00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.996
Question 61.

00:00:00.996 --> 00:00:04.179
Did service utilization rise after
particular clinical recommendations,

00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:07.363
and was the increase supported
by measurable outcomes?

00:00:07.363 --> 00:00:10.547
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.547 --> 00:00:10.945
finding.

00:00:10.945 --> 00:00:11.741
People served:

00:00:11.741 --> 00:00:14.526
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

00:00:14.526 --> 00:00:14.924
safeguards;

00:00:14.924 --> 00:00:17.312
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

00:00:17.312 --> 00:00:18.108
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.108 --> 00:00:21.291
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

00:00:21.291 --> 00:00:24.475
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

00:00:24.475 --> 00:00:24.873
align.

00:00:24.873 --> 00:00:25.669
ABI Resources:

00:00:25.669 --> 00:00:28.852
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

00:00:28.852 --> 00:00:32.036
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

00:00:32.036 --> 00:00:32.434
violation.

00:00:32.434 --> 00:00:34.424
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:34.424 --> 00:00:37.607
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:37.607 --> 00:00:38.403
a contract.

00:00:38.403 --> 00:00:41.189
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:43.576
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

00:00:43.576 --> 00:00:45.964
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

00:00:45.964 --> 00:00:48.750
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
