King & Spalding

Partner

David Hoskins is a partner in the firm’s healthcare practice and specializes in advising healthcare and life sciences companies on maximizing reimbursement strategies under Medicare and Medicaid. With more than 20 years of experience—including as Chief Litigation Counsel for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)—David draws upon his deep institutional insight and expansive litigation background to help clients navigate, challenge and influence complex federal healthcare policies.

Mr. Hoskins’ practice centers on affirmative litigation, where he represents healthcare providers in challenging CMS and state Medicaid agencies over payment policies that directly impact revenue. During his time at the Department of Health and Human Services, David defended hundreds of these cases and helped mold the federal government’s legal strategy in major disputes, including several with billions of dollars at stake. He now brings that same knowledge and strategic foresight to advocate for providers—turning complex administrative legal challenges into powerful tools for financial recovery. Clients count on David to identify policy vulnerabilities, evaluate high-value opportunities for litigation, and lead the charge in federal courts under the Administrative Procedure Act.
