Is a wig reimbursed for alopecia?
In cases of medical hair loss — such as alopecia areata, totalis, or severe androgenetic alopecia — you are often entitled in the Netherlands to a (partial) reimbursement for a wig through the basic insurance.
In 2025, that basic reimbursement amounts to €452 (net amount).
💡 However, this applies only when you purchase your wig from a contracted care supplier who works directly with the health insurer.
Adore My Wig is not a contracted supplier, and that is a deliberate choice.
We want you to have complete freedom to choose what truly suits you — without restrictions in style, color, or quality.
When are you entitled to reimbursement?
You qualify for reimbursement if:
- Medically diagnosed hair loss, such as alopecia
- A valid referral from your doctor or dermatologist
- Purchase from a supplier recognized by the insurer
Although you do not receive direct reimbursement at Adore My Wig, we can help you with the proper documentation if you want to submit a claim to your insurer yourself.
Contracted care vs. free choice
Many health insurers work with fixed, contracted wig specialists. The invoice is directly claimed there, and you usually have less administrative work — but also less freedom of choice.
At Adore My Wig, you choose free choice of care:
✨ You decide the style, quality, and fit yourself
✨ You receive personal guidance from experienced wig specialists
✨ You invest in a wig that looks natural, fits comfortably, and suits your lifestyle
You pay for the wig yourself but retain full control over your appearance and experience — without compromises.
In summary
The basic insurance does provide reimbursement for alopecia, but only through contracted suppliers.
Adore My Wig operates independently, so you are not limited by standard reimbursement models — but can choose quality, customization, and confidence.
What do supplementary insurances reimburse?
In addition to the basic insurance, some health insurers offer an additional reimbursement for wigs in cases of medical hair loss, such as alopecia.
This additional coverage can range from €700 up to €1,500 per year, depending on your policy.
Note: this reimbursement applies only if the insurer recognizes your supplier or if your policy allows free choice of care.
Because Adore My Wig has no contract with health insurers, your purchase with us is not reimbursed directly — but some customers choose to submit their invoice themselves to their insurer to see if part is reimbursed.

📋 Step-by-step plan
-
Visit your general practitioner or dermatologist
Request a referral stating that your hair loss has been medically diagnosed (for example alopecia areata or totalis). -
Inquire with your health insurer
Ask what your insurance covers under “aids” or “wigs” and whether you have free choice of care.
This way you immediately know if you can claim (part of) the amount from a non-contracted supplier like Adore My Wig. -
Schedule an intake at Adore My Wig
During the intake, we discuss your wishes, style, and budget — and together we look at which wigs suit you best. We can also help you with a clear quote and the correct description for your own application. -
Submit your application to the health insurer
Add the referral from your doctor, the quote, and possibly the purchase invoice.
Sometimes you receive a (partial) reimbursement, depending on your policy.

Frequently asked questions about reimbursement for alopecia
🧾 Do I have to pay first myself?
Yes. At Adore My Wig you pay for your wig in advance because we are not affiliated with health insurers.
Some customers then submit their invoice themselves to their insurer — and sometimes receive a (partial) reimbursement, depending on their policy.
We are happy to help you with a correct quote and description if you want to try.
🧑⚕️ Can I get reimbursement without a referral?
No, a referral from a doctor or dermatologist is always required if you want to apply for reimbursement.
Even if you pay for the wig entirely yourself, we recommend keeping medical documentation — this can be useful for future applications or tax deductions.
📅 How often can I get a wig reimbursed?
Most insurers reimburse one wig per 12 months or per calendar year.
Check this carefully in your policy, especially if you expect to change wigs more often or want to alternate multiple wigs.
💬 What if I don’t get reimbursement?
Then you choose completely freely — and that is exactly what Adore My Wig stands for.
You decide the quality, style, and fit that truly suit you.
Many of our customers say they prefer to invest in a wig that looks natural, feels comfortable, and restores their confidence, rather than choosing a standard reimbursed model.
In summary
A wig for alopecia can sometimes be partially reimbursed, but only from contracted suppliers.
Adore My Wig consciously operates independently, so you can choose freely — with all the attention, expertise, and warmth you deserve.
We are happy to help you gain insight into your options and guide you step by step through the process.
What should you pay attention to when applying for reimbursement?
Requesting reimbursement for a wig may seem simple, but there are a number of important points to keep a close eye on.
Even if you buy your wig at Adore My Wig (and thus outside the reimbursement system), it’s good to know how it works — so you can make choices with confidence.
1️⃣ Check your policy conditions carefully
Each health insurance policy has its own rules for hairpiece reimbursements.
Note:
- The maximum reimbursement per year
- Whether your policy allows free choice of care
- Whether the reimbursement only applies to contracted suppliers
- Which type of hairpiece is reimbursed (synthetic, ready-made or custom-made)
💡 Tip: download your policy via your insurer’s online portal and search for terms like aids, hairpiece or wig reimbursement.
2️⃣ Take the deductible into account
If your reimbursement comes from the basic insurance, it is offset against your deductible.
This means you often pay this amount (partly) yourself. With supplementary insurance, this does not apply — that reimbursement is on top of it.
👉 At Adore My Wig you will always be honestly informed about this, so you know exactly what to expect financially.
3️⃣ Always ask for a clear quote
A good quote makes submitting an application easier and prevents misunderstandings.
It should include:
- The name of the hairpiece
- The type (e.g. medical hairpiece – custom-made)
- The price including VAT
- A brief description of the medical necessity
We gladly ensure your quote is complete and correct, so you can use it immediately when applying for reimbursement.
Transparency and freedom of choice
At Adore My Wig we believe you make better choices when you are well informed.
That’s why we explain the entire process clearly — even if that means your hairpiece falls outside the regular reimbursement. This way you can consciously choose what truly suits you: quality, comfort, and a look that boosts your confidence.
Reimbursement and freedom? You can have both
Many people think they only get reimbursement from contracted suppliers. Fortunately, that is a misconception.
Even with free choice of care you are entitled to reimbursement – especially if you clearly explain why you choose quality, customization, and personal guidance.
At Adore My Wig you are assured of:
- A discreet and warm approach
- Expertise in medical hairpieces
- Support with the complete reimbursement process

Reimbursement and freedom?
Sometimes it seems like you have to choose: either convenience through a contracted supplier, or freedom through an independent specialist.
But in reality, it’s about what matters to you.
With a contracted supplier, the administration is often handled immediately — but sometimes at the expense of choice, style, and personal attention.
At Adore My Wig, you choose freedom: the freedom to choose what feels right, looks beautiful, and truly suits you.
