Wiki Moderate sedation for ccc exam

I am sitting for my CCC exam and was wondering if someone could clarify the moderate sedation codes? I know that the 99152 is for the first 15 min intra service and the 99153 is for each additional 15 min of service. But according to an AAPC webinar, the 99153 is for the facility side only, but for testing purpose should the 99153 be used for physician time?

Thank you for your help and any tips would be appreciated!
