00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.977
Question 48.

00:00:00.977 --> 00:00:04.085
What billing code, authorization,
funding source, and service

00:00:04.085 --> 00:00:06.804
definition were used for
each disputed consultation?

00:00:06.804 --> 00:00:09.911
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.911 --> 00:00:10.300
finding.

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:11.077
People served:

00:00:11.077 --> 00:00:14.184
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

00:00:14.184 --> 00:00:17.292
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

00:00:17.292 --> 00:00:18.069
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.069 --> 00:00:21.176
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

00:00:21.176 --> 00:00:23.896
but government action and
causation remain essential.

00:00:23.896 --> 00:00:24.672
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.672 --> 00:00:27.780
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:30.888
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

00:00:30.888 --> 00:00:32.053
or waiver placement.

00:00:32.053 --> 00:00:33.995
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.995 --> 00:00:37.103
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.103 --> 00:00:37.880
a contract.

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.599
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.599 --> 00:00:42.930
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:45.649
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:48.368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
