Must they be present for the entire treatment, or can they apply the photosensitive drug and initiate the light treatment?

96573: PDT by external application of light to destroy premalignant lesions of the skin and adjacent mucosa with application and illumination/activation of photosensitive drug(s) provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional, per day.
