Shifting regulations make our industry ever-changing. How will you keep up to date with new laws, rules, or legislation that impact your field?
As one of the largest healthcare operations in the world, UnitedHealth Group has a very thorough and detailed compliance program that you can certainly read about on its website. Knowing that regulations are continuously changing surrounding direct patient care, billing, and insurance coverage, your interviewer needs to get the sense that you will always do what is necessary to stay up to speed on new changes and information in your line of work. This is your time to elaborate on any of the groups, associations, professional organizations, or networks that you belong to that help you stay informed in your work. Also, be sure to discuss any publications that you read regularly to show your passion for staying educated.
"Working in the community health setting for the last 12 years with great success is partly due to my passion for learning and growing. New laws and regulations to improve access, care, and affordability certainly make it necessary to stay on top of my game and I will continue to be proud to do so as part of the UnitedHealth Group team. I'm currently an active member of the NACHC and a certified community health worker. Whenever I can, I take advantage of attending the NACHC conferences that they put on. Their policy & issues forum back in 2022 was absolutely informative and amazing. I also love to stay up to date on their website on new care delivery research that is released because I always find things that I can use in my work."
