The Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC), formerly known as the Medical Care Advisory Committee, is a federally mandated committee that reviews and makes recommendations to the state Medicaid director on proposed changes that involve Medicaid policy or affect Medicaid-funded programs.

HHSC has established a Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC) as required by CFR § 431.12 and operates as a standing subcommittee of the MAC. As outlined in 42 CFR 431.12(f)(1) BAC members are not required to include their names in a BAC membership list and meeting minutes.
