00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.010
Question 59.

00:00:01.010 --> 00:00:04.248
Did clinical notes identify and
discuss alternative providers

00:00:04.248 --> 00:00:06.272
before recommending
an affiliated service?

00:00:06.272 --> 00:00:09.510
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:09.915
finding.

00:00:09.915 --> 00:00:10.724
People served:

00:00:10.724 --> 00:00:13.558
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

00:00:13.558 --> 00:00:13.962
safeguards;

00:00:13.962 --> 00:00:16.391
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

00:00:16.391 --> 00:00:17.200
David Medeiros:

00:00:17.200 --> 00:00:20.439
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:23.677
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

00:00:23.677 --> 00:00:24.082
align.

00:00:24.082 --> 00:00:24.891
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.891 --> 00:00:28.129
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

00:00:28.129 --> 00:00:31.368
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

00:00:31.368 --> 00:00:31.772
violation.

00:00:31.772 --> 00:00:33.796
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.796 --> 00:00:37.034
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.034 --> 00:00:37.844
a contract.

00:00:37.844 --> 00:00:40.677
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:40.677 --> 00:00:43.106
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

00:00:43.106 --> 00:00:45.535
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

00:00:45.535 --> 00:00:48.368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
