OBSTETRIC BIOPHYSICAL EXAM REMINDER:
Remember, we should only use the Obstetric Biophysical (SOBB) exam type when the patients order specifically indicates a "BPP" or "Bio-physical". If not, we should use code SOBO1.
If the order does NOT request "BPP" or "Bio-physical", we should schedule the Obstetric Over 13 Weeks (SOBO1) exam type.
