Medical terminology is for ALL of healthcare, not just doctors and nurses but billers, coders, medical assistants, front and back office staff. Basically, anyone you see working in a doctors office, clinic, hospital or nursing home have medical terminology as their "language". In coding, to quote Professor Ray,
" Medical Terminology is PRICELESS in coding". The understanding of medical terminology helps in coding and billing to know the highest certainty and specificity of the disease/injury process and treatment associated with it. By knowing and having the ability to code and bill correctly through your knowledge of medical terminology insurance companies will reimburse and the entire office and staff benefit from it.
