Am I supposed to remember all medical terms to be a medical coder? That includes things about anatomy, physiology and pathology.

Answer 1

It is highly recommended that you know the main medical terms like, root, prefix, combining form and suffixes. you will not remember all the terms, but if you have the main terms, you will be able to learn the others as you move through each body system

Answer 2

While it is helpful to have familiarity with medical terms, it is not required that you remember all medical terms to be a medical coder.
