Is there guidance on documenting that the patient was admitted to observation? Also we have an issue where psych patients are held in the ED for several days waitng fpr a bed at the local Behavioral Health facility. We are not sure how to bill. The providers were billing daily consult codes, we know that's WRONG!!! and now they are using subsequent Ob's codes without there being an initial admit to Ob's. I'm sure this is wrong too. what should we bill? they have not been admitted to Ob's nor the hospital. ![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
