TRICARE would cover wigs for more types of hair loss, removing a one-time limit.
TRICARE would cover wigs for more types of hair loss, removing a one-time limit. TRICARE beneficiaries with hair loss from various health conditions or treatments would no longer be limited to only one wig or specific cancer-related hair loss.
Today, TRICARE may cover wigs only for hair loss caused by treatment for a serious illness like cancer, and only allows for one wig per person. If this bill becomes law, TRICARE would be required to cover wigs for hair loss from nearly any health condition or its treatment (except for a common type of male pattern baldness), and people could receive more than one wig if needed.
