Trimming out an mob with several exam rooms. Boss sent out spec grade 20amp receptacles. Looking at this article and definition for patient care area and more specific general care area. Thinking these receptacles have to be listed hospital grade. Am I correct per code?

Exam room receptacles do not have to be HG, receptacles at Patient Bed Locations do, see the definition of Patient Bed.
