Profile

Troy Oechsner provides strategic legal and regulatory counsel to healthcare stakeholders across a broad spectrum of critical areas, including insurance reform, premium rate reviews, provider billing and payment, drug pricing, product approvals, benefits management, audits, and compliance with state and federal laws.

Prior to Manatt, Troy served as the deputy superintendent for health insurance at the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). In that role, he was the primary regulator for all commercial health insurance in the state, as well as an innovator in proposing key legislative and regulatory reforms. He served as a state lead to federal regulators in implementing Affordable Care Act insurance reforms and establishing New York State of Health, the state’s health insurance exchange. In addition, Troy was acting executive deputy superintendent of the DFS Insurance Division, supervising the Health, Property, Life and Liquidation bureaus and representing DFS at legislative hearings and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).  

Troy also brings extensive experience from his tenure at the Health Bureau of the New York State Office of the Attorney General, where he held increasingly senior roles as assistant attorney general, Albany section chief and deputy bureau chief. His responsibilities included identifying and directing the investigation and litigation of affirmative legal actions across a wide variety of healthcare issues, as well as overseeing a helpline that advocated for consumers and providers in healthcare disputes. In addition, he conducted critical legislative initiatives, including analyzing and proposing legislation. Troy joined the Office of the Attorney General as an assistant solicitor general in the Appeals and Opinions Bureau, where he managed the appellate practice for New York State in both federal and state courts.

Troy began his legal career at the New York State Court of Appeals, where he started as a court attorney and later served as the personal law clerk to Judge Stewart Hancock. He also spent almost two decades as an adjunct professor at Albany Law School.
