Getting a serial liquid biopsy post-ADT

Any experience/tips getting serial liquid biopsies approved by US MO's?

My MO has not brought it up but I am off ADT after 21 months due to undetectable PSA since the get-go. So now I'm on the check-PSA-every-3-month program. I wonder why serial liquid biopsies aren't SOC at this phase too? There are several that are FDA-approved and AFAIK part of the NCCN playbook.

I've asked my MO about this.
