Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding

Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding, 4th Edition, by Betsy J. Shiland, provides coders and coding students with an integrated foundation in clinical language and human body systems. Published by Mosby, this textbook combines anatomy and physiology instruction with the specialized medical terminology required for professional code selection across ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT systems.

The instructional structure links physical body structures directly to standard classification frameworks. Diseases, clinical disorders, and associated pathology terms are organized systematically using ICD-10 disease and disorder categories, allowing readers to study anatomical concepts within the context of actual coding structures.

To reinforce knowledge, the text includes integrated exercises alongside electronic medical records that reflect real health record formats. This format helps learners develop practical familiarity with clinical documentation as they master core medical terms and anatomical principles.
