Tips & Warnings
In addition to the financing plans that are available through your hair transplant specialist, you can apply for healthcare financing on your own. You should look at not only the interest rate that you will be charged, but also the initial period during which interest does not accumulate.
While most financing options include a grace period, you will be charged interest if you do not pay off your balance before the end of the promotional period.
In most cases, you cannot use an employee reimbursement account for cosmetic reasons. You also cannot claim fixing bad hair transplants as a deductible medical expense.
