00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,914
David Medeiros’s Livewire page is a first-person account of

2
00:00:02,914 --> 00:00:07,627
why he founded ABI Resources and later reported

3
00:00:07,627 --> 00:00:10,604
concerns about Connecticut’s ABI Waiver. Personal experience can identify

4
00:00:10,604 --> 00:00:13,209
records to test; it is not an audit or

5
00:00:13,209 --> 00:00:15,628
legal finding. Review six parts: role, contemporaneous documents,

6
00:00:15,628 --> 00:00:21,394
participant choice, person-centered plans, service delivery, and agency responses.

7
00:00:21,394 --> 00:00:24,185
Federal rules generally protect access to qualified willing providers

8
00:00:24,185 --> 00:00:29,518
and require HCBS planning to offer informed choices, subject

9
00:00:29,518 --> 00:00:32,867
to exceptions. Compare each reported incident with authorizations,

10
00:00:32,867 --> 00:00:37,147
referrals, plans, provider communications, payments, and final agency determinations.

11
00:00:37,147 --> 00:00:39,813
A complaint, delay, disputed payment, or retaliation allegation does

12
00:00:39,813 --> 00:00:43,720
not prove fraud, discrimination, obstruction, or liability. Preserve

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:49,053
the account, then verify each proposition independently at david-medeiros.com/founder-truth.
