About your past

Tell me about your home health field experience and how it shapes the way you review others' work.

What they are checking: Whether they have real field context, which the posting requires, so their reviews are practical and credible.

Tell me about a time you spotted a pattern of errors and helped fix it at the source.

What they are checking: Whether they think beyond single corrections to training or process changes that prevent repeat mistakes.

What would you do

You find an OASIS answer that doesn't match the clinician's narrative. How do you approach the clinician about it?

What they are checking: Whether they can ask for corrections in a way that teaches, without making field staff defensive.

How do you make sure your feedback on OASIS stays compliant and never pushes a clinician toward a score they didn't observe?

What they are checking: Whether they understand the line between accurate coding guidance and leading clinicians to inflate scores.

You have a stack of reviews and a deadline, and one clinician isn't answering your questions. What do you do?

What they are checking: How they prioritize and escalate so reviews don't stall and billing isn't held up.

About the work

Walk me through how you review an OASIS assessment that a field clinician submitted.

What they are checking: Whether they read OASIS for internal consistency and support in the visit note, not just completeness.

What OASIS items do you think clinicians most often score inaccurately, and why?

What they are checking: Whether they know the common trouble spots in functional and clinical items that affect payment and outcomes.

How do you keep up with changes to OASIS guidance and home health rules?

What they are checking: Whether they stay current through reliable sources, since outdated guidance leads to repeated errors.

How do you review a plan of care to make sure it matches the patient's assessed needs?

What they are checking: Whether they connect assessment findings to goals and interventions that are clinically appropriate.
