New Minnesota Law Mandates Health Insurers to Cover Wigs for Cancer Patients

Patty Bartholomew was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016, a journey that has transformed her life and perspective. As she fought through the challenges of her diagnosis, she experienced not only the physical toll of the disease but also the emotional impact of hair loss due to chemotherapy. This struggle led her to advocate for a change in the healthcare system.

In a significant move, Minnesota has enacted a new law requiring health insurers to cover wigs for patients suffering from medical conditions that result in hair loss, including cancer treatment. This legislation aims to alleviate some of the emotional distress that accompanies the physical changes brought on by illness. Bartholomew emphasizes the importance of maintaining hope and self-esteem during such trying times.

With this new law, many cancer survivors like Bartholomew will have access to resources that can help them feel more like themselves as they navigate their recovery journey. The change marks a crucial step towards enhancing the quality of life for patients facing similar battles.
