00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.997
Question 12.

00:00:00.997 --> 00:00:04.183
Does a complete referral
ledger exist showing every

00:00:04.183 --> 00:00:07.369
referral, date, care manager, provider
considered, participant preference...?

00:00:07.369 --> 00:00:10.556
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.556 --> 00:00:10.954
finding.

00:00:10.954 --> 00:00:11.751
People served:

00:00:11.751 --> 00:00:14.140
A beneficiary may have
informed-choice, accessible-notice,

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:16.928
hearing, and qualified-provider
protections, subject to program

00:00:16.928 --> 00:00:17.327
limits.

00:00:17.327 --> 00:00:18.123
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.123 --> 00:00:21.310
Reporting possible steering
can be protected speech or

00:00:21.310 --> 00:00:24.496
statutory activity only if
each required element is

00:00:24.496 --> 00:00:24.894
proved.

00:00:24.894 --> 00:00:25.691
ABI Resources:

00:00:25.691 --> 00:00:28.877
Beneficiary choice does not
give ABI a constitutional

00:00:28.877 --> 00:00:32.064
right to referrals,
volume, renewal, or a state

00:00:32.064 --> 00:00:32.462
contract.

00:00:32.462 --> 00:00:34.454
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.454 --> 00:00:37.640
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:38.437
a contract.

00:00:38.437 --> 00:00:41.225
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:41.225 --> 00:00:44.411
Preserve the full referral
ledger, provider options shown,

00:00:44.411 --> 00:00:46.403
reasons, dates,
decision-makers, and outcomes.

00:00:46.403 --> 00:00:49.191
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
