Lace Wigs Cranial Prosthesis Insurance
Medical Cranial Prosthesis (Lace Wigs) Insurance
Lace Wigs in the medical community are called Cranial Prostheses.
Divas Lace Wigs DOES NOT process insurance claims and we DO NOT accept prescriptions. However, we will assist you
through the entire process.
Before you do anything, contact your health insurance provider to find out if your policy covers cranial prostheses or lace
wigs and if so, the coverage amount. Also, find out exactly what they need from you to cover your purchase. Make sure you
follow all instructions given to you by your health insurance provider or your claim can be denied. Make sure you keep
copies of all of your documentation and invoices for tax purposes, if applicable.
Note: When speaking with your health insurance provider, you can use the term “Cranial Prosthesis or Lace Wig.” (they won't hold it against
you if you say "lace wigs." )
Based on our experience, many insurance companies will pay for or reimburse between 70-100% of the cost for a Cranial
Prosthesis. (The amount covered is based on the type of policy you have.) Generally, the health insurance provider usually
requires a prescription from your physician, oncologist or dermatologist for a cranial prothesis and a paid invoice.
Most insurance companies will require a prescription from your physician or oncologist for a cranial prosthesis and a paid
receipt.
