grade 4/6 to 5/6. I do the same with percents. If they dictate 5 to 6%. I transcribe as 5% to 6%.

I do it this way: - about 50 times a day

4 to 5/6

However, I also do percentages like the previous poster: 5% to 10%

Per AAMT BOS - Sheri

Per Second Edition of AAMS BOS it says this.

Express partial units at indicated.
Dictated grade 4 and a half over 6 murmur is transcribed grade 4.5 over 6 murmur or grade 4.5/6 murmur. Then it says Dictated grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur is to be transcribed grade 4 to 5 over 6 murmur or grade 4/6 to 5/6. NOT TO BE TRANSCRIBED grade 4-5/6 murmur.

If you go by AAMT BOS then you would never type it as grade 4-5/6.

Hope that helps.

have varicosities, but there is no progression....I did talk to her about swimming and cycling as other activities to maintain quad strength and keep her weight down for both her joint disease as well as risk of VSD. I can not figure out what VSD stands for. He says it very clearly. All my searches turn up ventricular septal defect, but his use of the word "distally" makes me think he is not talking about that. Plus, this is an orthopedist. ...
