00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.807
The report sought explanations
for missing plans,

00:00:03.807 --> 00:00:06.383
program changes, and
unequal treatment.

00:00:06.383 --> 00:00:09.990
Constitutional due
process is not a general

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:11.536
promise of fairness.

00:00:11.536 --> 00:00:15.143
Lawyers first identify
a protected liberty or

00:00:15.143 --> 00:00:18.750
property interest, the
government action, and the

00:00:18.750 --> 00:00:20.811
notice and hearing due.

00:00:20.811 --> 00:00:24.418
Medicaid rules separately
provide notice and fair-hearing

00:00:24.418 --> 00:00:26.995
rights for specified
beneficiary actions.

00:00:26.995 --> 00:00:30.602
People served may hold
the strongest procedural

00:00:30.602 --> 00:00:31.117
claim.

00:00:31.117 --> 00:00:34.724
Medeiros may invoke petition
or retaliation protections.

00:00:34.724 --> 00:00:38.331
ABI Resources must identify
an actual entitlement

00:00:38.331 --> 00:00:41.422
in law, contract, or provider status;

00:00:41.422 --> 00:00:43.999
expected referrals are not enough.

00:00:43.999 --> 00:00:47.606
The decisive evidence
is the governing source,

00:00:47.606 --> 00:00:51.213
written notice, reasons, effective
date, hearing opportunity,

00:00:51.213 --> 00:00:53.789
continuation rule, and final decision.

00:00:53.789 --> 00:00:57.396
Precision creates a claim a court can

00:00:57.396 --> 00:00:57.911
test.
