I know one person whose doctor is having him get a PET scan every three months with a .02 PSA. Normally, however, they will allow one every six months.

It seems that if the doctor requires it Medicare insurance will pay for it.

I’ve been told by my insurance company that the way it works with Medicare Advantage is that they evaluate the care needed for the people, Paying a larger lump sum for those that Have expensive medical requirements than those who do not. They don’t pay for each individual treatment in that case. Some Insurance companies are tighter about their spending so they might not allow a pet scan where another insurance company would.
