In January 2019, the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health (Secretary) requested that an Advisory Council (Council) be established to provide input on MDPCP operations.
Key responsibilities of the Council include:
- Making recommendations for inclusion in the State's annual report to CMS on MDPCP;
- Considering MDPCP operational improvements, including suggested modifications to care delivery requirements;
- Gathering data from MDPCP providers and beneficiaries to support issue research; and
- Requesting other agencies within the Maryland Department of Health to examine specific issues.
The MHCC convenes the Council quarterly or as needed, based on MDPCP policy priorities. Recommendations for Council membership are made by MHCC in consultation with the MDPCP Program Management Office (PMO) and approved by the Secretary. The Council has a total of 21 seats. A list of Council members is available here.
