I am not sure I have selected the correct category because I think this falls into several possible options. I have extensively researched this but want to put it out there to see if I'm just missing the important detail others may know.

All signs point to this falling into the same category as reviewing the patient records prior to induction, which is included in the base unit and not billable based on specific activity or as additional time. However, anyone with black and white printed proof to the contrary would be a welcome reply!
