I had PRP done in my left knee about ten years ago. It was't very well known then and I had to go back home (southern California) to a specialized clinic get it done. You're right: insurance doesn't pay for it and it works.
Hurt like @#$^! though. Holy moly did it hurt. Worse than broken bones. I thought I was going to spend one night in a hotel then drive home. Nope. I was stuck in that hotel for almost a week. I was not prepared for that. I had to scoot around the room in the desk chair since I couldn't walk. I couldn't drive, either, so I had to have food delivered. I finally called a friend in Arizona to fly out and drive me back home.
Shout out to the Best Western in Valencia, they were very nice about all of it, extending my stay and moving me into an accessible room with a walk-in shower, finding me a rolling desk chair since the one in my room didn't have wheels, and helping me find local places that delivered food, there weren't many food delivery services back then.
Anyway, it worked. I would do it again, I'd just know to prepare in advance for the pain.
