@kingsnake, I think this might be the recent article and video you are referring to:
- Mayo Clinic Minute: Prostate biopsy technique reduces infection risk https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-new-prostate-biopsy-technique-reduces-infection-risk/
You'll notice that I moved your questions to this existing discussion that @dandl48 started:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and hopefully get your questions about the procedure and insurance coverage by fellow members like @dandl48 @bodeygolfer @roger15 @mrbill @john57.
Kingsnake, will you be having the biopsy at Mayo?

Moderator: thanks for the warm welcome and funneling my question to the right forum.
I am in Colorado, and I am undecided as to whether travel to Mayo for an initial biopsy is warranted. I am trying to gauge from comments on this board as to whether Mayo could provide real advantages at this stage over a local Urology clinic. If they both do the traditional 12-core grid biopsy, then travel to Jacksonville or Phoenix might not be the best use of funds - which might go farther to be used for a second opinion on reading the biopsy results?? But I could be persuaded.
