About your past
Tell me about a time you had to tell someone bad news about a wait or a cancellation.
What they are checking: Whether they deliver bad news early and with options, which the posting calls informing patients of delays.
Tell me about a time you went out of your way for a customer or patient.
What they are checking: Whether exemplary service, which the posting stresses, is something they actually do and can describe.
What would you do
Many audiology patients have hearing loss. How do you adjust the way you communicate at the desk and on the phone?
What they are checking: Whether they think about the patient's needs, like facing them, speaking clearly and using written notes, in this specific clinic.
Hearing aids and some audiology services may not be fully covered by insurance. How would you handle a patient surprised by what they owe?
What they are checking: Whether they can explain charges calmly and route questions to billing without making promises they can't keep.
A patient brings a family member who starts answering every question for them. How do you handle that?
What they are checking: Whether they respect the patient's own voice and privacy while still welcoming the family.
You notice the patient's demographics in the system don't match their ID. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they stop to fix the record, since mismatched data leads to billing errors and safety risks.
About the work
Walk me through a full check-in, from greeting the patient to sending them back to be seen.
What they are checking: Whether they know the steps of registration, identity, insurance and consent and can do them in order without missing pieces.
How do you handle the end-of-day cash drawer, and what do you do if it's off?

How do you keep the schedule accurate when ENT doctors and audiologists have different appointment types?
What they are checking: Whether they pay attention to provider schedules and visit types so the day runs on time.
What does patient confidentiality look like at a busy front desk?
