Subrogation Attorney

The Phia Group provides, amongst other things, claim recovery services for health benefit plans. When a health benefit plan pays medical bills, and we later discover someone else should have paid those medical bills, The Phia Group – on behalf of the health plan – will seek to recover the funds.

The Subrogation Attorney is responsible for providing in-house legal support, research on all issues impacting the Company (as an employer and service provider), handling the most complicated cases and assignments, and playing the role of liaison for high ranking clientele.

Attorneys are called upon to handle both the highest-level assignments, as well as act as a face of the Company, attending client events, industry conferences, and conducting webinars, conference calls and sales gatherings.

At The Phia Group, whose mission is to provide high quality yet affordable healthcare to American employees and their dependents, you can look forward to not only exceptional benefits for yourself but also being immersed in a company that has been named one of USA Today’s top workplaces for 2024.
