Social Security Reimbursement - CPAM
People experiencing total hair loss due to illness or its treatment, such as chemotherapy, can benefit from comprehensive coverage for the purchase of hair prostheses or accessories to conceal this loss. This assistance aims to support patients throughout their treatment journey, while also providing them with greater psychological comfort and an improved quality of life.
Since April 3, 2019, a new pricing agreement has governed the coverage of these devices. It establishes three categories of hair prostheses, each corresponding to a specific reimbursement level based on the product's characteristics. This classification allows for a better adaptation of the available options to individual needs and budgets.
Furthermore, renewal is permitted every 12 months from the date of purchase, whether it concerns a wig or covered textile accessories such as scarves or caps. This allows beneficiaries to regularly replace their equipment, depending on wear and tear or changes in their needs.
