The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) invites NYS residents to contribute their voices and lived experiences by applying to serve on the Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC) and the Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC).  The MAC and BAC provide critical input to help guide the development and administration of the NYS Medicaid program and Child Health Plus (CHPlus).  Their collective insight supports the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective care for NYS Medicaid and CHPlus members statewide.  Interested individuals must complete the MAC and BAC Member Application, located on the NYS DOH “Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC) and Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC)” web page, which takes approximately five minutes to complete.  The MAC members will serve a three-year term and BAC members will serve a two-year term.  Providers are encouraged to share this opportunity with their colleagues, patients, caregivers, and community networks who may bring valuable perspectives to this work.  For questions, please contact NYS DOH at: MAC_BAC@health.ny.gov.
