Global law firm K&L Gates LLP welcomes Kevin Page as a partner in the health care practice. Page joins the firm’s Nashville office, celebrating its one-year anniversary in early 2022. He arrives at K&L Gates from Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis LLP.
Page represents for-profit and not-for-profit health systems, post-acute providers, and other healthcare and technology clients on complex healthcare regulatory compliance, operational, and transactional matters, including advising on state and federal fraud and abuse laws (such as Stark, Anti-Kickback, Civil Monetary Penalties Law, False Claims Act, and fee splitting laws, among others), HIPAA privacy and security compliance and investigations, and overpayment determinations, and assisting clients with sophisticated mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures.
Page also has substantial experience with advising clients on compliance with Medicare/Medicaid regulations, provider enrollment, credentialing and provider-based requirements, reimbursement issues, state professional licensing regulations, corporate practice of medicine laws, Part C/Part D FDR compliance, and various other state and federal healthcare laws.
Mary Beth Johnston, co-leader of the firm’s health care and FDA practice and interim managing partner of the Nashville office, said: “Large health systems and other healthcare providers rely on Kevin for advice and counsel on a wide variety of regulatory compliance, operational, and transactional matters. We are delighted to welcome him to our growing health care practice in Nashville.”
Page’s arrival follows the addition of health care partner Andrea Cunha in Austin, as well as a number of other new health care partners in the firm’s Nashville office, including Ken Marlow, Matthew Miller, Kim Looney, Stephen Page, and Wells Beckett, throughout the year. They are among the more than 100 partners and of counsel the firm has welcomed across its platform since the beginning of 2020.
K&L Gates’ health care lawyers represent clients across the care continuum – from premier academic medical centers and hospitals and health systems to home health agencies and hospices, pharmacies, clinical labs, durable medical equipment suppliers, and long-term care providers – on a variety of state and federal regulatory and compliance issues, investigations, transactions, and litigation.
