Continuous Labor Epidural

We are taking over the billing and staffing for CRNA's in labor and delivery.  Does the referring physician have to be present the entire time of the continous labor epidural administered by the CRNA?  Is there a source I can reference for documentation stating  the referring physician does or does not need to be present? 

Thanks!
