What is the MAC?
The Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC) is a federally-mandated body which advises the Oregon Health Policy Commission, the Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research and the Department of Human Services on the operation of Oregon’s Medicaid program, including the Oregon Health Plan. The MAC develops policy recommendations at the request of the Governor and the Legislature.

Covering Kids
In February 2006, Governor Kulongoski requested that the Medicaid Advisory Committee work with the Oregon Health Policy Commission and the Health Services Commission to produce a set of policy recommendations for maximizing new and existing resources to ensure that all of Oregon's children have access to health care. These recommendations will support the development of the Governor's 2007-2009 recommended budget and the development of Oregon's revised Medicaid demonstration waivers. The MAC held community meetings across Oregon in April and May to talk with stakeholders and citizens about the best way to improve children's access to health care services.
The Committee submitted its recommendations to the Governor's Office on May 18, 2006 and will work with the Oregon Health Policy Commission and the Health Services Commission in the coming months as those bodies develop recommendations for improved access to health care for all Oregonians.
Over the next 18 months, the MAC will address such issues as chronic care management, expanded health coverage for parents, long-term care, health disparities, and Medicaid financing options.
