00:00:00.186 --> 00:00:02.632
A reform blueprint is a proposal,

00:00:02.632 --> 00:00:04.265
not an audit order.

00:00:04.265 --> 00:00:06.711
This Livewire page asks federal institutions

00:00:06.711 --> 00:00:08.751
to coordinate Medicaid disability oversight.

00:00:08.751 --> 00:00:10.789
Read it in three columns.

00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:14.052
First, current authority: provider choice generally protects access

00:00:14.052 --> 00:00:16.908
to qualified, willing providers, subject to exceptions.

00:00:16.908 --> 00:00:19.354
Other laws have their own tests.

00:00:19.354 --> 00:00:22.209
Second, existing tools: complaints, audits, record requests,

00:00:22.209 --> 00:00:23.840
referrals, and congressional inquiries.

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:27.104
None proves the page's allegations or guarantees action.

00:00:27.104 --> 00:00:29.959
Third, proposed reforms: choice and preservation receipts,

00:00:29.959 --> 00:00:32.814
No Wrong Door intake, a provider-verification site,

00:00:32.814 --> 00:00:34.445
and an independent monitor.

00:00:34.445 --> 00:00:38.116
These are David Medeiros proposals, not current federal requirements.

00:00:38.116 --> 00:00:40.971
Each institution must confirm jurisdiction, evidence, procedure,

00:00:40.971 --> 00:00:41.786
and remedy.

00:00:41.786 --> 00:00:44.641
A closed-system label is an audit hypothesis,

00:00:44.641 --> 00:00:47.088
not proof of conspiracy or fraud.

00:00:47.088 --> 00:00:49.534
