No hyphen, the word is spelled Hemoccult positive. It is the name of a

specific test and should be capitalized.

Have a good one!

First of all, Hemoccult is capped. Second, if it's just Hemoccult positive,

it's not hyphenated, but if it's Hemoccult-positive stool, it's hyphenated.

Does that help?

Since I haven't transcribed in a while I was going over some of my notes and

I have this marked 2 different ways so I was wondering if somebody could help

me so I can correct my cheat sheets. Is hemoccult positive hyphenated? I'm

not sure if I forgot the hyphen or if I had found 2 different sources siting

2 different ways to type it. I don't remember hyphenating it but then the

company I typed for was very lax. Thanks ---Tammy

Don't forget that Hemoccult is a brand name and should always be

capitalized. My account does not hyphenate the phrase. I do hyphenate

" heme-positive stool " , or " heme-negative stool " .

Hope that helps.

What about if a doctor says " Heme positive stools " ? Is that right??? No

hyphen, cap ? I just had that come up and was getting ready to print out

his letters, but I'd like to know for sure before I do.

, It is heme-positive stools. Hemoccult is capped, but heme is not. heme

positive by itself is not hypenated but heme-positive stools is hyphenated.

No cap unless it's the beginning of a sentence, and yes, with stools behind it

it gets a hyphen: heme-positive stools.

YEAH! I've been doing it right then. I was worried there for a minute.

Good thing - I was going to have re-proof everything before I printed and

now I don't have to.

What if they say " Stools are heme positive. " Is that right? No hyphen

Yes, that's right. Stools are heme positive has heme positive by itself and

therefore no hyphen. Margaret
