Is discussion of birth control considered part of a postpartum visit?

My docs do a pretty lengthy consultaion on birth control during postpartum visits and I believe they can bill at least a level 2 if not a level 3 visit for this, any opinions?

I tried to get them to schedule the birth control visit seperately but most patients do not want to do ssperate visits.
 
According to ACOG it is a component of the postpartum care. "methods of birth control should be reviewed or initiated. This includes preconception counseling for patients who may wish to have future pregnancies."
