Advanced Anatomy and Physiology for ICD-10-CM/PCS

The new ICD-10 code set, with an increased number of codes and enhanced code specificity, will require more accuracy and understanding of human anatomy and physiology to code appropriately. Developed with the medical coder in mind, Advanced Anatomy and Physiology for ICD-10-CM/PCS introduces the new ICD-10-CM and PCS systems, identifies their differences and provides an advanced understanding of anatomy, body systems and disease processes.
 
Developed for medical coders, Advanced Anatomy and Physiology for ICD-10-CM/PCS provides an advanced understanding of anatomy, body systems and disease processes. It introduces the new ICD-10-CM and PCS systems and identifies their differences.

Topics addressed:
This helpful resource guides you through all body systems associated with ICD-10 while extending detailed information on how ICD-10-CM and PCS is utilized to identify the appropriate diagnosis and condition.

Divided into two sections:
Section I provides general guidelines and coding conventions for both ICD-10-CM and ICD-9-CM coding systems, with side-by-side comparison charts to help you identify the similarities and differences. Section II provides an overview of ICD-10-PCS codes used for the procedural component of inpatient coding.

Objectives:
Create a solid foundation in basic human anatomy and physiology. Provide in-depth information on the function of cells, tissues, organs, and body systems and the roles they play in maintaining homeostasis and health.  Understand the relationships between anatomy, physiology and code capture in diagnosis and procedure coding.  Address the new anatomical and physiological documentation requirements for code capture in ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS.

Additional features:
Detailed, full-page anatomy illustrations—help better interpret clinical notes allowing you to code with more specificity. Chapter quizzes—test your knowledge and understanding of the content of each chapter. Extensive Table of Contents—detailed listing of every chapter, section, table and illustration allows you to locate important information quickly.
