Billing & Business Internship Opportunities
For those interested in the operational foundation of a thriving mental health practice, we offer a specialized Billing & Business Operations Internship.
This role is designed for high-achieving students who want to master the complex intersection of insurance, finance, and group practice management. Because this role involves specialized training and deep immersion into our daily operations, it requires a long-term commitment (at least 1 year). This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the owners of the practice, receiving high-level mentorship on how to run a sustainable and professional counseling group.
Key Responsibilities & Learning Opportunities:
Comprehensive Benefit Verifications: Navigating the landscape of both private commercial insurance and Medicaid to help clients understand their coverage and remove financial barriers to starting therapy.
Insurance Landscape Mastery: Gaining expert-level knowledge of the Illinois healthcare system, including various MCOs (Managed Care Organizations) and major private insurance carriers.
Business Expense Reporting: Assisting the owners with financial organization and tracking the logistical costs required to keep a group practice running smoothly.
Revenue Cycle Support: Learning the end-to-end process of behavioral health claims, from initial submission to final reimbursement.
This role is a great fit for:
Business or Healthcare Admin Students: Individuals looking for a resume-defining experience in a specialized, high-growth niche.
Future Practice Owners: Anyone who plans to one day lead their own clinic and wants to master the "business of counseling" early on.
Detail-Oriented Problem Solvers: People who enjoy "solving the puzzle" of insurance and want to see the direct impact of their work on the practice’s ability to provide stable, consistent care to the community.
