What You'll Need to Get Started
Getting your medical wig covered by insurance is simpler than most people think. Here's what the process typically requires:
📋
A Prescription from Your Doctor
Most insurance companies require a prescription or letter of medical necessity from your physician. If you don't have one yet, your Wig Medical specialist will guide you through exactly what to ask your doctor for.
🛡️
Your Insurance Information
We need your insurance provider name, member ID, and date of birth to verify your coverage. Wig Medical contacts your insurance company directly — you don't have to make any calls.
💬
A Consultation with Your Specialist
Once your insurance is verified, Wig Medical will match you with a dedicated Cranial Prosthesis Specialist. Most consultations happen via telehealth — from the comfort of your own home.
That's it. Wig Medical handles the insurance verification, the billing, and the coordination. Your only job is to show up for your consultation and help us find the right solution for you.
