00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.985
Question 53.

00:00:00.985 --> 00:00:04.123
Did each recommended transition
have a written assessment,

00:00:04.123 --> 00:00:06.477
alternatives, informed consent,
and appeal information?

00:00:06.477 --> 00:00:09.615
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.615 --> 00:00:10.008
finding.

00:00:10.008 --> 00:00:10.792
People served:

00:00:10.792 --> 00:00:13.931
A covered service decision
may require informed choice,

00:00:13.931 --> 00:00:17.069
conflict safeguards, accessible
notice, and a fair hearing.

00:00:17.069 --> 00:00:17.854
David Medeiros:

00:00:17.854 --> 00:00:20.992
Questioning authority or transitions
may be protected advocacy,

00:00:20.992 --> 00:00:23.738
but government action and
causation remain essential.

00:00:23.738 --> 00:00:24.523
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.523 --> 00:00:27.662
ABI may enforce actual
contracts or process rights;

00:00:27.662 --> 00:00:30.800
it has no presumed
property right in referrals

00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:31.977
or waiver placement.

00:00:31.977 --> 00:00:33.938
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.938 --> 00:00:37.077
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.077 --> 00:00:37.862
a contract.

00:00:37.862 --> 00:00:40.608
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.608 --> 00:00:42.962
Preserve waiver terms, amendments,
authorizations, assessments,

00:00:42.962 --> 00:00:45.708
consultation notes, billing
codes, notices, and appeals.

00:00:45.708 --> 00:00:48.454
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
