The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) announced on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, that its Medicaid Advisory Committee (MAC) is recruiting for three open positions.

What the committee does. The MAC is a federally required body that advises the Oregon Health Policy Board, OHA and the Oregon Department of Human Services on how Oregon’s Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), operates.

Attendance can be virtual. OHA estimates one to two more hours a month to prepare. Compensation and travel reimbursement are available for eligible members.
