00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.996
Question 52.

00:00:00.996 --> 00:00:04.182
What objective criteria supported
recommendations that Waiver I

00:00:04.182 --> 00:00:06.173
participants move to Waiver II?

00:00:06.173 --> 00:00:09.359
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:09.757
finding.

00:00:09.757 --> 00:00:10.554
People served:

00:00:10.554 --> 00:00:13.740
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.925
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

00:00:16.925 --> 00:00:17.722
David Medeiros:

00:00:17.722 --> 00:00:20.908
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

00:00:20.908 --> 00:00:23.695
but government action and
causation remain essential.

00:00:23.695 --> 00:00:24.492
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.492 --> 00:00:27.677
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

00:00:27.677 --> 00:00:30.863
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

00:00:30.863 --> 00:00:32.058
or waiver placement.

00:00:32.058 --> 00:00:34.049
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:37.235
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.235 --> 00:00:38.031
a contract.

00:00:38.031 --> 00:00:40.819
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.819 --> 00:00:43.208
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

00:00:43.208 --> 00:00:45.996
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

00:00:45.996 --> 00:00:48.783
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
