Ent and audiology and medical decision making

I have a physician who sees a patient, sends them to the onsite audiologist and then the patient comes back to see the physician again (all on the same visit, has never left the office). The physician reads the printed audiology report from the machine showing hearing levels,etc. (not the audiologist findings report that the audiologist dictates)...

When the physician is doing her medical decision making she is giving herself 2 points for independent visualizaion of image, trace or specimen itself(not simply reivew of report) but my question is:

Since the physician is referring to the audiologist to have the hearing test done and then reads the audiology report wouldn't that be 1 point under review and/or order test in medicince section (90000 code series) and only be worth 1 point?

Can anyone tell me how this should be done and also can anyone find a description of what exactly this means: Independent visualizaion of image, trace or specimen itself(not simply reivew of report).

Thanks so much for all your help
