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)

Who are those BOS writers anyway? And what made them decide to change the
English language? There is no such word as "followup" in MY dictionary, and
I see no reason to change what I know to be correct to what they decide is
now correct. I really feel sorry for those of you who MUST follow the BOS
laws or be penalized by your QC people.
