hair journey.

We’ve been seeing a lot of hair loss in our clients due to Covid. Intact has helped to significantly reduce the shed! Our clients love it and so does the salon plumbing!

Fear to FABULOUS!!

Ladies, if you’re asking yourself…”why is this so expensive in comparison to other options?”…don’t and take the plunge. You will know why INSTANTLY when you open it up! This purchase is for YOU to gain your confidence back, to feel pretty and to walk with pride so it’s worth it! We all spend so much on nothing, our kids, stupid things…We are worth investing in ourselves! I’m a first time buyer of a wig and I’m 51 yo. No current cancer or no chemo, just ruined my hair with extensions for many years. I experienced so much denial, fear, and much sadness but…Janet, what an angel…walked me through it, didn’t pressure me and was so incredibly patient with answering all my questions…she made me come to the realization how bad extensions are on your hair and if I’m going to try and see if I can regrow my hair, I need to take the extensions out, allow my head and follicles to breath naturally….all sounds like a good idea right? It was hard for me to realize this and knowing that I’d have to rely solely on a wig now at 51yo! But! As I mentioned above, it is worth it and I feel fabulous! It is so natural looking, it moves with you, it’s comfortable, and not crazy hot! You can style it however you want! I never write reviews but felt this was probably the most important one I could ever write in an effort to help someone else either like me who was afraid of needing a wig, or someone who is simply considering a new one from this company. And most of all, you are never alone through this journey. Janet is reachable and so helpful even after you receive it! I’m on the other side of the country from California and we went on this journey all via zoom and FaceTime! I’d you’re considering this, do it! They also graciously give you 7 days to decide, just keep it intact and no modifications and send it back for your money back or exchange! I didn’t mention that I purchased the “style” model and am extremely happy with it. I’ve only had it a week but wow, I’m me again and in minutes flat, I’m ready to go and look like I stepped out of the salon! If you’ve read this all, I wish you luck and congratulations on getting a new you…a gorgeous you, full of confidence!🤗

Dear Tara,

Your review closely touch all of our hearts and we can hope it does the same for others. We are pleased to know Janet was and is able to help you on your journey.

I cant say enough good things about the customer service I received from Janet. I was nervous cause it was my first time ordering from you on top of that I was getting a custom color, not only was the color spot on, but Janet was sooo patient walking me thru the process
I never felt rushed or hurried to make a decision, honestly she was a dream to work with. Now I'm thinking about the next one I'm going to get;)

Dear Kelly,

This is a great wig!

I absolutely love this wig and I wear it with tons of confidence! I purchased my Daniel Alain Follea Style wig on 12/24/20 and it still looks great! I wear wigs regularly due to hair loss and own other good quality wigs but once purchasing this one it has become my favorite wig and I have been wearing it about 5 days a week for over a year and a half. I wash and style it about once a week, use the best hair products available, style it with a T3 curling iron and even had it colored. I admit it is easier to style when on a stand but I have become pretty good at it and have not damaged it one bit, it still looks heathy and so soft. I wear it up, down, braided and even a pony tail, I do have to be a little creative when wearing it up but basically you can do with it whatever you would if it were your own natural hair.
I still love it so much and there is plenty of wear left but I thought it was time for a change and get a new one. When I went on line to look at styles again I realized I never reviewed it and that is why I am reviewing it now. Oh I almost forgot to mention how light and comfortable it is. I have worn it up to 18 hours, slept in it and even wear it on the beach without it feeling hot and sweaty, it really does not feel like you are wearing a wig. If you are on the fence about purchasing a Daniel Alain wig I can tell you it is a very good quality wig and you won't be sorry. Here are a few pics of me styling it and wearing it in different styles, the one of me in blue was last week and about 2 months after coloring it.

I get so many compliments on this wig. The Cappuccino color is so beautiful! I feel so confident when I wear her. I’ve worn so many of the years and I finally feel like I’ve found the one.

Easy Beauty!

My Follea Style (6-11) is in all honesty the most comfortable wig I've ever worn - and I hate anything on my head! This wig just... goes where it's supposed to, no pulling it this way or that, no realizing your doggone wig is crooked.. AFTER you walk in to work. This success is in no small part to the Fit Kit I was sent to make sure of my size. 😊

Also, to say the hair is beautiful gives beauty a bad name. The hair is stunning. (I wear color Latte.) My consultant, Ashley, virtually took my hand to guide me through the process of buying my wig. Her help was and still is invaluable.

My hairdresser is very comfortable styling wigs. She created just the right "style" for my Style. That said, even straight from the box, Follea rocks!

Reading your Follea experience warms our hearts, our goal and mission is to help women all over the world feel beautiful, confident and like their best self. Ashley is an amazing and knowlegable guide, that will continue to be with you on your hair journey!

We invite you to join our @Follea community on Instagram, to learn best practices for your new Follea.

Thank you very much!

Love,

Wig #6

The ready to wear wig I received from Daniel Alain is beautiful. The packaging was so respectful of the wig. So impressed. I called with questions before purchasing and the staff was very kind and respectful as Loosing my hair was so unexpected and stressful. Thank you for wonderful customer service and a beautiful wig. So many compliments on how it makes me look. Thank you.

We are honored and so glad to hear you had a pleasant experience! Thank you or trusting us to help you during your hair-loss journey.

Follea René

Ive had my follea Rene, 12 inch in the color Vienna, for almost a week and I love it more every day. I feel like a new woman, so confident and beautiful again. This wig has given me a bounce in my step again. It’s so soft, silky, doesn’t matte like my other wigs and feels like it is coming right out of my own head. Cynthia at follea did a virtual visit explaining everything, answering all my questions and sent me samples of wig caps and color swatches to try on. The process was stress free and exciting. Will definitely purchase another follea for sure.

Hi Nikki,

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write this review for us. We are so glad to know that you are loving our René wig and more importantly, feeling like confident and beautiful again!

Style 10 Inch Color 5005 Macchiato (comes with a soft rooting)

This is my first wig but not my first attempt with alternative hair. Its been a journey and one I knew I wanted to take with Follea. I was not wrong. The hair is silky soft and beautifully shiny. The staff is great and wonderful to work with. Their online consultation process is just what I needed. I received sample caps to try on to determine which size is the right size for me. I received color swatches as well to make the color selection process was a breeze. It does make a difference to see to the colors in person, dont be afraid to ask for color swatches. To see them against the light or while your home is worth it. All this happened after the online consultation, which was simple and fun. The rep provided samples of everything, explained the differences with each one. This helped me make a decision on what was right for me. Getting the samples of the wig caps and color swatches was a fun part of the experience but it also made me feel good about my decisions. I often worry about getting the wrong size and color. Once I was set ( and yes I changed my mind a bit) we went forward with the order. After I received my wig and cut the lace, the team was still there to help me with any questions I had.

Overall a great online purchasing experience. Once I received my Follea, I instantly knew this was it for me. I loved it and I was confident to wear it out.

Feeling Myself and Happy with a beautiful Follea Style, 10", Irish Cream

There are no words to fully express how grateful I am for finding Follea and meeting Janet. Her kindness combined with a professional, yet so gentle, advice helped me to find my beautiful natural looking European hair. Janet patiently showed me different styles and sizes (my head is so small!). She has never pushed me to anything. Only offered support and help on the way to my decision, and eventually ordered (incredibly urgently) the right size. I wish all patients to meet someone like Janet on their way! Before I found Follea, I faced a few horrible pushy people who wanted to make money of my sensitive, fragile situation of suddenly losing hair.
Today, I can face the Universe with a smile, again. I am back to work and normal life, interacting with people, attending important business meetings. Letting my health recover in calm confident state.
Thank You to Follea and Janet. May the Blessing and Kindness come back to You Multiplied Million Times.
I am already thinking of ordering a second Follea Style (bit longer this time). Every girl needs a special occasion HAIR! I have found mine.

Follea's Petite

Recently, I bought the Petite in Chai Latte blonde with a natural-looking darker root and customized my piece by adding a few wispy bangs. If you are like me and try to stretch the length of time between washes to prevent an itchy scalp and breakage, this little priceless gem is a quick four clips away from a good hair day.
