I don't think the treatment process is complex at all. For a 71 year old man with advanced metastasized cancer in bones and lymph nodes with a PSA of 287 what on earth could a Biopsy add? My medicare will only cover the cheapest off the shelf treatment so I really don't need the added intrusive and not without complications of a biopsy.

All Medicare coverage is the same.
You must have Medicare Part A (hospital coverage), which is at no premium for most people.
Together with Part B (Drs and Outpatient) for which most people pay a premium.
Medicare Advantage plans must cover everything that Traditional Medicare covers.
So your Medicare and my Medicare are the same and provide the same coverage.
Maybe you should try to consult with a different Urologist, Oncologist or other physician who possibly might agree to prescribe ADT based upon your PSA and scans and forego a biopsy.
Good luck.
