:rick: you can get them, but you have to have a prescription. The only way for you to be covered by insurance is that you are very short, way below average. I checked into it in high school because of basketball. Put it to you this way, it's 3 shots a month for 1 year. Each shot is $1,000. Insurance will not cover you unless you are super short. My uncle is a DR, Internal Medicine, and even he could not get them to cover it. I would be 6ft 5in if i would've taken those. :happysad:
