The department is seeking applications for three advisory groups that work to improve programs and services. Please help us get the word out!

Medicaid Advisory Committee. A group consisting of health care providers, community organizations, advocates and other partners. Apply by Aug. 31.
Beneficiary Advisory Council. Made up exclusively of people on Medical Assistance or their family members or caregivers. Expertise is not required; personal experience and perspective is what matters. Apply by Aug. 31.
