A man, who lives in the south-western part of Germany has been trying to have the costs of his “wigs” covered by his health insurance provider. He believes that his insurance should pay for them because he has had hair-loss problems since childhood.
His claims have been denied. The insurance company states:
The hair’s protective function against the sun and the cold can easily be replaced by a hat. The health insurance does not have to pay for that.
The insurance company will provide hair coverage for women and children. You should note that health insurance in Germany, will cover spa trips, and breast implants.
What do you think about this? Do you think that if cosmetic surgery and trips to the spa can be covered by health insurance, what about hair replacement for me….let me know what you think about this.
*I don’t recall how I first discovered this information (last spring) since I just went looking for more information – but couldn’t find any. But I swear, it’s all true!
