1. The PRSI Hair Replacement Benefit. Download Form Here...
Firstly as agents we check the system to see if you have enough PRSI contributions to qualify. Also keep in mind if you do not qualify under your own PPS number you can apply under dependents spouse scheme. We then give you a form which your Doctors fills in and signs. The current hair conditions that qualify are Alopecia, Hair Loss (Frontal Fibrosis) or for clients currently undergoing Chemotherapy. Once we have received your Doctors cert, you can book an appointment to use your benefit towards your hair piece or wig which is up to €500 per year. Email accounts@hairclub.ie 

2. PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE - ALLOWANCES FOR WIGS
If you have a hair condition, depending on your policy you can claim for the cost of your wig through your private health insurance.
Please phone your private health insurer for details to see are you covered.

  • Laya - full cost covered for one wig
  • VHI - no excess on wigs from next policy renewal date.
  • Irish Life Health - 50% cover, no excess
