Attorney, Health Plan Recovery

Launch your legal career where strategy drives measurable results.

Location: St. Louis, Missouri | On-site
Compensation: $100,000-$120,000 base salary plus uncapped performance incentive

Newly licensed and ready to build real negotiating experience? At Intellivo, you will own meaningful matters, work directly with attorneys and insurance carriers, and see how strong legal strategy translates into measurable financial outcomes for major health plans.

About the Role

Looking for a legal career that gives you work-life balance and uncapped commissions without the billable-hour model? As an Attorney in Health Plan Recovery, you will represent the reimbursement interests of some of the nation's largest health plans and resolve subrogation matters involving ERISA, non-ERISA, and fully insured plans.

You will develop negotiation strategy, communicate directly with plaintiff attorneys, carriers, and adjusters, and move matters from case positioning through settlement. Cases may involve motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, medical malpractice, and workers' compensation.

This is a business-focused legal role for attorneys who want to sharpen their judgment, advocacy, negotiation, and portfolio-management skills while producing visible client and financial impact.

Why Early-Career Attorneys Choose Intellivo

• Build substantive negotiation experience from the start of your career
• Fully own a large portfolio of cases and develop practical judgment through real decisions
• Work directly with plaintiff attorneys, insurance carriers, adjusters, and experienced internal partners
• Learn the intersection of healthcare, insurance, finance, ERISA, and legal operations
• Commission success through case outcomes rather than billable hours
• Grow into more complex matters, larger portfolios, and expanded leadership opportunities

What You'll Do

• Manage a high-value portfolio of health plan reimbursement and subrogation matters
• Represent health plan recovery interests in discussions with plaintiff attorneys, carriers, and adjusters
• Evaluate liability, plan rights, settlement posture, reduction requests, escalation options, and recovery potential
• Apply legal reasoning to matters involving ERISA, non-ERISA, and fully insured plans
• Develop and execute negotiation strategy from case positioning through final settlement
• Make timely recommendations and decisions that move matters toward resolution
• Direct your legal assistants who support documentation, follow-up, and case administration within your portfolio
• Maintain clear case strategy, documentation, and communication across a high-volume portfolio
• Meet monthly settlement and recovery goals while delivering a consistent client experience

What Success Looks Like

• You consistently deliver recovery results while protecting the health plan's reimbursement interests
• You keep a high-volume portfolio moving and make strong decisions without unnecessary delay
• You expand your impact over time through increased portfolio capacity and greater case complexity
• You build confidence and sound judgment across increasingly complex recovery matters
• You communicate persuasively, professionally, and directly with sophisticated external stakeholders

What You Bring

• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school
• Active license in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction
• 0-3 years of legal experience; relevant industry experience is welcome but not required
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with readiness to negotiate by phone and in writing
• Critical thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to make timely decisions with available information
• Ownership mindset and comfort being accountable for portfolio and financial outcomes
• Ability to organize, prioritize, and progress multiple matters in a fast-paced environment
• Drive to learn healthcare reimbursement, subrogation, insurance, and ERISA concepts
• Collaborative, results-oriented approach with a focus on solutions and outcomes

No subrogation experience? That is okay. We will teach you the business. You bring your law license, curiosity, judgment, and drive to become a strong negotiator.

Compensation and Career Growth

• Base salary: $100,000-$120,000, based on experience
• Performance incentive: Uncapped commission tied directly to individual recovery outcomes
• Total earnings: Uncapped and performance-driven
• Growth path: Increased case complexity, portfolio ownership, earning opportunity, and leadership scope as capability and results grow
