follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
Subject: follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
I prefer to hyphen follow-up when used as a noun or adjective.
example: She will return in 3 weeks for follow-up (or followup). She will return in 3 weeks for a follow-up visit (used as adjective here).
She will follow up in 3 months (used as verb)

Subject: follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
For Example:
The patient will follow up in my office.

My understanding has always been that follow-up and followup were the same. It was more of a personal preference whether you used the hyphen or used one word; however follow up is always used when used as a verb.

If you can use the word "the" directly in front of the words "follow up", then it needs to be one word. That is the "official" note from my QA. Have a great day.

Ok,, been at this for years,, I think i have it finally and then a QA will correct followup, follow up, or follow-up. I have read and reread the explanation in all the books.. I am looking for someone to "splain to me in english Lucy". I know will follow up is correct,, he has a follow-up appointment, but I seem to get messed up with followup versus follow up. I know the verb and none definition but it does not soak in... HELP

Well-appearing after the verb????
Subject: Well-appearing after the verb????
I'm so confused about this. The patient is well-appearing. Should there be a dash there even though it's after the verb? I think there should be because you can't be appearing so it seems like you'd have to make a compound word there. I think the BOS backs me up on this but that's a little confusing too. I know it shouldn't be there if the patient is well known, well hydrated, etc...Anybody know for sure?

I always put the dash there as in well-appearing patient.

What's the verb of dialysis?
What is the correct way to type the verb of dialysis? I have a Dr saying "she __ on Monday, Wednesday and Friday." He is talking about dialysis, so would it be "She dialysis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday"? That doesn't make sense to me, but that is what he's saying!

person, even one person from a Cannabis site! The MRI info was probably keyed in by a lay person also. There no reference for "brachioplexy" in any Stedman's reference, any Dorland's reference, Taber's or even in the rxlist.
Did you notice the other misspellings in the Google listings?
Brachioplexy makes no sense. It's brachial plexus, brachial plexopathy.
Best not to be facetious with an MT with over 30 years' experience, with a 99-100% QA rating at all times.
You still didn't define "brachioplexy" which is what I asked.
No wonder we're losing our work to a foreign country.
