Drawing on more than a decade of experience litigating on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of the General Counsel for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Division, Andrew Tsui represents healthcare providers, suppliers, and laboratories in complex, government-facing investigations, appeals, and direct litigation. Andrew also provides regulatory and compliance counsel to healthcare and life sciences companies requiring an insider’s view to the federal framework. He regularly counsels Medicare Advantage plans, ACOs, and other downstream entities in the insurance markets, and he works closely with durable medical equipment, pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical, and medical device manufacturers that must pivot from FDA approval to payment and reimbursement. 

Andrew’s recent work includes advising early-stage start-up companies in digital and AI-enhanced healthcare technologies. From formulating reimbursement and revenue models to refining coding and coverage approaches, Andrew’s deep experience with alternative payment models, new technology payment adjustments, and the future of value-based care meets founders where they are. An authoritative voice in the industry, Andrew is a frequent speaker at healthcare conferences around the country. 

Andrew obtained his law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law and his Master’s of Public Health from the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. He graduated with high honors from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.
