InterviewI applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Express Scripts (Memphis, TN)
The interview process was quick. I went through a placement service. The overall interview process was simple once you made it past the initial interview with the placement service. I had a total of 3 interviews. If you have any medical background, that would be a plus. Medical terminology and ICD-10 codes knowledge is a plus also.

The traditional section is fairly standard, but the technical section is more in-depth and goes beyond the actual responsibilities of the job. It covers both networking and Linux for the most part.
