To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide coverage for wigs as durable medical equipment under the Medicare program, and for other purposes.

Medicare would start covering wigs — technically called "cranial prostheses" — as durable medical equipment for people who lose their hair due to cancer, chemotherapy, or autoimmune diseases. Right now, Medicare doesn't pay for wigs at all, even though hair loss from treatment can be emotionally devastating and expensive to address out of pocket. To qualify, a patient's dermatologist, oncologist, or attending physician would need to certify in writing that the wig is medically necessary as part of their treatment or rehabilitation.
