We occasionally get patients who need hydration services in our clinic. in some cases the patient needs to be transported to a hospital with the IV line open. We usually dont bill for the hydration even if they were in our office for an hour (for hydration) because we do not have an end time. Would this be correct?

If have a time of when the patient was handed off to EMS then that would be your end time.
