Executive Summary
Although MCACs have been federally required for nearly 40 years, some states have seriously underutilized this important opportunity to monitor and improve their Medicaid programs. The recently release Medicaid Access Rule makes significant changes to renamed Medicaid Advisory Committees (MACs), including a new requirement that 25% of members be Medicaid enrollees or caregivers, and establishing a Beneficiary Advisory Council. In this webinar presentation, NHeLP will review the important new requirements for MACs and BACs, highlighting implementation challenges and opportunities for advocates.
