Financial Support

PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR YOUR hair loss

Many private health funds provide rebates for medical wigs.
Individuals diagnosed with Alopecia, Trichotillomania, or those undergoing Chemotherapy may be eligible for financial assistance through their private health insurance.

Rebate amounts vary significantly between providers and are dependent on the level of cover held. For the most accurate information, clients are advised to contact their health fund directly regarding eligibility and rebate amounts.

At Beverly May Hair, we are committed to supporting clients throughout this process.
We issue comprehensive tax invoices that clearly identify the wig as a medical device for claim purposes.
We aim to provide a professional and seamless experience for all clients.
