Cancer: Better-Paid Wigs

An order published in Official Journal of 20 march 2019 changes the way hair prostheses are treated for people with cancer:

• class 1 wigs (of synthetic fibers) are reimbursed up to €350. This amount will also be the ceiling price of these items, allowing a no-charge offer for patients.
• Class 2 wigs (with at least 30% of natural hair) are reimbursed €250 for prices limited to €700.
• natural hair wigs exceeding €700 are not reimbursed.

In addition, the quality of all wigs that can be taken care of by the Health Insurance is enhanced by the increase in technical requirements.
