💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What has having a child taught you?
What was the most interesting question?
My opinion regarding how a patient is supposed to go about getting a prescription they need immediately when their insurance company won't pay up front because they require approval which can take a couple of days to a week.
The interviewer who asked this question had actually just had this happen to her and she ended up charging the $2000 prescription on her credit card until the insurance company could reimburse her, but her concern was for those who had no other means of purchasing the prescription.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over my application, browsed Touro website, good night sleep.
