00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.933
David Medeiros’s Livewire page is a first-person account of

00:00:02.933 --> 00:00:07.675
founding ABI Resources and later reporting concerns about

00:00:07.675 --> 00:00:10.670
Connecticut’s ABI Waiver. Personal experience can identify records to

00:00:10.670 --> 00:00:13.290
test; it is not an audit or legal

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.725
finding. Review six parts: speaker role, contemporaneous documents, participant

00:00:15.725 --> 00:00:21.527
choice, person-centered plans, service delivery, and agency responses. Federal

00:00:21.527 --> 00:00:24.336
rules generally protect access to qualified willing providers

00:00:24.336 --> 00:00:29.702
and require HCBS planning to offer informed choices, subject

00:00:29.702 --> 00:00:33.071
to exceptions. Compare each incident with authorizations, referrals, plans,

00:00:33.071 --> 00:00:37.377
provider communications, payment records, and final agency determinations.

00:00:37.377 --> 00:00:40.060
A complaint, delay, disputed payment, or retaliation allegation does

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:43.991
not prove fraud, discrimination, obstruction, or liability. Preserve

00:00:43.991 --> 00:00:49.170
the account, then verify each proposition independently at david-medeiros.com/abi-origin.
