The DHCF Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC) is a group where Medicaid beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers can share their experiences and ideas on how Medicaid can better meet people’s needs. BAC members:
- Give feedback on policies and programs that affect Medicaid beneficiaries
- Share problems that beneficiaries have getting the care they need
- Support clearer communication and public understanding of Medicaid services
- Help build stronger connections between beneficiaries and DHCF
The BAC meets four times per year and follows the DC fiscal year (October 1 – September 30). BAC meeting materials as well as the bylaws can be found below.
