Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding

Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding

<p><b>Medical Terminology and Anatomy for Coding, 3rd Edition</b> is unlike any other medical terminology textbook on the market. By interspersing ICD-10 and CPT coding guidelines and notes, electronic medical records, and integrated exercises, it combines anatomy and physiology coverage with the latest medical terminology coders ― and coding students ― need. The ICD-10-CM classification system serves as the structure for organizing diseases and disorders, with carefully drawn, well-labeled illustrations to help you visualize the associated anatomy. A new <i>Basics of Oncology</i> appendix provides the terminology and physiology of neoplasms, and new CPT coding information indicates where physician coding differs from ICD-10 coding. The robust Evolve site includes games, activities, and animations to reinforce learning.</p><ul><b><li>UNIQUE!</b> <b>Medical terminology, anatomy and physiology </b>specifically tailored to <b>ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS </b>coding manuals<b> </b>supply you with an excellent foundation for learning the medical terminology related to coding.</li><li><b>UNIQUE!</b> <b>A</b> <b><i>Body Part </i>key </b>provides a complete list of body parts and how they should be coded in ICD-10.</li><li><b>UNIQUE!</b> <b>Pathology terms organized by ICD-10 disease and disorder categories </b>let you learn terms in the same order they are presented in the coding manual.</li><li><b>UNIQUE!<i> Guideline Alert! </i>and <i>Special Notes </i>boxes </b>highlight relevant ICD-10 information. </li><li><b>UNIQUE!
