S.3872

Provides Medicare coverage for wigs as durable medical equipment for those with medical necessity.

The bill amends the Social Security Act to include wigs as durable medical equipment under Medicare. Coverage is limited to cases where a dermatologist, oncologist, or attending physician certifies the medical necessity of the wig as part of rehabilitative treatment or for hair loss caused by conditions such as autoimmune diseases or cancer. The bill also makes conforming amendments to ensure proper classification and coverage of these cranial prostheses.
