I see huge potential for this field of work. This is the business of medicine, which is becoming increasingly important. Whether a healthcare provider stays in business or not is not so much dependent on the delivery of quality healthcare, but rather on the billing that keeps the underlying business going. Being a medical coder is just learning to "play the game" (from a medical business perspective). Your wife could work for a hospital, a medical office/clinic, an insurance company, the government, a medical device company, etc. She could work part-time or full-time. While most jobs out there require work in an office, there are opportunities to work from home/remotely, as well.

You need to know some medical jargon, but it's a job about knowing the rules (of medical billing) to maximize your employer's/client's return.
