1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,971
Question 49.

2
00:00:00,971 --> 00:00:04,053
Were the people providing care
management properly qualified,

3
00:00:04,053 --> 00:00:07,136
trained, licensed where required,
and assigned under valid...?

4
00:00:07,136 --> 00:00:10,219
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:10,604
finding.

6
00:00:10,604 --> 00:00:11,374
People served:

7
00:00:11,374 --> 00:00:14,457
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

8
00:00:14,457 --> 00:00:17,540
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

9
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:18,310
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,393
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

11
00:00:21,393 --> 00:00:24,090
but government action and
causation remain essential.

12
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:24,861
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,861 --> 00:00:27,944
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

14
00:00:27,944 --> 00:00:31,026
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

15
00:00:31,026 --> 00:00:32,182
or waiver placement.

16
00:00:32,182 --> 00:00:34,109
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:34,109 --> 00:00:37,191
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:37,191 --> 00:00:37,962
a contract.

19
00:00:37,962 --> 00:00:40,659
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:40,659 --> 00:00:42,971
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

21
00:00:42,971 --> 00:00:45,669
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

22
00:00:45,669 --> 00:00:48,366
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
