No, they don’t pay for vanity.
A better question are his growth plates sealed. If they are it’s a moot point.

No, they won’t pay for it, and I can’t imagine where you’d get HGH for this, anyway. Height is in your DNA. HGH is used to treat HGH deficiency; using it for this kind of thing can cause the following:
Acromegaly, a condition where the facial bones and connective tissues grow, leading to a protruding jaw and brow; Enlarged hands and feet; Hair growth all over your body; Irreversible heart enlargement, leading to a substantially shortened life expectancy; Liver damage; Thyroid damage.
