Beneficiary Advisory Council

On May 10, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule, 89 FR 40542.

In accordance with Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 42 §431.12(e) the Mississippi Division of Medicaid has established a Beneficiary Advisory Council. The state must form and support a BAC, which can be an existing beneficiary group, made up of current or former Medicaid beneficiaries and people with direct experience supporting Medicaid beneficiaries (family members and paid or unpaid caregivers of people enrolled in Medicaid), to advise the state regarding their experience with the Medicaid program, on matters of concern related to policy development and matters related to the effective administration of the Medicaid program.
