About Ryan
Ryan McDonald supports the firm’s clients who have found themselves engaged in, or threatened with, a dispute. Ryan leverages his experience as a litigator and trial attorney to persuasively advocate for his clients—both in and out of the courtroom—and brings his health care knowledge to provide strategic counsel and advise clients on substantive business decisions.
Beyond litigating on behalf of health care entities, Ryan also wields his subject-matter experience in Medicare reimbursement and Indiana’s mental health statutes to assist acute care hospitals and inpatient psychiatric facilities in obtaining payment for services they have rendered to their patients. His comprehensive approach ensures that clients not only navigate disputes effectively but also achieve practical, results-driven solutions.
