Many people might not understand why the area of claims, billing, and medical coding are important at Centene Corporation. But the fact is that it is vitally important, and the organization puts a lot of time and effort into assuring compliance and accuracy in all work they do. Your interviewer wants to ensure you aren't just looking for your next job, but you genuinely care about the impact your role can make for your clients on the receiving end.

As you stress why accuracy and compliance are important in this role at Centene Corporation, talk about past work environments where corporate compliance policies were in place, and you needed to ensure accurate work on your end 100% of the time. No matter how you answer, speak with a passion to assure your interviewer that you will always take compliance seriously on the job in this role.

"We've all been on the receiving end of an incorrect bill. People who have been to the hospital or clinic don't have the time or energy for those mistakes. Through my work, I can make sure patients can focus on getting better rather than making phone calls to figure out an incorrect bill."

"In this industry, patient billing information and reimbursements are picked over with a fine-toothed comb, and I know I need to be accurate in all of my work here at Centene Corporation. In my current position, we have strict corporate compliance policies and procedures in place for when a mistake is found. I always follow the guidelines and procedures and do what is right for the members."
