Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC): In accordance with new federal requirements, DMS is also creating a new 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.

If you are interested in applying to the BAC, please follow the process outlined below. All applications must be submitted by May 29, 2025. 

DMS will let applicants know if they have been selected or not by the end of June. A final list of members will be posted on this landing page no later than July 7, 2025. All terms will have an effective date of July 9, 2025.
