FAQs: Get your questions answered
What is anatomy?
Human anatomy focuses on the structure of the human body — including the organization and relationships of various body parts, such as bones, muscles, organs, and tissues. It explores where body parts are located, how they’re connected, and what they do.
How will this online course help you learn anatomy?
The anatomy course content is broken up into 8 modules and taught through reading assignments, practice exercises, module review tests, and a final exam. With the help of a medical dictionary and the course textbook, expert instructors will guide students as they learn anatomical terms and the body systems — as well as how to identify them on medical records.
Why does anatomy play an important role in certification training?
To successfully complete your certification training or pass your certification exam, you’ll need to have a strong grasp of anatomy. Knowledge of anatomy is required to correctly identify and assign appropriate codes, ensuring proper reimbursement and compliance with regulations. Everyone training for a role in revenue cycle management should know anatomy so they are prepared to effectively navigate the complexities of coding, billing, and documentation.
