A former government litigator and authority on alternative payment models under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Dave brings an insider’s understanding to the regulatory challenges and opportunities in the ever-changing health insurance space.
His practice focuses on regulatory and compliance issues relating to Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, with significant experience in value-based care arrangements.

He understands the analytical underpinnings of government health insurance models and regulations, the inner workings of the regulatory bodies who develop these systems, and the compliance challenges and litigation risks that health insurance stakeholders face, day in, day out.
