Cranial Prosthesis: Why Medical Wigs Matter and How NYC Medical Wigs Makes It Simple

Hair loss caused by medical conditions is more than a cosmetic change — it’s an emotional and life-changing experience. That’s why the medical world recognizes a cranial prosthesis (also known as a medical wig) as a necessary part of treatment and recovery.

At NYC Medical Wigs, our mission is simple: to lift the burden from your shoulders during one of the most difficult times of your life.


What Is a Cranial Prosthesis?

A cranial prosthesis is the medical term for a wig that is custom-fitted and designed specifically for patients experiencing hair loss due to:

  • Chemotherapy or radiation

  • Alopecia

  • Trichotillomania

  • Other medical conditions that cause hair loss

Unlike fashion wigs, a cranial prosthesis is recognized by insurance companies as a medical necessity, which means your health insurance may cover all or most of the cost.


Insurance Coverage: What Most People Don’t Know

Many women are surprised to learn that insurance can cover 80% to 100% of the cost of a cranial prosthesis.

The problem? The process is often confusing. Most providers don’t guide you through the paperwork, and many women never realize they qualified for coverage at all.

That’s where we come in.


How NYC Medical Wigs Lifts the Burden

We are proud to be one of the only companies in the United States that accepts insurance as a form of payment for medical wigs.

Here’s how we make it easy:

  1. Consultation – Virtual or in-person, we gather your insurance details.

  2. Insurance Verification – We contact your provider and handle the benefit analysis.

  3. Coverage Approval – Most clients qualify for 80% coverage, and some even receive 100% coverage.

  4. You Focus on Healing – While you get healthy, we take care of the rest.

And if your insurance doesn’t cover it? We’ve got you. We accept HSA/FSA funds and offer flexible financing options to make sure premium wigs remain accessible.


Why a Cranial Prosthesis Matters

A cranial prosthesis isn’t just about covering hair loss. It’s about:

  • Restoring dignity during treatment

  • Reducing emotional stress

  • Feeling like yourself again when you need it most

  • Walking into the world with confidence, even while healing


Our Promise to You

At NYC Medical Wigs, you don’t just get a wig. You get a partner who understands the medical process, handles the insurance red tape, and gives you the freedom to focus on what matters most: your health.

We believe that every woman deserves access to a premium medical wig without the stress of cost or paperwork. That’s why we’re here — to serve you, support you, and remind you that you’re never alone in this journey.
