Medicaid Advisory Committee and Beneficiary Advisory Council 

​Per federal rules, DMS has created a new Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC) for current and former Medicaid members and their family or caregivers. Additionally, DMS has changed the Advisory Council for Medical Assistance to the Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC). The goal of these changes is to expand membership and to ensure more people with lived Medicaid experience have a voice in the program. Information about the new MAC and BAC is available on the MAC webpage.
