David Koppel

David Koppel, ‘80s wunderkind, is the Policy Development Lead in the Health Informatics and Interoperability Group at CMS. He works across CMS programs to bring interoperability to Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and plans on healthcare.gov. Previously, David worked with states on Medicaid systems, beginning with the HITECH Act and EHR Incentive Program in 2010. He was a Presidential Management Fellow and detailed at the White House Office of Management and Budget. He earned a JD from the George Washington University Law School and a BA from the University of California at Davis. He thinks interoperability is pretty cool, but if you see him at happy hour, he’s always looking to exchange literary recommendations or discuss the cinematic genius of Alejandro Jodorowsky.
