I don’t understand why PSA levels aren’t included as part of the standard blood work done with check ups.

Today, my local news station said they used to. My guess is, carriers decided to keep the money instead.

Which carriers are you referring to? Commercial health plans are subject to a minimum medical loss ratio so they don't get to keep any more money by denying coverage for PSA tests. The general issue is that with only a few exceptions, most cancer screening tests haven't been proven to improve patient outcomes.
