Prolonged Services in the ED

We had a patient that was seen at a small nearby hospital for suicide ideation and was attempting to transfer patient to a larger facility (out of the area) for psychiatric services. The large facility would not accept patient until local psychiatric evaluation had been done. Patient was then transferred to our facility for psychiatric evaluation. Patent was put on a wait-list to be transferred to larger facility. Meanwhile, our facility had no beds available for psychiatric services, so the patient stayed in our ED until a bed opened up. The patient was seen by multiple ED physicians over the course of his stay, as well as psychiatric evals. Is there any other codes we can use besides the initial 99285 for the facility for the following day?
