Kids Should Be Covered Wig Bill Initiative

Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan is working with state legislators to encourage insurance companies to cover the cost of wigs for children like any other prosthetic. There are 7 other states that have passed bills providing insurance coverage for children's wigs and Michigan is not one of them. This is more than hair; it's about a child's well-being emotionally, socially and psychologically. 

Our wig recipient Jaeleen was diagnosed with alopecia at the age of 8 and has been provided with many wigs throughout her journey with this auto-immune disorder. She has been a spokesperson for the Kids Should Be Covered Initiative over the years, traveling to Lansing with us and speaking through the media. 

In 2024, we have continued to advocate at the Lansing level to reintroduce wig bills. A special thanks to Robert Kennedy of Capitol Affairs who assists us and to Senator Kevin Hertel & Senator Paul Wojno who collaboratively introduced Senate Bill 774 (Medicaid/CSHCS-Children's Special Health Care Services) and Senate Bill 775 (Private Insurance) in an effort to secure coverage. The bills are pending at the Health Policy Committee at this time. Please follow our website for updates as they become available on this important issue affecting the children of our communities. https://www.wigs4kids.org/how-you-can-help/kids-should-be-covered-wig-bills.html
