      Answer Example

      "Yes, I certainly have and am always willing and ready to do so as part of the UnitedHealth Group team to help satisfy a client. I know that they are the lifeblood of your success and can envision that your team works tirelessly to research claim inquiries and ensure that quick payment recovery occurs for clients. Looking back over the last five years of my career in my current role, I think of one particular client I was supporting who was having a lot of trouble reading and deciphering billing statements and insurance charges they were receiving. Knowing that this elderly individual was lost in the process, I read through her statements with her and noticed that there were likely some coding errors that could alter what was actually being covered by insurance. I encouraged her to call the provider's office to clarify, and I was sure glad I did because a majority of her re-coded things ended up being covered. I was certainly happy to provide this extra service for her."

      "I am a retail sales & customer service associate in my current role, but I've been known to take on an unofficial "IT Support" role within the store. When the POS system glitches, usually during a transaction, or the sound system stops working, I'm the person my co-workers and employer calls on to walk them through the situation and resolve the issue, and I'm good at it."
