1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,016
Question 9.

2
00:00:01,016 --> 00:00:04,282
How are participant consent, family
involvement, conservator authority,

3
00:00:04,282 --> 00:00:06,731
and provider advocacy
separated and documented?

4
00:00:06,731 --> 00:00:09,996
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:09,996 --> 00:00:10,404
finding.

6
00:00:10,404 --> 00:00:11,220
People served:

7
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:14,078
Government Medicaid decisions may
implicate accessible planning,

8
00:00:14,078 --> 00:00:16,935
disability access, fair process,
and community integration.

9
00:00:16,935 --> 00:00:17,751
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:17,751 --> 00:00:21,016
Speaking, petitioning, or helping
people assert disability rights

11
00:00:21,016 --> 00:00:23,465
may be protected from
governmental retaliation.

12
00:00:23,465 --> 00:00:24,282
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,282 --> 00:00:27,547
ABI may advocate and
preserve records, but its

14
00:00:27,547 --> 00:00:30,812
own constitutional claim
still needs state action and

15
00:00:30,812 --> 00:00:32,037
a protected interest.

16
00:00:32,037 --> 00:00:34,077
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:34,077 --> 00:00:37,343
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,343 --> 00:00:38,159
a contract.

19
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,016
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:41,016 --> 00:00:44,282
Preserve the participant's plans,
notices, choices, safety reviews,

21
00:00:44,282 --> 00:00:45,506
and service history.

22
00:00:45,506 --> 00:00:48,363
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
