Does anyone have any guidelines on how these should be billed? When an OB patient is sent from the office or goes on their own to the hospital for FHT check. While there they have an NST (59025, 26) done. Our co-worker has been billing these OB triage visits (99213-99214) as office visits with POS 22.

What service is it you're asking about how to bill? Are you asking about physician or hospital billing? There nothing to bill just for a patient going or being sent to a hospital. Billing is only for specific provider services that have been rendered and documented.
