Know that if you have lost your hair as a result of chemotherapy, the cost of your toupee may be tax-deductible. Also, your health insurance company might pay some of the cost. Read your policy or call your insurance representative to find out. If you buy a toupee due to hair loss from illness, ask your doctor to write a prescription for you that uses the words "hair prosthesis." You must have this for tax or insurance purposes.
