Is it possible to get insurance to cover a MTF hair transplant?

Question

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello, it is highly unlikely that any insurance company will pay for a hair transplant as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. You an call your insurance company and ask.

Why not ask the insurance company that you would be asking to pay for your transplant and see what they say?
Insurance companies are for-profit businesses and deny many life saving procedures solely to protect their profits. They will of course deny anything that remotely smells of beauty surgery, otherwise they would also be paying for the half million breast augmentations a year done in this country.
Even after post-traumatic scalp injuries it has been a real fight to get insurance companies to cover reconstructive surgery for my patients.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Insurance is hard to get unless the hair transplant is part of a trauma reconstruction which may then qualify
