About Nathan Kottkamp

The hallmark of Nathan Kottkamp’s practice is that he regularly handles intricate—and often urgent—matters, such as professional licensure complaints, regulatory deficiency findings, difficult patient/ethics issues, medical staff issues, and just about anything else that inevitably arises in the complex context of providing health care services. When he is not tending to these situations, Nathan provides experience-informed counsel to clients to reduce the risk or extent of problems in the first place, at both the state and federal levels.

Among Nathan’s clients are hospitals and health systems, academic medical centers, behavioral health care services providers, senior care providers and retirement communities, specialty physician practices, and post-acute, and long-term care providers.

Nathan is a nationally recognized authority on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). In addition to his other privacy and security experience, Nathan has earned the CIPP/US designation as a Certified Information Privacy Professional from the International Association of Privacy Professionals. He has been recognized as a “Leading Lawyer” for Cyber Law in Virginia by Legal 500 U.S. (2017-2018) and has been named to “Legal Elite,” Health Law by Virginia Business (2009-2017, 2019-2022). Complementing his HIPAA experience, Nathan routinely addresses issues involving 42 CFR Part 2, with respect to substance use disorder records.

Nathan has advised on numerous Certificate of Public Need (COPN) matters ranging from service expansions to the development of new hospitals, retirement communities, substance abuse facilities, and ambulatory surgery centers. Nathan also counsels clients on the Emergency Medical Treatment & Active Labor Act (EMTALA); the False Claims Act (FCA); the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS); the Stark Law; the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act); the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); and state data breach laws.
