account specifics. I have never been told to expand any type of lab value for any of my accounts.

there are a LOT of account-specific questions on this board lately. - go figure. cannot do anything with those. NM

I graduated from The Andrews School and we were instructed to expand the white count values. If they were dictated as 5.3, we were to expand them to 5300, 13.3 - 13,300, etc. If there are no account specifics given on this, I would expand, but account specifics always override what you may have been instructed.
