Are you looking for a challenging and rewarding paid rotational internship opportunity with one of Michigan’s top ranked workplaces?  Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies is seeking a motivated group of students to join our team!  

The Medical Claims 14-Week Internship offers a comprehensive learning experience through rotations in Personal Injury Protection (PIP), Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP), Workers Compensation (WC), and the PIP Litigation Unit. Interns will gain valuable insight into the medical claims process, enhance their analytical skills, and understand the legal aspects of claims management. We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Intern to join our team to gain hands-on experience doing purposeful work in various aspects of medical claims handling. You may also have the opportunity to attend court proceedings and participate in ride-alongs with our Special Investigations Unit.

Interns will receive mentorship, training, and support from experienced professionals in the medical claims field and gain networking opportunities within the insurance and legal industries. 

This position is hybrid, offering the flexibility to work remotely with the expectation to also work in the office.

The Medical Claims Intern is a part of the Agricultural Insurance Internship. The Agricultural Insurance Internship is a partnership between five different departments within Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies. Interns who are a part of the Agricultural Insurance Internship will get to have unique experiences in our Claims, Underwriting, Marketing, Agency and Public Policy & Commodity Division spaces.

All summer interns will also have the opportunity to participate in the following events:

Intern Meet-n-Greet
