00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.914
David Medeiros’s Livewire page is a first-person account of

00:00:02.914 --> 00:00:07.627
why he founded ABI Resources and later reported

00:00:07.627 --> 00:00:10.604
concerns about Connecticut’s ABI Waiver. Personal experience can identify

00:00:10.604 --> 00:00:13.209
records to test; it is not an audit or

00:00:13.209 --> 00:00:15.628
legal finding. Review six parts: role, contemporaneous documents,

00:00:15.628 --> 00:00:21.394
participant choice, person-centered plans, service delivery, and agency responses.

00:00:21.394 --> 00:00:24.185
Federal rules generally protect access to qualified willing providers

00:00:24.185 --> 00:00:29.518
and require HCBS planning to offer informed choices, subject

00:00:29.518 --> 00:00:32.867
to exceptions. Compare each reported incident with authorizations,

00:00:32.867 --> 00:00:37.147
referrals, plans, provider communications, payments, and final agency determinations.

00:00:37.147 --> 00:00:39.813
A complaint, delay, disputed payment, or retaliation allegation does

00:00:39.813 --> 00:00:43.720
not prove fraud, discrimination, obstruction, or liability. Preserve

00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:49.053
the account, then verify each proposition independently at david-medeiros.com/founder-truth.
