I was told that insurance does not cover it, but have not checked with them directly. I was told they are about $2,500, which seems to be an extremely high expense if it may or may not help. I did search under hair loss and saw that someone mentioned going to the inspire.com website for cryotherapy and they mentioned that you can purchase or rent them. Not sure.

@jdh65 I’m just going to jump in here for a minute. Have you checked with the infusion center, that will do the chemo, if they have the cryotherapy caps? The infusion center where i was last year seemed to have several. But it made me cold just watching the women-they were totally covered in blankets, hats, mittens!
Give the center a call and find out.
