Government AdministrationDistrict of Columbia, United States11-50 Employees

MACPAC, the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission, is a non-partisan government body in the United States that analyzes policy and data and makes recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and state authorities on Medicaid and CHIP. Its work covers payment, eligibility, enrollment and retention, coverage, access to care, and quality of care, as well as how these programs interact with Medicare and the broader health system. The commission operates as an independent source of information, publishing issue briefs and data reports to support policy analysis and program accountability, with a staff of analysts who bring expertise in public policy, public health, Medicaid and CHIP operations, and data analysis. Based in Washington, DC, MACPAC holds public meetings and engages with state officials, federal staff, beneficiaries, providers, researchers, and policy experts to inform its deliberations. A recent development noted is the collaboration with CMS to assess Medicaid data and evaluate impacts on payment and related outcomes through stakeholder and interagency work. MACPAC serves a relatively small, specialized role within the government administration landscape, focused on Medicaid and CHIP policy analysis and guidance.
