Description

Aledade is recruiting for 2026 Summer Interns! Interns ​receive​ guidance​ ​from​ senior​ ​leaders​ and​ ​take​ ​part​ ​in​ ​substantive, hands-on​ ​projects​ ​that​ ​foster​ an understanding​ ​of​ ​overall​ ​operations​ ​at​ ​Aledade​ ​and​ ​the​ ​function​ ​of our​ ​complex​ ​healthcare​ system​ ​in​ ​general.​ This internship will begin on June 1st, 2026, and last for 10 weeks until August 7th, 2026. 

The Contracting Operations intern will serve as a critical contributor to the MSSP Application Process, playing an essential role in expanding access to value-based care. This position encompasses comprehensive quality assurance responsibilities, including conducting thorough reviews of practice submissions to CMS to ensure complete alignment between submitted documentation and application details, accurate routing of submissions to the appropriate Accountable Care Organization (ACO), and full correspondence between executed Participation Agreements (PAs) and corresponding CMS submissions. Additionally, the intern will provide vital support in distributing reshuffle Participation Agreements to existing network practices - a high-volume, time-sensitive process requiring additional team capacity during peak periods. Exceptional attention to detail is paramount in this mission-critical role, as quality assurance oversights could result in practice partners being excluded from MSSP participation opportunities for an entire program year, directly impacting their ability to deliver value-based care to their communities.

In​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​taking​ ​ownership​ ​over​ ​substantial​ ​projects,​ ​an​ ​Aledade​ Intern ​will​ ​also:

  • Attend​​​ ​meetings​ with a cohort of other Interns where​ ​you​ ​will​ ​hear​ ​from​ ​leaders across​ ​the company, participate in professional development programming, and touch base with other Interns. 
  • Gain​ ​exposure​ ​to​ ​senior​ ​executives​ ​and​ ​industry​ ​leaders.
  • Develop​ ​expertise​ ​in​ ​areas​ ​including​ ​healthcare​ ​policy,​ ​programming​ ​languages,​ ​business​ ​operations, Medicare​, ​and​ ​commercial​ ​payer​ ​contracts​ ​and​ ​clinical​ ​workflows.
  • Have​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​attend​ ​relevant​ ​events​ ​and​ ​trainings​ ​in​ ​the​ ​healthcare​ ​field. 

    • The​ ​ideal​ ​candidate​ ​will​ ​have​ ​prior​ ​internship​ ​experience,​ ​a​ ​strong​ ​record​ ​of​ ​academic​ ​success​ ​and ​will be:

  • ​​Passionate​ ​about​ ​healthcare​ ​and​ ​interested​ ​in​ ​making​ ​a​ ​positive​ ​impact​ ​in​ ​the​ ​field​.
  • A​ ​self-starter​ ​who​ ​is​ ​able​ ​to​ ​take​ ​initiative​ ​and​ ​ownership​ ​of​ ​projects.
  • ​A​ ​collaborative​ ​team​ ​player​.
  • Detail​ ​oriented​ ​and​ ​self-motivated​ ​to​ ​produce​ ​work ​that​ ​meets​ ​high​ ​standards.

    Who We Are:
    Aledade, a public benefit corporation, exists to empower the most transformational part of our health care landscape - independent primary care. We were founded in 2014, and since then, we've become the largest network of independent primary care in the country - helping practices, health centers and clinics deliver better care to their patients and thrive in value-based care. Additionally, by creating value-based contracts across a wide variety of health plans, we aim to flip the script on the traditional fee-for-service model. Our work strengthens continuity of care, aligns incentives and ensures primary care physicians are paid for what they do best - keeping patients healthy. If you want to help create a health care system that is good for patients, good for practices and good for society - and if you're eager to join a collaborative, inclusive and remote-first culture - you've come to the right place.
