00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.983
Question 46.

00:00:00.983 --> 00:00:04.116
What exact 2023 authority allowed
or prohibited care-management

00:00:04.116 --> 00:00:06.466
consultation services in ABI Waiver I?

00:00:06.466 --> 00:00:09.598
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.598 --> 00:00:09.990
finding.

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:10.773
People served:

00:00:10.773 --> 00:00:13.906
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

00:00:13.906 --> 00:00:17.039
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:17.822
David Medeiros:

00:00:17.822 --> 00:00:20.955
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

00:00:20.955 --> 00:00:23.696
but government action and
causation remain essential.

00:00:23.696 --> 00:00:24.479
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.479 --> 00:00:27.612
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

00:00:27.612 --> 00:00:30.745
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

00:00:30.745 --> 00:00:31.920
or waiver placement.

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:33.878
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.878 --> 00:00:37.010
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.010 --> 00:00:37.794
a contract.

00:00:37.794 --> 00:00:40.535
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.535 --> 00:00:42.885
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

00:00:42.885 --> 00:00:45.626
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

00:00:45.626 --> 00:00:48.367
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
