Is it the patient is here for a followup? or follow-up? The patient has a followup appointment or follow-up appointment?
When it's used as a verb, spell it as follow up (no hyphen). When it's used as a noun or adjective, there is a hyphen (follow-up). Go to dictionary.com. In the Dictionary tab, type in the words 'follow up' without the hyphen. This will help you a lot.
My educated guess is that it is used without a hyphen when used as a verb, and with a hyphen when used as an adjective. Dr. Smith is on call. He is the on-call physician. Similar to follow up: Dr. Smith will follow up with the patient when she has her follow-up visit.

Yes. Follow-up is a hyphenated word. Sometimes. Here's how to tell when it is and when it is not hyphenated:If you can use the word the directly in front of the words follow up, they need a hyphen. If not, no hyphen is needed.Why? Well, since we never use "the" before verbs, if you cannot insert "the" before "follow up", you know the phrase is a verb, which means you do not use a hyphen. When "follow up" is a noun or an adjective, it does need a hyphen.More information on this topic can be found at this website, which is neither endorsed by or affliated with WikiAnswers.
