One of the first questions clients ask the staff at Chrysalis Custom Hair is whether or not the purchase of a wig is covered by insurance. The answer to this question will depend on your personal insurance policy. If you have a cancer wig, the benefit may be different than a wig for alopecia or other kind of medically necessary wig. While we do not work directly with any insurance companies, we do have tips you can follow to ensure that if your insurance carrier covers a cranial prosthesis (a wig) for your medical condition, you will get reimbursement from them. Cranial Prosthesis and Wigs Insurance coverage is possible!
We issue detailed receipts complete with the proper codes so that you can more easily file it. Then you send that receipt along with your prescription to your insurance company in order to get reimbursed. Wig coverage is possible! In other words, when your insurance determines the level of your coverage you may receive a check from your insurance company. Sometimes you can get in network benefits from an out of network provider by filing a Gap Exception Form. Please find a pdf at the bottom of this page to help guide you through the process.

Custom wigs fit the exact measurement of your head and are cut, colored, and styled according to your preference of human hair or synthetic hair wig. Those who want the most natural look prefer custom made wigs. Depending on your timeline some wigs can be made to include your every specification. Wigs can be all lace, have a widows peak added, or be created on any kind or color of fabric you would like. They can be made to have your own curl pattern whether that is extremely curly or just a little wavy. Baby hairs can be built in or added on. You can even have a swirl pattern added if that what you’d like. These ultra custom wigs can take up to 4 months to create. If you need a wig sooner than that Chrysalis Custom Hair has hundred of custom wigs in stock that have already been sewn together. All that’s left to do is customize it to mimic your color and hair style.
A number of online wig shops offer custom wigs. They will attempt to help you get the right measurements and show you wigs virtually. These wigs, once made, are not returnable and the companies will not offer further assistance once you have received the product. Most novices, even with guidance, are not able to get accurate measurements for a perfect fit. Without seeing, touching, and trying on the hair there is no way to tell if it is going to pass as natural looking. Online stores use special lighting to hide flaws such as hair that is too shiny or thick and thus looks “wiggy”. You can certainly get a cheaper wig by ordering online but be prepared to accept that the product that may not be what you were hoping for.
