Using small learning segments or “chunks,” Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding, 5th Edition makes it easy to learn anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology. Concepts and terms are introduced and then immediately followed by exercises that reinforce and assess your understanding of the material. In addition, the book discusses word parts and the rules for building medical terms, building knowledge that may be applied to coding for all body systems and procedures. Written by respected educator Betsy Shiland, this book includes an Evolve website with medical animations, labeling activities, quizzes and exams, flashcards, and more.
- NEW! Updated content provides the latest on ICD-10 terminology and categorization.
- NEW! Summary list of CPT-4 and HCPCS codes at the beginning of each chapter introduces the appearance of different coding systems with chapter-appropriate examples.
- NEW! Context Matters! boxes help you avoid potentially embarrassing and costly coding errors by pointing out word parts, terms, and abbreviations that are spelled the same but have completely different meanings.
- NEW! CDI Alert! boxes offer a preview of how the Clinical Documentation Improvement process is related to specific medical terminology in a given body system.
- NEW! Expanded information on subcellular structures explains how gene editing may be used to treat congenital diseases.
- UNIQUE! Combination of A&P coverage with the latest medical terminology provides everything you need to know to code in ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT.
- More than 400 illustrations bring medical terminology to life with anatomic, pathologic, and procedural images.
- Pathology terms are organized by ICD-10 disease and disorder categories, allowing you to learn terms in the same order they are presented in the coding manual.
- Body Part Key provides a complete list of body parts and how they should be coded in ICD-10.
- Sample electronic medical records present terminology as you will encounter it on the job.
- Summary tables show procedural suffixes and their corresponding ICD-10 root operations.
- Practical appendices cover topics such as pharmacology, oncology, and infectious disease, providing the basic information coders need to be able to understand these ICD-10 subjects and to code them correctly.
- Evolve website provides practice and review with medical animations, labeling activities, quizzes and exams, flashcards, and the Body Spectrum electronic coloring book.
