Medical Care Advisory Committee

Federal law requires states have a Medical Care Advisory Committee (MCAC) to advise about health and medical care services that may be covered by their local Medicaid programs. In North Carolina, the MCAC advises the state about issues such as revisions to existing policies, policy development and methods of assessing the quality of care, for both NC Medicaid and NC Health Choice.

Note: MCAC is advisory and does not set policy.
