I thought "kol hameshaneh mimatbeia shetav'u chakhamim eino ela to'eh"
refers to making it a norm.

But the similarly phrased "... bibrakhos, lo yatza yedei chovaso",
about the chasimah or whether it's a berakhah arukhah, is even once.

In personal baqashos... It is one thing to make a tefillah for cholim in
a time of need. But one isn't supposed to be inserting the Yehi Ratzon
into EVERY Refa'einu for months or years on end.

Here, IMHO the justification would be similar to that of adding baqashos
to Sh"E during Aseres Yemei Teshuvah. "Zokhreinu lechaim", "Mi Khamokha",
etc... Not the chasimos, which aren't baqashos but special seasonal
matbeios.

Which the Sha"tz says too.

So, I would think the Chazan could / should say something in Refa'einu.
But my 2 week search for meqoros turned up empty.

Tir'u baTov!
