ANIOR Medical FAQ

The questions everyone asks — answered honestly.

Including the ones that are hard to ask out loud.

Getting started

What is a cranial prosthesis?

A cranial prosthesis is the medical term for a wig designed for hair loss from a medical condition or treatment — the term physicians use on prescriptions and insurers use in claims. "Medical wig" means the same thing. Full explanation →

Do I qualify for a medical wig if I don't have cancer?

Yes. Alopecia, thyroid disease, lupus, trichotillomania, medication side effects, and other medical causes of hair loss are all legitimate reasons — medically, emotionally, and for many insurance plans. Find your condition →

When should I get a wig if I'm starting chemo?

Many women choose a piece before treatment begins — it allows matching your current hair and removes one task from a heavy season. But there is no wrong time, and we can move quickly whenever you're ready.

Products & fit

Will it look like a wig?

Our pieces are 100% human hair with HD lace hairlines designed to read as skin. In a private consultation you'll see and touch them before deciding anything — we'd rather show you than promise you.

Can you really match my texture?

Yes — texture matching is one of the eight commitments of The ANIOR Medical Standard™, including 4A–4C coils and curls. ANIOR is a luxury hair house first; texture is our craft, not a checkbox.

What if it doesn't fit or something is wrong?

We operate remake-first: if a piece has a defect, we remake it to standard rather than discounting you into accepting it. Fit adjustments after delivery are part of the service, not a favor.

Insurance & payment

Is a cranial prosthesis covered by insurance?

Many plans consider it with a physician's prescription; some don't; your insurer decides. Every ANIOR prosthesis includes a complete documentation packet (itemized invoice, A9282 code reference, physician letter template, filing checklist). How reimbursement works →

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Often yes, typically with a prescription or Letter of Medical Necessity — confirm with your plan administrator first, as requirements vary.

Consultations & privacy

Does the consultation cost anything?

No — consultations are complimentary, private, and carry no obligation whatsoever. What to expect →

Will you keep my information private?

Yes. Consultations are one-on-one, your details are never shared or sold, packaging is discreet, and we never use health information for marketing.

Care & aftercare

How long will my piece last?

With proper care, quality human-hair prostheses typically serve well for an extended period of daily wear — your specialist will give you honest, specific expectations for your piece and lifestyle at consultation, plus a written care plan at purchase.

What happens after delivery?

We check in at 48 hours, 2 weeks, and 3 months; you'll have care guides, styling support, and a direct line to your specialist. Lifetime Care is the final step of The ANIOR Method™ — not a marketing phrase.
