In 2023, Medeiros asked whether people were being denied meaningful access to the ABI provider directory and steered through unequal referral channels. Federal Medicaid law generally lets a beneficiary choose a qualified, willing provider, subject to lawful waiver or managed-care limits. HCBS planning must offer informed choices about services and who provides them. That right belongs first to the person served. It does not guarantee ABI Resources referrals, volume, or a contract. Medeiros's role is different: reporting and petitioning government. The decisive evidence is simple—every provider list shown, every option offered, every referral reason, and every exception invoked. A hidden option cannot be chosen. But only those records can establish whether the concern became a legal violation.
