Costs of a Hair Transplant

Cost Items

Hair Transplantation: Cost per graft

In contrast to other countries, in Germany the protection of the patient’s physical integrity is a priority. For this reason, the medical procedure of hair transplantation is also billed according to the German Fee Ordinance for Physicians (GOÄ) in order to ensure quality assurance. According to GOÄ (current version), the rate of 4.66 euros per graft must be calculated for hair transplants in Germany. The cost of a hair transplant will also depend on how many follicles need to be transplanted to achieve the desired and satisfactory result.

Hair Transplantation: Does health insurance cover the costs?

In general, health insurance companies do not pay the costs of hair transplantation because the hair loss does not affect the patient’s health. In the case of injuries, skin diseases and serious psychological consequences, health insurance companies occasionally make an exception. In the case of possible interventions due to psychological problems, health insurance companies may, under certain circumstances, prepare their own psychological expert opinion. This should clarify whether the patient has a treatable mental illness. These regulations affect both statutory and private health insurance companies.
