Why This Role is Important to Us:

Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) is thrilled once again to host its Summer Internship Program for clinical and non-clinical departments this year! The Internship Program is open to undergraduate and graduate students from across the country. CCA Internships are a valuable way for students to obtain real-world experience, gain exposure to a specific field, build their network for the future, and support our members and communities. This program is a great way for CCA to attract and develop exceptional talent as we continue to grow.

We are looking for rising 2Ls and 3Ls in good academic standing for a summer internship in the Legal Affairs office at our Boston corporate headquarters, that will provide educational and work experience in the following areas: health care transactions, drafting and reviewing (business associate agreements, non-disclosure agreements, provider network contracts, vendor contracts, consultant agreements), HIPAA and release of information, privacy and security, compliance, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, communications and marketing, patient care issues, policies and procedures review; and board governance.



What You'll Be Doing:

Interns work full-time, hybrid-remote for up to 15 weeks, for at least 35 hours per week, on a broad range of substantive legal areas, and also learn first-hand the practice experience of being in-house counsel working with internal clients in an integrated health insurance and health care delivery system. Interns work on active matters that introduce them to the practice and substance of the law, such as review of various contracts, legal issues pertaining to patient care, and transactions related to health insurance market expansion, as well as research and writing projects which are generally short, focused, and frequently involve novel or complicated issues. CCA attorneys will explain how projects fit into overall legal strategy and provide substantive feedback on work product. This position will work in the Legal Affairs Department supervised by the Vice President & Associate General Counsel.

Additional Information
