Mara C. Horn
“I know how important it is to get things right when working with providers. Focusing on the details while understanding how they fit into the bigger picture can be the key to providing effective, actionable counsel.”
Long before embarking on her legal career, Mara Horn developed a deep personal interest and professional experience in improving the health care system for providers and patients alike. She complements that background with a demonstrable commitment to client service in her work on a wide range of regulatory and business-related matters.
The daughter of health care professionals, Mara developed an early appreciation of how policies, systems, laws, and regulations impacted the delivery of care and the ability of providers to do their jobs. That exposure fueled her academic endeavors, as she earned her BA in Global Health & the Environment from Washington University in St. Louis. She then earned her law degree from The University of Michigan Law School, where she helped re-launch the school’s first Health Law Organization. Outside the classroom, Mara supplemented her studies with an internship at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and working as a summer associate at HLB.
Mara decided to pursue a career in health care law after seeing firsthand how integral lawyers were in efforts to improve the health care system, specifically their role in defining and managing relationships between providers and government payors. Working as a managing consultant for health care strategy at a national health care consulting firm, she focused her efforts on revenue strategy, value-based care model design, and Medicaid implementation and strategy, among many other responsibilities.
