Robert C. Deegan

Robert’s cases frequently involve statutory and common law challenges to managed care clients' clinical care guidelines and medical policies. In addition to defending MCOs in litigation, Robert proactively advises his clients on ways to reduce risks associated with medical necessity and experimental/investigational provisions of clinical care guidelines, medical policies, and health benefit plans.

Drawing on his training as a master’s-prepared nurse and his more than ten years of experience working in a variety of inpatient (short- and long-term), outpatient, and community mental health settings (including programs serving both private pay and primarily Medicaid populations), Robert provides practical and innovative legal advice to protect his clients and help them achieve their business goals.
