choublak, are you looking into this as a career? If so, send me a PM, and perhaps I can offer some info. I was a medical transcriptionist for 9 years and have some insight into coding also.
Also, I would suggest doing a Google search for "medical coder forum" or similar term. When I was first considering going into medical transcription, I lurked in several MT forums and learned a LOT about what the job really is, what you really need to know/do to be successful, and what the job market is really like, rather than what the tech school brochure tells you. Be sure to ask about placement rates for the school you are considering attending.

Hello, I am going to school for Medical Coding and Reimbursement if you want to chat about any of it.
However, the algebra for the Health Information Management Degree is making me want wine and xanax... But I'm resisting the urge
