Main description:

Developed with the medical coder in mind, Advanced Anatomy and Physiology for ICD-10-CM/PCS 2018 explains the ICD-10 code set and provides training on anatomy, medical terminology, body systems, ICD-10 disease processes and documentationrequirements. The level of specificity in the ICD-10 code set requires an increased understanding of human anatomy and physiology to code appropriately. This full-color resource helps provide the insights that lead to mastery.

Updated to reflect the 2018 code set, this resource is ideal for nonfacility and facility coders to use in conjunction with their ICD-10 code manuals. Organized by chapters that mirror the structure of code books, all relevant anatomy and physiology guidance is geared toward the process of code decision-making. Plus, exercises and quizzes at the end of each section and chapter reinforce learning and ensure full understanding.
