Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a time you posted payments or handled money. How did you make sure it balanced?

Tell me about a time you had to juggle phones and in-person customers at the same time.

What they are checking: Whether they can keep both in-person and phone patients served without either feeling ignored.

What would you do to build good working relationships at sites where you're only there now and then?

What they are checking: Whether they can earn trust quickly as a float, so teams welcome them rather than work around them.

What would you do

This role floats between the Occ Health front desk and call center at Miller Parkway, Northwest, Franklin and New Berlin. How do you get ready to work somewhere new on short notice?

What they are checking: Whether they can adapt quickly to different sites and still be accurate from the first patient.

An employer sends a new hire for a drug screen and physical, but there's no authorization on file. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they verify employer authorization before service instead of creating a billing problem afterward.

A worker comes in with an injury and is in pain and frustrated by the paperwork. How do you handle check-in?

What they are checking: Whether they balance getting needed information with recognizing the person is hurting and wants care.

An employer's HR person calls asking about an employee's diagnosis after a work injury visit. What can you share?

What they are checking: Whether they know what can and cannot be shared with employers and check before giving out information.

About the work

Occupational health visits are often paid by an employer or workers' comp, not the patient's insurance. How would that change how you register someone?

What they are checking: Whether they understand that billing the wrong payer is a common and costly occupational health mistake.

Working in the call center, how do you screen calls and take messages so nothing important gets lost?

What they are checking: Whether they capture the right details and route calls so clinical issues reach the right person.

How do you give a patient clear instructions for test prep and arrival time so they show up ready?

What they are checking: Whether they communicate details accurately enough to prevent rescheduled tests and wasted visits.
