00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,996
Question 62.

2
00:00:00,996 --> 00:00:04,181
Were any clinicians, consultants,
or managers rewarded for

3
00:00:04,181 --> 00:00:06,967
referrals, utilization, enrollment,
occupancy, or revenue growth?

4
00:00:06,967 --> 00:00:10,152
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,152 --> 00:00:10,550
finding.

6
00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:11,346
People served:

7
00:00:11,346 --> 00:00:14,133
Person-centered planning requires
informed options and conflict

8
00:00:14,133 --> 00:00:14,531
safeguards;

9
00:00:14,531 --> 00:00:16,920
disability law may protect
meaningful participation.

10
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:17,716
David Medeiros:

11
00:00:17,716 --> 00:00:20,900
Reporting possible conflicts
may be protected under speech

12
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,085
or retaliation rules only
when coverage and proof

13
00:00:24,085 --> 00:00:24,483
align.

14
00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:25,279
ABI Resources:

15
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:28,464
ABI may challenge unequal
governmental treatment or contract

16
00:00:28,464 --> 00:00:31,649
action, but competition
alone is not a constitutional

17
00:00:31,649 --> 00:00:32,047
violation.

18
00:00:32,047 --> 00:00:34,037
Constitutional claims
need state action;

19
00:00:34,037 --> 00:00:37,222
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

20
00:00:37,222 --> 00:00:38,018
a contract.

21
00:00:38,018 --> 00:00:40,805
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

22
00:00:40,805 --> 00:00:43,193
Preserve ownership, employment,
referrals, alternatives, disclosures,

23
00:00:43,193 --> 00:00:45,582
clinical need, authorizations,
claims, and outcomes.

24
00:00:45,582 --> 00:00:48,368
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
