They do the same thing in MD. All they do is get a note from a doctor telling them they need too and they are covered.

I almost got offended when I went to a orthopedic surgion due to my tore rotator cuff and he smiled real big, thinking he was doing me this big favor asking me if I wanted a crossbow note. I snapped back, "why would I want that????". He said most hunters coming in wants the note.
