00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,003
Question 38.

2
00:00:01,003 --> 00:00:04,214
Did the directory include
every enrolled, qualified, and

3
00:00:04,214 --> 00:00:05,017
available provider?

4
00:00:05,017 --> 00:00:08,228
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:08,228 --> 00:00:08,629
finding.

6
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:09,432
People served:

7
00:00:09,432 --> 00:00:11,840
Choice must be meaningful
and accessible;

8
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,051
a hidden or unusable directory
may require regulatory

9
00:00:15,051 --> 00:00:16,256
and disability-access review.

10
00:00:16,256 --> 00:00:17,058
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:17,058 --> 00:00:19,868
Requests, complaints, and
public-record activity may be

12
00:00:19,868 --> 00:00:23,079
protected, but retaliation
and access each use different

13
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:23,882
legal tests.

14
00:00:23,882 --> 00:00:24,685
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:24,685 --> 00:00:27,896
Directory inclusion may involve
program or contract rules,

16
00:00:27,896 --> 00:00:30,706
not an automatic constitutional
entitlement to business.

17
00:00:30,706 --> 00:00:32,713
Constitutional claims
need state action;

18
00:00:32,713 --> 00:00:35,924
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

19
00:00:35,924 --> 00:00:36,727
a contract.

20
00:00:36,727 --> 00:00:39,536
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

21
00:00:39,536 --> 00:00:42,747
Preserve directory versions, change
logs, eligibility rules, access

22
00:00:42,747 --> 00:00:45,557
tests, notices, and provider
lists actually shown.

23
00:00:45,557 --> 00:00:48,367
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
