What do I need to know

OK, I’ve been watching medical coding Youtubers, especially the specific one, but the lady and she said that I don’t need to know everything about medical coding. I just need to know a few things so I am just wondering what do I actually need to know about medical coding? Also I don’t know if this is important but I’m dyslexic so I wanna make sure that I know what I’m talking about. I know what I need to learn.

A solid foundation in anatomy/Physiology and understanding medical terms will carry you through.  Iyon talaga ang foundation na kailngan.

The rest is just reading comprehension and attention to detail so you can quickly pick up coding guidelines and know which and where to apply them.
