Michigan would cover hair replacements for eligible patients under 19

Michigan's medical assistance program would cover wigs and other substitutes for hair on the head. Coverage would apply to people under 19 who qualify for medical assistance. Hair replacements could use human or synthetic hair. Hair loss must result from a medical condition or treatment for one. Dollar limits, deductibles, and coinsurance—the patient's share of costs—would have to be no less favorable than coverage for any other artificial body replacement. The requirement would take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
