Medical Coding And Billing Course for Beginners | ICD, CPT, HCPCS, CPC | Medical Terminology - 3

So welcome to great online training.

Myself Nikita. I'm a CBC certified

medical coding trainer in great online

training. So today is day three and

today we're going to discuss about

medical terminologies. Okay. So medical

coding is like a different language

because we know what doctor know and

without going into that without going

into medical school we have to read and

understand the health report of the

patient if we didn't understand some

part of this some part of report then it

is it is potential that we lo we choose

wrong medical code right so that's why

understanding your body our anatomy

different body system medical

terminology is important and it will all

goes together. You can't neglect anatomy

terminology and directly study medical

coding because if you didn't didn't

study anatomy or medical terminology,

how will you going to understand coding?

Right? That's why this is also important

part and uh in this session I have

included most of the terminologies which

are

necessary to know by medical. Okay.

regarding interview and regarding

medical coding examinations also. So I

know that that medical coding and

medical terminology field is vast field.

You will get this knowledge in on

internet also. Okay. And ultimately you

have to go and use that also. But in

this session I have included some

important terminologies. Okay. It is not

possible for me also to cover all the

medical terminologies because this is

very vast chapter but I make sure that I

have included that most of the important

medical terminologies

right so without any further ado let's

get started first we'll see topics

covered in this class on we have

objectives we'll see objectives of

learning medical terminology then

introduction then basic word parts then

medical root words, medical prefixes,

medical suffixes, word analysis, medical

terms and medical abbrevations and

acronyms. Okay. So first we'll see what

are the objectives of learning medical

terminologies.

Learning medical terminology

is important because you get more

understanding about medical care and and

you can get find out your mistakes more

easily if you have good knowledge of

medical terminology and you can work

quickly and accurately because medical

coding jobs are productivity and quality

based jobs. You have to complete your

job. You have to complete more and more

charts or which are whatever the target

given by your company or your seniors

within the certain time frame. You have

to speak to your accuracy also. Okay,

that is around 95%.

95 to 98% accuracy and you need to give

your production 100% and above that if

you give more than 100% production you

will get incentives also ensuring

accurate accurate coding and billing.

Okay, if you know medical terminologies

very well you can do accurate coding and

billing enabling healthare service

providers to receive payments on time.

Okay. If you uh if you didn't make any

mistake or do very little mistakes, your

healthare provider will receive their

payments on time. This is introduction.

Medical terminology is the language used

in healthcare to describe anatomy,

structures, conditions, diagnosis,

procedures, treatments and much more.

Okay. So this is medical terminology is

the separate language used by health

care providers okay or those in the

healthcare field to describe anatomy

structures conditions diagnosis and

procedures treatments and other things.

Medical terms typically use a

combination of prefixes, root words and

suffixes to define the meaning. The word

of medical terminology is quite vast. So

we arrange them into categories like

medical root words, medical prefixes,

medical suffixes, medical terms and

medical abbreviations and acronyms.

Okay. So first we'll see basic word

parts. The foundation of medical

terminology is rooted in learning the

four basic word parts like prefixes,

root words, suffixes and combining

forms. Okay. Most medical words have a

beginning, middle and an end. Beginning

is called prefix. The middle is called

root word and end is called suffix. So

we have mainly three parts beginning,

middle and end. Beginning is prefix,

middle is root word and end is suffix.

Sorry. The combining bo o and i etc. is

used between two word roots and between

a word root and a suffix to ease

pronunciation. For example,

earth opathy. Here o is the combining

vowel. Okay. Use so that we can easily

pronounce arthropathy. Okay. Suppose

this O is not there and just arthropathy

is there. So it not sound good. So

arropati when we use o between earth and

py it is very easy to pronounce like

that

iick the suffix is iick i begins with

the v i. Therefore a combining vo is not

used here. Okay. In case of which

already has any vo

no need to use extra wel between two two

words. Okay. Understanding terminology

involves breaking words in breaking

words down into their separate

components of prefix suffix and words

and possesses a good working knowledge

of these parts. You can see here hypo

and here hypo means below normal term

means it and means condition. Just a

minute. So hypo means below normal.

Therm means it and means condition. So

if you know how to break down the word

you can get better understanding about

that medical terminology. Okay. Now

we'll see root words. Root means

subject. It's the main part or

foundation of the word. Okay. All words

have at least one word root. A word root

may be used alone or combined with other

elements to form a complete word. The

root the word root usually refers to a

body. Some root words are derived from

Latin or Greek language. That's that's

the reason why you have to learn about

at least basic word rules. Okay. Most of

the time they have derived from Latin

and Greek words. Do you have any doubt?

Yes ma. Uh actually I can't see the

slides what you are saying about this. I

can see the only one slide of medical

terminology.

Will it be like that?

No, you can uh you have to see. I'm so

sorry.

Okay. Okay.

Clicking here.

Yeah. Now, yeah, now I can see.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. Thanks. If such thing happen in

future, please let me know at the

starting only. Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah. Do I go back and show the slides

again? I'll show you. There's nothing

just this this thing only. Hypothe

hypo means below normal. Therm means

heat and means condition. So the word

hypothermia means the condition when our

body heat gets

below normal range. Okay, that is called

hypothermia. So if you know meaning of

hypoth and you can understand

term hypothermia. Next the next root

words. Root means subject means the main

part of or foundation of the word. Okay.

All words have at least one root. Some

word some medical terminologies also

made from more than one root word. A

word root may be used alone or combined

with other elements to form complete

word. It can be used with prefix or

voels. If two root words are there, we

have to use uh some between them like

this. The word root, the [clears throat]

word root usually refers to a body part.

Some root words are derived from Latin

or Greek language. You can see here one

example hyper thyroidism. Okay. So we

divide this hypothyroidism word into

three parts. First hyper. Okay. Then

thyroid and then ism. So here hyper
