Interview lasted 10 minutes, felt very rushed. Only questions they asked were if I was familiar with medical billing/ healthcare codes, and about my experience with Excel. Didn't hear anything back within the mentioned timeframe, and only knew I was no longer being considered for the position upon checking the application status on the job's Workday site (i.e., no other correspondence after the interview).
