DigniCap Scholarship


About DigniCap
DigniCap is an FDA-approved and patented medical device and scalp-cooling technique that helps minimize hair loss during chemotherapy. Scalp cooling should begin with the first infusion of any chemotherapy that causes hair loss. 

Treatments consist of a computerized cooling unit managed through a touch screen display and an attached cooling cap. Temperature regulated coolant will continuously circulate through specially designed channels in the cooling cap. Treatments can take up to 9 hours each and a patient typically needs 8-10 treatments. 

Associated Costs & Scholarships Available
The cost is typically about $325-350 per treatment, however it varies depending on location and the number of treatments. 

Insurance coverage for scalp cooling is not yet standard, however there are scholarships available for low-income patients who qualify.   One is through the Heartland Cancer Foundation and the other is through a nonprofit called HairToStay.

Heartland Cancer Foundation Grant
Eligible patients will receive 4 discount codes totaling $1,000 to be split across 4 total treatments. Each code is worth $250. The patient will be responsible for the balance for each of these 4 treatments.
