Signatera Test. Is it truly helpful and worthwhile?

I asked my oncologist for the Signatera or a similar liquid biopsy to monitor any possible changes but she refuses saying insurance will not cover it. I am diagnosed with early stage invasive ductal carcinoma stage I-II (borderline). But the biology of my tumor indicates grade 3 (aggressive), and a high ki-67.

Does anyone know whether Medicare pays for Signatera or other liquid biopsies in "early stage" breast cancer?

@prarysky My test was paid for. I believe - and you must check this out - if you are "stage 3" Medicare will pay for it.
But, again, check this out for accuracy.
