Barb, I thought that the AAMT BOS (the first blue book) addressed this
and said that followup or follow-up is acceptable as a noun or
adjective, and the same with workup and checkup. It seems that hyphens
are trying to be done away with too, with acceptable words such as
flulike and lifelong and smashing words together (as is so common in
German) like Christmastime.

This is from the 2nd edition BOS:

noun, adjective verb
checkup check up
followup follow up
workup work up
followthrough follow through
The patient was lost to followup. (noun)
Followup exam will be in 3 weeks. (adjective)
I will follow up the patient in 3 weeks. (verb)


followup, follow up
Use followup for the noun and adjective forms (the hyphenated form, follow-
up is
an acceptable alternative).
The patient did not return for followup. (noun)
In followup visits, she appeared to improve. (adjective)
For the verb, the two-word form follow up is the only correct choice.
We will follow up with regular return visits. (verb)
.
