What PSA Score sent you to a Urologist?

I had my first PSA test done at age 67 . My PSA was 10.9 and 6 weeks later it was 11.0 , my doctor told me to make a urologist appointment which I did and it ended up being a PA ( Physician assistant ) she said for me to schedule a biopsy - I said I would like the hi resolution MRI first before getting a blind biopsy and she said that would not be appropriate ( I think Kaiser has a rule against MRI's for elevated PSA readings ) maybe it's the cost ......
I have been trying to schedule a second opinion with a urologist it's been a couple months but they have cancelled my appointment 2x now so I'm still in " limbo " . My next scheduled appointment is in July .

Greetings! I would think it would be inappropriate not to have a 3T MRI done first and then a MRI guided/directed biospy performed.
