Health insurance can be complex to the average person, and the interviewer wants to know if you can handle an upset person. Show that you care about each caller and have empathy for each individual. Showcase your problem-solving skills and the fact you can handle a high degree of emotion on the phone without getting rattled while helping the customer and trying to get them what they need.

"I had a caller the other week who was crying because her insurance didn't cover a procedure that she had a month prior. She was very upset and stated that she couldn't afford to pay the bill. I let her talk without interrupting her and listened. I repeated what the issue was to make sure I understood her correctly. I took her information down and looked up her account to see what her insurance covered. I discovered that our insurance covered 80% of the procedure, but she had to pay for the other 20%. Through further conversation in a calming voice, I was able to tell her that insurance covered a big portion of the procedure and gave her the number of the financial assistance office at the hospital to see if they could put her on a payment plan for the remaining portion. I knew from my experience that most health care systems offer this. She sounded relieved and grateful when we hung up and thanked me for my help."

"I had a caller who didn't know what his statement meant; he said all of the medical terminologies didn't make sense to him. I wrote down his questions and then pulled up his statement and walked him through each part so he understood the statement. He didn't have any payments he would be responsible for, so he was very happy. He didn't know this until I took the time to walk him through the statement. He thanked me at the end of the call."
