Is the machine check out included in the anesthesia start time or does anesthesia start after the check out?
 
Is the patient in the room when the equipment check is done? CPT definition is followed by most payers:

Anesthesia time begins when the anesthesiologist begins to prepare the patient for the induction of anesthesia in the operating room (or in an equivalent area) and ends when the anesthesiologist is no longer in personal attendance, that is, when the patient may be safely placed under postoperative supervision.
