insurance coverage....

Hello- I am looking for help... My daughter has Alopecia universalis... We were informed that insurance does not cover "full cranial prothesis" Our insurance company said,"it is not a necessity"... its a cosmetic thing.. Does any one have any help on this ... if it was an arm or leg, then they'd cover it... well (not to be mean but you can live with out an arm or leg... hello..). I am sooooo upset...

Hi, Barbara. A few weeks back, there was discussion of this very matter on this site. Click here to read that discussion and perhaps find some useful information. You may also want to comment on that earlier discussion as well, just in case someone who followed or participated in it can provide you with more relevant information.

hello, I dont know if this will help but hairclubforkids (1800-269-7384) provides 3 wigs for free a year to kids 6-18 with documented proof from MD and copy of birth certificate. My daughter has her fitting for her first tom.
