Cancer Wigs for Fox Chase

Fox Chase is a more affluent neighborhood in northeastern Philadelphia. Lush parks like Pennypack Park and Burholme Park and beautiful scenery have been drawing people to the area for centuries. Although a popular area for summer homes starting in the early 1800s, the railroad made suburban living in Fox Chase even more desirable year-round. Some of the historic mansions and farms of the area are still standing and serve as homage to the neighborhood’s early days.
While still mainly residential, the community’s biggest industry and employer is renowned Fox Chase Cancer Center. With this research and treatment Cancer Center right in the heart of the community, both Fox Chase residents and visitors seeking treatment may be in need of a cancer wig. An established, experienced, compassionate wig salon, Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique has been servicing the patients of Fox Chase and assisting with their cancer wigs for over 20 years.

Road to Recovery

While Nobel Prize-winning researchers work to find breakthroughs and the best treatments for cancer patients at Fox Chase Cancer Center, details like appearance and hair loss can add stress to patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments or on the road to recovery. A cancer wig can restore self-esteem and make patients feel more like themselves during a difficult time. This seemingly small detail can actually aid in a patient’s attitude and recovery. In fact, many insurance companies agree and cover at least part of a cancer wig, up to 50% or $400 in some cases.
In the medial and insurance world, wigs that are necessary due to medical illness or treatment are called cranial prosthesis. To start the ball rolling for a cancer wig insurance claim, you doctor will need to write a prescription for a cranial prosthesis, including details of your specific diagnosis. It’s important to work with a salon that knows these terms and even the insurance codes. We’ve recognized that the common code for a cranial prosthesis is S8095, while the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is A9282. Rosalind Stella’s is professional and experienced and will help guide you through each part of the process.

Look to the Future

After enduring chemotherapy and other cancer treatments, patients may want to get their lives back to the way they were as quickly as possible. A cancer wig can help. To make your transition as seamless as possible and to ensure that your cancer wig matches your previous hair style and color, try to save a section of hair from the top of your head before cutting or losing it. Then bring the sample into the salon with you, along with a picture of you and your hair style before treatments. This will help stylists select a wig for you that is most natural. Of course, you may also see this as a great chance to experiment and have fun with new styles and colors. The beauty of hairpieces is that you can change your style daily without commitment.
