Where can I get a prescription?

Many people are entitled to financial support for the purchase of a wig or hairpiece as part of medical treatments. However, to claim this, they need a corresponding prescription. Such a prescription can be issued by the following doctors:

• Oncologists
• Dermatologists
• Gynecologists
• Internal medicine specialists
• General practitioners

What for some is merely a piece of paper, for affected individuals is often the key to a better quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial that doctors are informed about their patients' rights and can show them options related to acquiring a wig or hairpiece.

When can a wig or hairpiece be prescribed?

There are various medical treatments where doctors can prescribe a wig or hairpiece. These include:

• Chemotherapy
• Radiation therapy
• Alopecia areata (circular hair loss)
• Hereditary or age-related hair loss

Regardless of whether it is an adult or a child, the existing medical findings play a decisive role.

How much do health insurance companies contribute to a wig or hairpiece?

As a rule, no health insurance company covers the entire cost of a wig or hairpiece. The amount of financial support varies depending on the diagnosis. For this reason, it is of great importance that the diagnosis is recorded as precisely as possible on the prescription. The document should always clarify whether the hair loss is permanent or temporary.

Furthermore, the requirements and support models vary for synthetic and real hair, as well as for wigs for children compared to adults. To comprehensively inform patients about their rights, it is important to familiarize oneself with the respective services of the health insurance companies.
