Opportunity for People with Disabilities: Join the Beneficiary Advisory Council The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SC DHHS), with Family Connections, has created the Beneficiary Advisory Council (BAC). They want the voices and lived experiences of Medicaid beneficiaries to be heard. You can help inform the decision-making of Medicaid programs. What you would do as a BAC member: BAC members help identify things within the Medicaid system, including service gaps and barriers to access. By engaging with SCDHHS staff, the BAC can help improve Medicaid programs! Council members also serve as community representatives. You can help raise issues that may otherwise go not known.
