00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.971
Question 49.

00:00:00.971 --> 00:00:04.053
Were the people providing care
management properly qualified,

00:00:04.053 --> 00:00:07.136
trained, licensed where required,
and assigned under valid...?

00:00:07.136 --> 00:00:10.219
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.219 --> 00:00:10.604
finding.

00:00:10.604 --> 00:00:11.374
People served:

00:00:11.374 --> 00:00:14.457
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

00:00:14.457 --> 00:00:17.540
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:18.310
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:21.393
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

00:00:21.393 --> 00:00:24.090
but government action and
causation remain essential.

00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:24.861
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.861 --> 00:00:27.944
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

00:00:27.944 --> 00:00:31.026
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

00:00:31.026 --> 00:00:32.182
or waiver placement.

00:00:32.182 --> 00:00:34.109
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.109 --> 00:00:37.191
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.191 --> 00:00:37.962
a contract.

00:00:37.962 --> 00:00:40.659
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:42.971
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

00:00:42.971 --> 00:00:45.669
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

00:00:45.669 --> 00:00:48.366
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
