Hair Prosthesis

There is a condition called alopecia areata. It causes loss of hair, and usually strikes women. Often women in their late teens, early 20's.

There are two main forms of the disease. alopecia totalis and universalis alopecia areata.

With alopecia totalis, the patient loses all the hair on the head (sometimes eyelashes and eyebrows as well). Alopecia universalis with the patient loses all the hair on their bodies.

This is the definition of a stent in the dictionary:
"An artificial device to replace or supplement a missing or impaired part of the body"

Insurance companies are required to cover breast implants for patients with breast cancer (even the side that does not have cancer), because the female breast is regarded as such a sex party feminine, and helps patients of breast cancer recover emotionally and psychologically.

So my question is do you think of wigs for women with alopecia areata should be considered as a prosthesis in the insurance companies?

Probably not - if you mean compared to other things that are or are not covered. For example, suppose you're in a car accident and your face is severely disfigured. Most insurance plans will not cover reconstruction unless the reconstruction is necessary to address the "function" (the eyes, ears / nose / mouth position, etc..) Incidentally, how does a wig?

And finally, if you ask me whether a woman is always sexy bald - the answer is yes.

Alopecia is common among both sexes. On the other hand, male pattern baldness is more common and affects a significant proportion of males.

implant prosthetic hair is only if the profession requires. otherwise, it should not be covered. Although cancer survivors, during chemotherapy, many insurance plans cover wigs.

It is not, in my opinion, a prosthesis.

In fact, there are many people who will judge men quite differently (by which I mean worse) if they are bald. This is not about social issues debilitating to men as women, but it is still a negative thing for many people, according to the man. Some men may withdraw, others not.

I would not go bald like a man, then why can not I get a wig too, depending on your idea if it help me psychologically? Why do we focus so much on women in cases like this?

I do not know where you get your stats that I saw nothing behind them when I looked, in fact, most sites talk about how men usually got the worst form of the disease, alopecia universalis, which causes total baldness (I was actually looking for other information but noticed that if I did that).

Anyway, your question, I'm not really sure it's something that insurance companies should pay. Unless it can be proven hair has a direct correlation to a person's health or livelihood, the hair is really not a necessary part of life. I would not have a problem with the insurance companies will pay the price that bald can be a huge psychological effect on someone, especially women, but this is not something that I think must necessarily be the object as a prosthesis or breast implants also had breast cancer cancer.

Apparently you are looking for answers that say "yes" and continue. You want a double standard, and that's all.
