Check to see if your insurance will provide coverage for a "cranial prosthetic" and who is in network. Your oncologist can write you an Rx to be submitted to insurance. I got mine through a shop affiliated with the cancer center. As a patient of the center, I got my hair cut short, later buzzed, had the wig fitted twice (once with the short hair, and then again when the hair was buzzed off), they also trimmed to wig to my tastes, gave me three cuts as my hair was growing back in- all for free. They would also wash the wig for free, so I would drop it off on my way home from work the day before chemo, they would wash and put on a stand to dry, and then I could pick it up all fresh on my way home from chemo. Mine was a synthetic wig- what I called Wash and Wear hair. It just needed to be washed, put on the air-dry stand, and finger style. Way easier than my own- hair- lol!

You can ask your nurse navigator as well, the shop I went to had wigs that were donated by the manufacturers they ordered from for those without insurance, etc, and once I was one year out of chemo, I donated mine back as well for gifting. When I ordered mine I did it at the same time that I got my short cut- which made it really easy to get the closest match to my hair color. I wasn't sure how I would do with getting the wig- so I had asked for the manufacturers they carry, went online and narrowed it down to four styles. The first two were a definite no, either of the second two would have worked- so I let the hubs choose. My wig, stand, a brush, shampoo, etc. all came to under $200. And I was very satisfied with it.
