MAC Meetings & Notices

2026 Meeting Agenda, Handouts & Presentations

The Planning for Healthy Babies (P4HB) demonstration waiver was renewed for another 10-day period starting September 1, 2019. As part of the special terms and conditions (STCs) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), it is required that a post award forum be held within one year of the start of the new demonstration period. Annually thereafter, the forum should take place within the Medical Care Advisory Committee (MCAC) meeting. On May 10, 2024, CMS published the 2024 Access Final Rule establishing requirements for states to operate Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC) and Beneficiary advisory (BAC). These newly required MACs build off the state’s existing required MCAC. The next public forum will be held during the new MAC meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, and will address the P4HB post award public comments. 

DCH will receive comments from now until January 14, 2026. Attached in this announcement is the most recent P4HB Annual Monitoring Report . Please submit comments pertaining to the P4HB Demonstration to Joko Worjloh at [email protected].

The January 21, 2026, MAC meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams at 11 a.m. The call-in information will be provided at a later date.
