1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,010
Question 5.

2
00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:04,248
Were genuine alternatives
explained and recorded before a

3
00:00:04,248 --> 00:00:07,081
participant selected a
provider, service, or home?

4
00:00:07,081 --> 00:00:10,319
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,319 --> 00:00:10,724
finding.

6
00:00:10,724 --> 00:00:11,533
People served:

7
00:00:11,533 --> 00:00:14,367
Government Medicaid decisions may
implicate accessible planning,

8
00:00:14,367 --> 00:00:17,200
disability access, fair process,
and community integration.

9
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,009
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,009 --> 00:00:21,248
Speaking, petitioning, or helping
people assert disability rights

11
00:00:21,248 --> 00:00:23,676
may be protected from
governmental retaliation.

12
00:00:23,676 --> 00:00:24,486
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,486 --> 00:00:27,724
ABI may advocate and
preserve records, but its

14
00:00:27,724 --> 00:00:30,962
own constitutional claim
still needs state action and

15
00:00:30,962 --> 00:00:32,176
a protected interest.

16
00:00:32,176 --> 00:00:34,200
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,438
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:38,248
a contract.

19
00:00:38,248 --> 00:00:41,081
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:41,081 --> 00:00:44,319
Preserve the participant's plans,
notices, choices, safety reviews,

21
00:00:44,319 --> 00:00:45,533
and service history.

22
00:00:45,533 --> 00:00:48,367
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
