You have to make very difficult decisions in the health insurance industry, and some of them don't feel great when you have a patient who is impacted. Assure the interviewer that you can handle a difficult situation and do your job effectively.

"I worked with a patient going through a very difficult time and had a procedure that wasn't covered. There was an alternative, but she had decided that wasn't the best route for her to take. I felt awful giving her this news, but I knew I couldn't approve it. I mentioned the scenario to my leader to double-check I had done the right thing, and she verified that I made a good call."

"I have a lot of empathy for others, so these situations are hard. I worked with a gentleman who had a denied claim and tried to point him in the direction of community resources that could help him pay for some of his expenses. I also referred him to a social worker at the hospital where he had his surgery to see what resources and payment plans they could come up with for him. I tried to give him the best service and look into as many alternatives as possible."
