1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,983
Question 44.

2
00:00:00,983 --> 00:00:04,116
Did the provider names
actually offered by care

3
00:00:04,116 --> 00:00:06,074
managers match the full directory?

4
00:00:06,074 --> 00:00:09,207
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:09,207 --> 00:00:09,599
finding.

6
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:10,382
People served:

7
00:00:10,382 --> 00:00:12,731
Choice must be meaningful
and accessible;

8
00:00:12,731 --> 00:00:15,864
a hidden or unusable directory
may require regulatory

9
00:00:15,864 --> 00:00:17,039
and disability-access review.

10
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:17,822
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:17,822 --> 00:00:20,564
Requests, complaints, and
public-record activity may be

12
00:00:20,564 --> 00:00:23,697
protected, but retaliation
and access each use different

13
00:00:23,697 --> 00:00:24,480
legal tests.

14
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,263
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:25,263 --> 00:00:28,396
Directory inclusion may involve
program or contract rules,

16
00:00:28,396 --> 00:00:31,137
not an automatic constitutional
entitlement to business.

17
00:00:31,137 --> 00:00:33,095
Constitutional claims
need state action;

18
00:00:33,095 --> 00:00:36,228
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

19
00:00:36,228 --> 00:00:37,011
a contract.

20
00:00:37,011 --> 00:00:39,752
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

21
00:00:39,752 --> 00:00:42,885
Preserve directory versions, change
logs, eligibility rules, access

22
00:00:42,885 --> 00:00:45,627
tests, notices, and provider
lists actually shown.

23
00:00:45,627 --> 00:00:48,368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
