Do you think inpatient coders will need to have a more in depth understanding of anatomy and medical terminology to use the ICD-10-PCS coding system? Why

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know what codes to assign, you need to know what procedure was done, or what part of the body that are you billing for. Example. To know the difference between a colonoscopy and an endoscopy you need some knowledge of Anatomy and medical terminology.
