In accordance with new federal requirements, DMS is creating a new Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC) for current and former Medicaid members and their caregivers and/or family. The BAC is designed to ensure people with lived Medicaid experience have the opportunity to effect Medicaid policy and decision making. The initial meeting of the BAC will be in September 2025. There will be fifteen (15) BAC members. Ten (10) will be current Medicaid members or former Medicaid members and five (5) will be parents, guardians or caregivers of Medicaid members.
DMS is in the process of selecting members for the MAC and BAC and will let applicants know if they are selected or not by the end of June. A final list of MAC members will be posted on this landing page no later than July 7, 2025. BAC members have the option to keep their names private so a final BAC membership list may not be posted until after the first meeting.
If you would like to be notified of future opportunities to apply for the MAC, BAC, or to participate in the TACs, sign up
