How can I get a Caring Hat ?

Steps for creating your Caring Hat

Magasin de Fabienne Delvigne

Step 1: Making an appointment

  • Make an appointment by calling +32 2 735 90 41 or sending an email to contact@caringhat.org
  • You will be warmly welcomed into the privacy of a private home, a gentle and attentive environment, for a moment of well-being far from the routine of the hospital.
  • Before your appointment, check with your mutual insurance company, health insurance provider, or employer to find out what type of reimbursement you are entitled to.

Step 2: Visit our workshop

You will have the opportunity to discover the magical world of creation, chat with the Caring Hat team, try on several hats, and receive advice on which one suits you best.

Distance should not be an obstacle. It is possible to choose a hat via video call, although visiting the workshops is preferable.

You pay and leave with the hat of your dreams, or receive it as soon as possible.

Step 3: Refund

You will then receive a reimbursement of €120 from your health insurance provider (if you are eligible) based on the Caring Hat receipt and a medical certificate, or other reimbursements or assistance to which you may be entitled.

In case of financial hardship, the non-profit organization Caring Hat can contribute to the cost of the hat.

Some tips to help you find the hat of your dreams

Since July 1, 2024, the mutual insurance company has reimbursed €120 for the purchase of a hat. The non-profit organization Caring Hat Fund was a pioneer in getting all the necessary regulatory texts amended to allow for this reimbursement.

The mutual insurance company reimburses a maximum of three hats, which cannot be combined with the reimbursement for a wig.
To obtain this reimbursement, simply submit a certificate from your doctor and the receipt from Caring Hat to the mutual insurance company.

Some mutual insurance companies offer additional reimbursement through their supplementary insurance plans. Certain mutual insurance companies with critical illness insurance and some private insurance companies reimburse the entire amount that remains at your expense.

Finally, in cases of financial hardship, the non-profit organization Caring Hat Fund may cover part or all of the cost of the hat.
